1.2 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS DURING NORMAL OPERATION OF PANEL NOTE: When the Simplicity Plus panel is operating normally, i.e. not being tended by service personnel, the access door must be closed and locked. After locking, the key MUST be removed and ONLY held by the responsible person and / or the service personnel. -

Page 7: Panel Description & Design Concept
3.2 PANEL DESCRIPTION & DESIGN CONCEPT The Simplicity Plus is a one or two loop analogue addressable fire alarm control panel designed to EN54 part 2 & 4. It is available in three versions. Simplicity 64 allows 64 devices to be connected to one loop, and divided into 4 zones. -
Page 8: Using This Manual
Design, Installation, commissioning and maintenance of systems in non-domestic premises” available from the BSI, or at your local reference library. Other national regulations will also give similar guidance. This manual explains, in a step-by-step manner, the procedure for the basic design and installation of the Simplicity Plus Range of Fire Alarm Control Panels. -
Page 9: Designing A System
5.1 DESIGNING A SIMPLICITY SYSTEM Designing a Simplicity Plus System is a fairly straightforward matter. It just takes a bit of thought to zone allocation during the system design stage. We believe that the default configuration of 16 devices per zone (for Simplicity Plus 64 & 126), and common alarm operation are suitable for most applications. -
Page 10: Installing The System
On the Simplicity Panel the general recommendation would be to use standard fire resistant cable, such as Zeta Alarm Systems Fire Defence Cable, Firetuff™ , FP200 or any equivalent. These cables are screened, and will provide good EMC shielding when properly grounded at the panel. -
Page 11: First Fix
SIMPLICITY PLUS INSTALLATION MANUAL 6.2 FIRST FIX 6.2.1 MOUNTING THE FIRE ALARM PANEL The Simplicity comes with many cable entry holes. If another entry hole is required, it is strongly recommended that the panels door be removed to avoid accidental damage. Also, the termination and Power Supply PCBs should be removed and stored in a safe place. -

SIMPLICITY PLUS INSTALLATION MANUAL 6.2.4 CONNECTING THE MAINS POWER Figure 3: Power Supply PCB layout and Mains connection details The panel should be connected to 230V AC by a 3A rated spur to the fuse box with 1mm2 to 2.5mm2 3-core cable. -
Page 13: Connecting The Batteries
SIMPLICITY PLUS INSTALLATION MANUAL 6.2.5 CONNECTING THE BATTERIES Figure 4: Battery location and connection details Although there are many sizes of suitable battery, the sizes we usually recommend for the SIMPLICITY are 12V 7Ah or 12V 12 Ah, depending on the load. -
Page 14: Addressable Loop Wiring
DEVICES CAN BE CONNECTED TO THE LOOP WHEN POWERED BY THE SIMPLICITY 64 PANEL, AND 126 DEVICES WHEN POWERED BY THE SIMPLICITY 126 PANEL. The Simplicity Plus 252 panel can connect to one or two loops. A MAXIMUM OF 126 DEVICES CAN BE CONNECTED TO EACH OF THE TWO LOOPS. We recommend that the first and last devices on a loop have isolator bases fitted. -
Page 15: Specific Device Wiring Instructions
7.1 SPECIFIC DEVICE WIRING INSTRUCTIONS All products will come with their own wiring instructions. This should be used when connecting a product. But as a general guideline, here are the connection details of most Zeta Addressable products. 7.1.1 CP3/AD Manual Call Point The CP3/AD call point has a built in isolator which can be wired in circuit or not used. -

Page 17: Zazm - Mi Conventional Zone Module
SIMPLICITY PLUS INSTALLATION MANUAL 7.1.6 ZAZM – MI Conventional Zone Module The ZAZM powers the conventional zone from the addressable systems loop, so no external power supply is required. The EOL for the zone is 6.2KΩ. 7.1.7 Xtratone Sounder/Sounder Flasher The Xtratone sounder or sounder flasher is a wall mount sounder. -

Page 19: Address - Zone Table
SIMPLICITY PLUS INSTALLATION MANUAL 7.4 ADDRESS - ZONE TABLE On the Simplicity 64 and 126, each available address corresponds to a zone, with 1-16 being in zone 1 by default, 17-32 being in zone 2 by default, 33-48 in zone 3 by default etc. On the Simplicity 252, by default addresses 1-32 are in zone 1, 33-64 in zone 2 etc. -
Page 20: Sounders
8.4 ADDRESSABLE SOUNDER CIRCUIT CONTROLLER If conventional sounders or bells need to be fitted, then a sounder circuit controller can be used (Zeta Addressable Sounder Circuit Controller Unit). It will need to be separately powered. In operation, it will behave the same as an addressable sounder 8.5 COMPARISON OF SOUNDER TYPES... -
Page 21: Sounder Start & Stop Times
SIMPLICITY PLUS INSTALLATION MANUAL 8.6 SOUNDER START & STOP TIMES On a Fyreye MKII system, sounders are normally started with a group start command, so the panel will start all sounders together. When using Sandwich sounder in detector triggered mode, the panel will start all sounders instantly using the group start command. -
Page 22: Auxiliary Inputs & Outputs
SIMPLICITY PLUS INSTALLATION MANUAL 9. AUXILIARY INPUTS & OUTPUTS 9.1 AUXILIARY INPUT WIRING EXAMPLES There is one non-latching auxiliary input connection on the Fire Alarm Panel. Class Change Input (CC): This will energise all alarm outputs continuously when the CC terminals are shorted together. -

SIMPLICITY PLUS INSTALLATION MANUAL 10. FIELD DEVICE TERMINATION 10.1 TERMINATING THE WIRING Figure 6: Cable connections All cables entering the enclosure should have cable glands, which will prevent unwanted openings in the enclosure. The Addressable Loop circuits should be connected to the appropriate connector block on the Termination PCB. -
Page 24: Other Connections
11.2 SERIAL PRINTER CONNECTION The Simplicity has an RS232 Serial output that transmits panel events as they occur. It can connect to the Zeta TCP/IP Interface (Ask distributor for more details), or a serial printer. The recommended printer is an Epson LQ300 II+. The serial port on the Simplicity is configured to this printer’s default settings. -

Page 27: Changing A Zone Boundary
001 – 010 ENTER to Change The Simplicity Plus COULD use all addresses in a single zone, but it is good practice to limit a zone to 32 or less detectors (to avoid an unacceptably large zone search area). The minimum number of addresses per zone is 2. -

When a detector or manual call point is triggered on any zone in Test, the Device will light its LED, When the smoke has cleared, or the call point has been reset, the LED will turn out. -
Page 41: General Fault Finding
On the reduced loop Simplicity panels ( i.e. Simplicity Micro & Simplicity Plus 64), it is possible to address a detector out of the panels range (e.g. a Simplicity Plus 64 would not read a detector set to address 65, but it will now report a device out of its address range to help identify this problem) If the panel reports any double addresses present, investigate these first as they are the easiest to find. -
