The Simplex 4098-9755 is a multi-criteria TrueAlarm sensor. Specifically, it combines photoelectric smoke and heat sensing in a single addressable sensor head. In addition, it twists onto a Simplex TrueAlarm base for fast field replacement.
First, the sensor monitors both smoke obscuration and temperature continuously. Then, on-board algorithms cross-check both inputs to reduce nuisance alarms. As a result, the 4098-9755 reaches an alarm decision faster than single-sensor heads in many fire scenarios.
How the Simplex 4098-9755 Works
First, the sensor sends raw smoke and heat values back to the panel over MAPNET II / IDNet. Then the panel runs the alarm/calibration algorithm centrally. Therefore, sensitivity, drift compensation, and pre-alarm reporting are handled at the panel, not in the head.
In addition, the panel can map each sensor by address to a specific room or device label. Specifically, this enables point identification on the operator display rather than generic zone reporting. Furthermore, drift compensation extends the time between cleanings in most environments.
Compatible Simplex Bases
- 4098-9788 — standard TrueAlarm base (no terminals)
- 4098-9789 — TrueAlarm base with terminal connections
- 4098-9792 — TrueAlarm sounder base
- 4098-9794 — TrueAlarm relay base
- 4098-9796 — TrueAlarm isolator base
Always verify the base part number against the original installation. Also, some bases require specific panel firmware revisions to address correctly.
