  • Page 20: Sounders

    www.acornfiresecurity.com SIMPLICITY PLUS INSTALLATION MANUAL 8. SOUNDERS The Simplicity panel does not have any conventional sounder circuits on board. The idea of the simplicity is to connect everything to one circuit, so it only uses addressable sounders. There are several types of addressable sounder that can be used on the simplicity, all with advantages & disadvantages. Choose the sounder type that is most suitable for the intended application.
  • Page 21: Sounder Start & Stop Times
