The Simplex 4099-9001 is a MapNet II Single Action Manual Pull Station designed for use with Simplex addressable fire alarm control panels. Whether you need the 4099-9001 data sheet, technical specifications, or a replacement unit, this guide has you covered. You will find product details, discontinuation information, and the recommended replacement all in one place.
What Is the Simplex 4099-9001 Pull Station?
The Simplex 4099-9001 is a manual pull station built for Simplex’s MapNet II addressable fire alarm systems. It operates as a single-action device, meaning it activates with one downward pull. This makes it fast and intuitive for building occupants during an emergency. Because of its addressable design, the 4099-9001 communicates directly with the fire alarm control panel, which helps technicians pinpoint the exact location of an alarm activation.
The 4099-9001 is compatible with several widely used Simplex control panel models. These include the Simplex 4008, Simplex 4010, Simplex 4100U, and Simplex 4020. As a result, it saw extensive deployment in commercial buildings, healthcare facilities, schools, and other institutional settings across North America.
Simplex 4099-9001 Technical Specifications
Understanding the technical specs of the 4099-9001 helps when you are planning a replacement or confirming compatibility. This device is a single-action pull station that runs on the MapNet II addressable loop. It uses a single-gang backbox for mounting, and its operating voltage is 15 to 32V DC, supplied directly through the loop. The red thermoplastic housing features white lettering, and the unit operates between 32°F and 120°F (0°C and 49°C).
These specifications make the 4099-9001 well-suited for commercial environments where addressable fire alarm systems are the standard. However, since this model is now discontinued, it is important to know your options before attempting a like-for-like replacement.

Is the Simplex 4099-9001 Discontinued?
Yes — the Simplex 4099-9001 is discontinued by the manufacturer. Simplex, now part of Johnson Controls, replaced it with the Simplex 4099-9004, which is the current generation MapNet II single-action manual pull station.
Fortunately, the transition is straightforward. The 4099-9004 uses the same familiar Simplex manual station housing and is fully compatible with the same control panels as the 4099-9001. In most cases, you can reuse the existing wiring and backbox, which helps keep labor costs low. This means the swap is typically quick and does not require major system modifications.
Simplex 4099-9004: The Recommended Replacement
The Simplex 4099-9004 is a direct replacement for the 4099-9001, and it improves on the original design with modern addressable features. It offers individual addressing for precise alarm location identification, which makes it easier for monitoring centers and fire departments to respond accurately. Furthermore, the device includes a compact communication module integrated into the standard Simplex housing, so there is no need for additional hardware.
The 4099-9004 supports single-action activation, just like its predecessor, making it easy and reliable for building occupants to use. It is fully compatible with Simplex MapNet II addressable systems and is built for demanding commercial and institutional applications.

When Should You Replace a Pull Station?
Pull stations have a long service life, but certain conditions call for immediate replacement. You should replace a manual pull station when it shows physical damage such as a cracked housing, broken pull lever, or signs of vandalism. Additionally, a pull station needs attention when it has been activated and the internal mechanism shows wear or does not reset properly. If a fire alarm technician identifies a fault or communication error with the device, replacement is typically the safest course of action.
Beyond visible damage, you should also consider replacement when upgrading your panel to ensure fully compatible addressable devices throughout the system. Moreover, NFPA 72 sets guidelines for the service life of fire alarm initiating devices. Regular inspection and testing of manual pull stations is required under that standard. If a station fails inspection or shows signs of wear, replacing it promptly keeps your system performing at its best when it matters most.
