Simplex 4090-9001 Supervised Individual Addressable Module (IAM)

The Simplex 4090-9001 is a supervised Individual Addressable Module (IAM) designed to provide location-specific addressability for initiating devices within Simplex fire alarm systems. It connects to a single device (e.g., smoke detector alarm contacts, heat detector contacts) or multiple devices at the same location by monitoring normally open dry contacts and wiring to an end-of-line resistor. Utilizing ID Net or MAPNET II communication protocols, this module delivers both power and data over a single two-wire circuit, making it an efficient solution for fire detection applications.
  • The 4090-9001 enhances system flexibility by providing precise location data and supervision without requiring separate power wiring.
  • Installation requires a compatible Simplex control panel and proper end-of-line resistor configuration.
  • Ideal for integrating individual initiating devices into addressable fire alarm systems
  • Common uses include monitoring waterflow switches, tamper switches, or manual pull station contacts
