8 ALARM VERIFICATION

The Simplicity now includes an option to use alarm verification.
It is intended for use in apartments, and similar buildings, where it is desirable that an alarm from one apartment
(or area) would need to be confirmed before the whole system goes into alarm.

8.1 How Alarm Verification Works

The verification function works as follows:-
1. Any SMOKE detector on the system can be set to verify an alarm.
2. If a detector with the verification setting senses smoke, the detector alarm led will turn on. If the
detector has an associated sounder base, the sounder base will turn on too. The Simplicity panel`s
screen will show "Confirming alarm"
3. If the detector drops below the alarm level within the programmed verification time (30 seconds to 4
minutes), the sounder will turn off, and the panel will reset within 5 minutes.
4. If the detector stays in alarm by the end of the verification delay, the system will go into full alarm.
5. If a detector WITHOUT verification setting goes into alarm, the panel will go straight into full alarm.
With this method of operation a "cooking alarm" in one apartment will alarm locally, giving the apartment
occupants a chance to clear the smoke before the whole building is evacuated. Also, as a "failsafe", if a heat
detector alarms, or if a second smoke detector on the system goes into alarm, the system will go into full alarm.

8.2 Setting the Alarm Verification Delay

To set the verification delay, go to Configuration menu 2 and select option 6
System menu.
From the system menu, select option 4 (timing)
From the alarm timing screen, select option 2 (Alarm Verify)
Use Prev & Next to adjust the time, then press enter to confirm

8.3 Applying Alarm Verification Delay to a detector

To set the verification delay for a detector, go to Configuration menu 2 and select option 5
(Edit Device)
Scroll to the required device, then press V for Verification. The letter V appears in the top
Right hand corner to confirm that this device now has the verification delay. Pressing "V"
again will toggle the Verification off.
