ELECTRICAL HAZARD Disconnect electrical field power when making any internal adjustments or repairs. All repairs should be
performed by a representative or an authorized agent of your local Simplex product supplier.
Important: When the Industrial Risk Insurers (IRI) abort type method (which does not comply with UL 864) is selected, the abort switch has no effect
when pressed after the second set of alarm signals activates.

Abort and Maintenance Switch Installation Instructions
Using the maintenance switches, a service technician can temporarily disconnect the releasing circuit from the FACP. When this switch activates, no
power can be applied to the actuator connected to the releasing tanks or deluge valve. As an option, this switch includes a lamp that illuminates when
the switch is active, providing a visual indication that the releasing circuit is disconnected.
Mounting
Important Compatibility Information
If a maintenance switch is used with a revision E or earlier Suppression Release Peripheral (SRP), or a revision E or earlier 4004R, then clip the resistor
that is connected between positions 2 and 4 on the maintenance switch contact block. The 4007ES panels need to be at revision 3.04 to support SRPs.
Flush Mounting
Install the flush-mount versions of the abort and maintenance switches in a UL-listed gang box with the following dimensions. Mount the current
limiting resistor (see Figure 3) in the same box as the abort switch.
• Abort Switch or Maintenance Switch without Lamp. Use a 2 3/4 inch deep, single-gang box (not supplied)
• Maintenance Switch with Lamp. Use a 2 3/4 inch deep, double-gang box (not supplied)
Install the gasket (provided) between the gang box and the switch plate, as shown in the Figure 1. Mount the abort or maintenance switch to
the gang box using #6/32 flathead screws, as shown in Figure 1.
Surface Mounting
Surface-mount versions ship with a gasketed, electrical box designed specifically for the switches.
Attach the two rectangular gaskets provided with the electrical box to the screw holes on the rear of the box. When the box is mounted to the wall,
these gaskets compress and seal the holes.
Remove the abort or maintenance switch cover from the supplied electrical box.
Mount the box to the wall in the desired location using appropriate screws (not supplied).
Cut conduit entrances for the field wiring. Attach the field wiring as described in next section of this manual. Use a weathertight fitting when attaching
the conduit to the box.
Attach the abort or maintenance switch cover with the screws from Step 2.
Field Wiring
Abort Switch - 4004R
4004R Special Purpose Monitor (SPM) circuits are used for connecting abort switches to the 4004R. The application type (i.e., single hazard or dual
hazard) determines the type of devices that can be connected to each SPM, as listed in the following table. Refer to 4004R Fire Alarm – Installation,
Programming and Operating Instructions (579-354) for additional details about using the abort switches with the 4004R.
4. Switch must be UL-Listed, Normally Open Dry Contact Type, rated 2A, 30 VDC.
6. Power Must be Proviced from FACP, 4009, or Regulated, Power-Limited, 24 VDC Supply. Supply Must be Listed for Fire-Protective Signaling
Use.
7. Refer to 842-073 IDNet Field Wiring Diagram for Details.
For 2080-9069 and 2080-9070 maintenance switches without lamps, all wiring is the same except for the lamp wiring, which is omitted.
