Simplex 4090-5260 - MX Addressable Area Monitoring ZAM Module

Simplex 4090-5260 - Addressable MX Zone Monitoring ZAM Module

The Simplex 4090-5260 is a Zone Adapter (Monitor ZAM) module used to monitor conventional 2-wire trigger circuits in addressable MX fire alarm systems. The device provides a unique addressable interface for each conventional IDC circuit, allowing connection of 2-wire devices such as heat detectors, smoke detectors, and emergency push buttons to addressable fire alarm control panels such as the 2050FS, 2250FS, 4007ES, 4010ES, and 4100ES.

The 4090-5260 is robustly designed and sealed, suitable for installation in standard 4-inch electrical boxes, with status LEDs for communication, enabling easy on-site monitoring and testing by technicians. Address selection can be done via DIP switches (hard addressing) or Digital Enrollment (soft addressing), allowing for flexible installation and saving setup time.

The product is UL Listed according to UL 864 standards, ensuring compliance with safety and quality requirements in professional fire alarm systems.
