FIR 4098-9714 Detector – Photoelectric Smoke Head for Simplex 4010/4100U

Overview

The FIR 4098-9714 detector head is a purposefully designed replacement for Simplex smoke detection systems. It uses a photoelectric sensor and a 360-degree smoke entry design to respond quickly to smoke entering from any direction. It supports both analog and addressable configurations, making it versatile for mixed installations and ongoing system upgrades.

Key Benefits

In typical environments, airflow has only a minimal impact on performance, allowing the head to deliver stable sensing across a range of conditions. This makes it well suited for retrofit projects where a dependable sensing head is needed without changing the core panel setup.

• 360-degree smoke entry enables optimum response from any direction.
• Photoelectric sensing offers reliable detection in many smoke scenarios.
• Supports analog and addressable configurations, compatible with Simplex control panels.
• As a replacement head, it simplifies upgrades on existing systems and minimizes downtime.

Compatibility and Installation

The detector head is designed for use with Simplex control panels in the 4010 and 4100U series. It is built as a replacement head for compatible bases, allowing modernization of sensing without a full panel replacement.

Real-World Use Cases

In hallways, open-plan spaces, and larger rooms where smoke may originate from multiple directions, this head helps provide early warning without extensive configuration. Its compact form supports retrofit projects where a preferred photoelectric approach is in use.

What You Gain

Expect simpler maintenance, a straightforward upgrade path for existing Simplex networks, and a sensor head that aligns with typical safety workflows while offering dependable smoke detection in everyday conditions.
