Flex 404
Four-Zone Fire Alarm Control Panel
Description
The Gamewell Flex 404 Fire Alarm
Control Panel brings the latest in mi-
croprocessor technology to conven-
tional fire controls. The Flex 404 is
compatible with the new
i³
™ smoke
detectors from System Sensor, and
provides advanced features including
drift compensation, maintenance alert,
and freeze warning. Automatic syn-
chronization of audio/visual devices is
provided, selectable for three manufac-
turers’ protocols. The NAC protocol in-
cludes the ability, using a single pair
of wires, to silence audible devices
while strobes continue to flash.
The Flex 404 is also compatible with conventional input devices such as two-
and four-wire smoke detectors, pull stations, waterflow devices, tamper switches
and other normally-open contact devices.
Operation
The activation of a compatible smoke detector or any normally-open fire alarm
initiating device will: activate audible and visual signaling devices, illuminate an
indicating LED, sound the piezo sounder at the FACP, activate the FACP alarm
relay, and operate an optional module which notifies a remote station or initiates
an auxiliary control function.

Technology Features
• Drift compensation automatically adjusts detector sensitivity and increases
resistance to false alarms caused by dust accumulation.
• The maintenance alert LEDs (per zone) warn of excessive dirt accumulation,
preventing false alarms.
• Detector sensitivity is automatically measured. The twice-yearly test require-
ments of NFPA 72 (7-3.2.1) are met without using a ladder or test meter.
• The wireless handheld sensitivity meter eliminates the need for voltmeters,
magnets, or a physical connection to the detector. The reader displays sensi-
tivity in terms of percent-per-foot obscuration and provides text status indica-
tion.
• The supervisory LED (per zone) provides a warning if a detector senses tem-
peratures approaching freezing.
• Special test protocol and LED indication allow a quick test of all detectors —
without a ladder.
• Electronic heat-sensing element provides thermal detection in addition to pho-
toelectronic smoke detection.
• Four Style B (Class B) Initiating Device Circuits
(IDCs); two Style Y (Class B) Notification
Appliance Circuits (NACs); optional module (P/
N
CAC-4)
converts 4 IDCs and two NACs to
Class A. 24 VDC.
•
NAC synchronization features:
– Provides synchronization of standard ANSI
audible signals as required by NFPA 72
(3-8.4.1.2.3).
– Provides synchronization of ADA compliant
strobes per NFPA 72 (4-4.4.1).
– Selectable for System Sensor, Cooper-
Wheelock,& Gentex protocols.
– Selective Silence feature allows manual
silencing of horns while strobes continue to
flash on the same NAC.
• Silent or Audible Walk Test operation mode
commanded from the front keypad, with
automatic return to normal after one hour of
inactivity.
• Alarm verification selectable per zone.
• Each zone may be programmed for supervisory
or fire; each zone has separate red and yellow
LEDs.
• Disable switches provided for each zone.
•
NACs programmable for:
Silence Inhibit, Auto
Silence, Strobe Synchronization, Selective
Silence (horn/strobe mute), Temporal or
Steady signal, Silenceable or Nonsilenceable.
• Form-C Alarm, Trouble, and Supervisory
relays.
• 3.0 A (6.0 A with optional second transformer)
total usable current.
• Piezo sounder for alarm, trouble, supervisory,
and maintenance.
•
Control buttons:
ACK (Acknowledge), Alarm
Silence, Reset, Walktest, Zone Enable/Disable
(one per zone).
•
LED indicators:
Fire Alarm (one per zone),

zone), Maintenance (one per zone), AC
Power, NAC Disable, Zone Disable, NAC
Fault, System Trouble, Power Trouble,
