Simplex 4098-9714 Smoke Detector
Note:
It is possible that devices manufactured after 2020 may require more recent firmware versions in the control panels to ensure full compatibility. This often happens when improvements are made to the devices or safety regulations are updated. Consequently, updated firmware in the control panels may be necessary to properly recognize and operate with these newer devices.
To confirm whether devices manufactured after 2020 require specific firmware or a particular version of the control panel, we recommend the following steps:
- Consult the Product Manual: Reviewing the manual will help determine if there are specific firmware requirements or compatibility notes.
- Contact Technical Support: Reaching out to Simplex or Johnson Controls technical support will provide precise information on compatibility and any necessary firmware updates.
- Check Firmware Update Notes: The release notes for new firmware versions for control panels often detail compatibility with newer devices. This may include mentioning the device’s manufacturing date and firmware requirements.
