Wiring Instructions
Cautions and Warnings DO NOT INSTALL ANY SIMPLEX PRODUCT THAT APPEARS
DAMAGED. Upon unpacking your Simplex product, inspect the contents of the
carton for shipping damage. If damage is apparent, immediately file a claim
with the carrier and notify Simplex.
ELECTRICAL HAZARD - Disconnect electrical power when making any
internal adjustments or repairs. Servicing should be performed by qualified
Simplex Representatives.

STATIC HAZARD - Static electricity can damage components. Therefore,

handle as follows:
1. Ground yourself before opening or installing components (use the 553-484
Static Control Kit).
2. Keep uninstalled component wrapped in anti-static material at all times.

Overview This publication shows how to connect the 2081-9046 Coil Supervision Module
to a Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP). Refer to the 4010 Fire Alarm – Front
Panel Installing, Operating, and Programming Instructions (574-052) for
configuration information. Refer to the 842-058 Field Wiring Diagram for
additional 4010 wiring information. For other FACPs see Field Wiring
Drawings 841-669 for the 4002, 841-984 for the 4002 non-power limited,
841-940 for the 4020, and 841-941 for the 4100.

Overview of 2081-9046 Coil The 2081-9046 Coil Supervision Module (shown in Figure 1) supervises and
Supervision Module provides power for an electrically compatible suppression release solenoid coil,
when connected to a 24 VDC Notification Appliance Circuit (NAC). The input
voltage from the NAC must be connected between the Red and Black wires of
the module. The output control voltage to the solenoid is taken from the Yellow
and Black wires of the module. The output control voltage to the suppression
solenoid is activated when the NAC is activated, alarm state (i.e., +24 VDC to
the Red wire and 0 VDC to the Black wire). The output control voltage to the
suppression solenoid is non-active when the NAC is non-active in a supervisory
state (i.e. negative to the Red wire and positive to the Black wire). The module
allows for supervision of the connection to the solenoid coil. Diode suppression
is also provided for overvoltage inductive spikes.
