4098-9780 Simplex Supervised Relay Base
The Simplex 4098-9780 Supervised Relay Base is a 2-wire plug-in sensor base purpose-built for TrueAlarm analog smoke and heat sensors. Designed for commercial fire alarm installations, this base delivers programmable supervised relay operation – ideal where auxiliary equipment such as door holders, fan shutdowns, or elevator recall needs to respond to detector activation. The 4098-9780 draws power directly from the IDNet or MAPNET II communication loop, eliminating the need for a separate 24 VDC supply. Its ability to work with both locally mounted and remote 4098-9860 relays gives installers real flexibility across retrofit and new-build projects, while keeping the overall wiring count lower than conventional alternatives.
Features
- Plug-in 2-wire design pulls both power and data from the IDNet / MAPNET II loop – no separate supply required
- Programmable supervised relay operation with manual override available from the fire alarm control unit
- Supports remote or locally mounted 4098-9860 relay accessory for flexible application routing
- Built-in terminals for remote LED alarm indicator wiring simplify multi-zone visibility
- Optional 4098-9822 unsupervised relay compatibility for expanded control functions
- Broad Simplex panel compatibility including 4007ES, 4010ES, 4100ES, 4100U, and legacy 4020 / 4100 / 4120 Series
Benefits
Choosing the 4098-9780 reduces wiring complexity because the base doubles as both detector holder and supervised relay without requiring separate control runs. For facility managers maintaining older Simplex infrastructure, this base delivers a smooth upgrade path it is backward-compatible with legacy 4020, 4100, and 4120 panels while integrating cleanly with modern 4100ES systems. Supervised operation means the panel continuously verifies relay integrity, reducing the risk of silent failures that can compromise life-safety interlocks. Installers appreciate the plug-in form factor because it cuts commissioning time on large projects, and end users gain reliable activation of critical auxiliary systems during an alarm event.
