The Simplex 4098-9686 is a 4-wire conventional duct smoke detector engineered for installation in HVAC air handling systems and ductwork. Designed for conventional initiating device circuit (IDC) wiring, the 4098-9686 uses separate power and signal conductors, making it compatible with conventional fire alarm control panels that support 4-wire detector configurations.
Key features of the Simplex 4098-9686 include:
- 4-Wire Conventional Wiring: Separate power and signal circuits for reliable operation on conventional IDC panels
- HVAC Duct Mounting: Purpose-built housing for installation in air handling units and supply/return ducts
- Smoke Detection: Photoelectric sensing technology optimized for duct air flow conditions
- Sampling Tubes: Includes inlet and exhaust sampling tubes to draw duct air across the sensing chamber
- Conventional IDC Compatible: Works with conventional fire alarm panels; separate from Simplex IDNet addressable duct housings
- UL Listed: Meets applicable UL standards for duct smoke detectors
The 4098-9686 is ideal for facilities requiring HVAC shutdown or smoke damper control on conventional fire alarm systems.
