Fault display & fault-finding
On the Simplicity panel, Faults are divided into 2 types, "Faults" and "Device Faults". Device Faults are
any fault associated with a particular address on the loop. Faults is everything else, EG sounder circuits,
power supply etc. In the event of multiple faults, the Faults are grouped together first, followed by the
device faults. Next button will scroll to next fault
The Simplicity Micro panel will signal a fault by turning on it`s General Fault LED, sounding
it`s internal buzzer, and operating it`s fault relay (which is normally energised). It will also give
further information about the fault on it`s LCD screen.
The Simplicity Micro panel monitors for the following faults:-
Low or failed mains (Including fuses)
Low or failed battery (Including fuse)
Earth wiring Fault
Loop open circuit wiring fault
Loop short circuit wiring fault
Detector removed.
Double address (installation) fault
Most of these faults will need to be checked by an engineer, but the system can be checked
for a removed detector by the responsible person.
All faults in the Simplicity Micro are NON-LATCHING. IE they can not be cleared with the
reset button, because the message will return if the fault is still present. They will clear
automatically when the fault has been fixed.

Fault Finding

Power Supply faults

M a i n s
This is indicative of one or more of the following faults: -
Loss of Mains power
•
Check if there is a power cut at the premises.
•
Check that 230V AC is present at the mains inlet terminal block
•
Check mains fuse
•
Check that there is 30-34V coming from the transformer secondary
•
Check charger fuse FS1.
M a i n s
The panel has detected that the mains voltage is lower than the expected minimum.
(Brownout)
If the mains voltage is 195V or above, and the panel displays this message, check that no
abnormal load has been fitted to the panel.
If mains is OK, and no abnormal load is present consult your wholesaler.
B a t
Loss of Battery power
•
Check that 2 X 12V batteries are fitted in series to give 24V backup
