SIMPLICITY PLUS INSTALLATION MANUAL. Software Version :PANEL-R1578 & LOOP-R1062 3. DESIGNING THE SYSTEM Designing a Simplicity System is a fairly straightforward matter. It just takes a bit of thought to zone allocation during the system design stage. 1. Decide on the zone allocation for the system. Each zone can have a maximum of 16 devices fitted. Consider the simplified 3-storey building below.
SIMPLICITY PLUS INSTALLATION MANUAL. Software Version :PANEL-R1578 & LOOP-R1062 4. FIRST FIX 4.1 Mounting the Control Panel The control panel should be installed in accordance with the following recommendations:- • The panel should be close to the main entrance of the building, so that it can be viewed by any fire- fighting personnel entering the building.
SIMPLICITY PLUS INSTALLATION MANUAL. Software Version :PANEL-R1578 & LOOP-R1062 5. 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 PCB should be removed and stored in a safe place.

On the Simplicity, addressable sounders (the ones that take a loop address) will always start quicker than associated sounders (ones that do not take an address. If sounder start time is an issue, choose an addressable type sounder.
