LOCATE OR VERIFY A DEVICE

From the edit device screen, it is possible to send commands to individual
devices to start their sounder.
Select the loop and address for the device to be checked.
If the device is an addressable sounder, or a detector with a sounder
base attached, the sounder can be started by pressing the
7 button. The Outline sounder Symbol turns solid to show that the
Sounder is active. Press again to turn off.
Scrolling to another device or exiting the menu will automatically turn the sounder off.

USING THE EVENT LOG

The Simplicity has a 2048 entry event log. In the event of the log
being full, it will wrap around, and overwrite the earliest entries.
The event log can be viewed through Configuration Menu 1 by
selecting Option 3 - View Event Log. The screen prompts for which
events to display: Alarms, Faults, System or All.
Alarms
If the alarm option is shown, only alarms will be displayed. The screen
will show the event number, the date, the time, the type of event (in
this case, a DEVICE ALARM), and the Zone, loop and address,
if appropriate. Next & Previous buttons will cycle through the list.
Faults
Selecting this option will display all the faults recorded on the system,
Both device faults and general faults. The screen will show the event
number, the date, the time, the type of event (in this case, a
DEVICE CHANGED fault), and the Zone, loop and address,
if appropriate. Next & Previous buttons will cycle through the list.
System.
The Simplicity also records other non critical items, such as
keyswitch turned on etc. These can be used to help determine the
chain of actions before or after an event.
The type of events recorded are:- Power On/Startup, Panel Reset,
Evacuate, Keyswitch ON, Keyswitch OFF, Sounders Silenced,
Configure Loops, Time & Date Set, Zone Disabled, Zone Enabled, Device
Disabled, Device Enabled, Zone Test Start, and Zone Test Finish.
Note: during installation and commissioning, it is possible to create a large number of events, especially
if a configured loop is disconnected. This is normal, and is not a case for
concern. These events can be cleared, using Configuration Menu 2.
To clear the event log, go to Configuration Menu 2 and select
option 6 (Configure System). Select Option 3 to clear the event log.
The screen warns that this can not be undone. Press ENTer to
clear the event log, or any other button to cancel this screen.
It then prompts for the internal WRITE button to be pressed.
Note that when the event log is cleared, the EVENT NUMBER
remains the same. This is so that a visiting engineer will have an idea
of the activity on a panel, even if the event log has been cleared. The
counter has a maximum value of 524287, and will return to 0 after this.
