SIMPLICITY PLUS INSTALLATION MANUAL.
2. SIMPLICITY PLUS OVERVIEW
2.1 PANEL DESCRIPTION & DESIGN CONCEPT
The Simplicity Plus is a single-loop analogue addressable fire alarm control panel designed to EN54 part 2 & 4.
It is available in two versions. Simplicity 64 allows 64 devices to be connected, and divided into 4 zones.
Simplicity 126 allows 126 devices to be connected, and divided into 8 zones.
The Simplicity has been designed to only use addressable sounders (so that all devices sit on the same wiring
loop). All sounders on a Simplicity panel will activate on any alarm.
It has been designed to give the advantages of an addressable system, with the simplicity of a conventional
system. To help achieve this, the Simplicity Plus uses default values to cut out many of the programming steps
normally associated with addressable panels. It also uses its LEDs as the Primary source of information, so in
most cases, there is no reason to look at the screen, or access any menus. The screen is simply there to identify
loop device fault locations, and to help in setting up the panel.
2.2 ADVANTAGES OF AN ADDRESSABLE FIRE ALARM SYSTEM
The table below lists the main advantages of addressable systems, and how our panels use them.

While all options are programmable on our larger Premier AL panel, the Simplicity uses pre-configured settings
for most options.
Device sensitivity and pre-alarm levels are preset.
To simplify configuration, there is no zone allocation programming. Instead each loop is split into 8 zones, and
each device is assigned to a zone by the address set with its 8 way dip switch.
Address 1-16
Address 17-32
Address 33-48
Address 49-64
Address 65-80
Address 81-96
Address 97-112
Address 113-126
The loop sounder operation is always common.
This leaves only the device label to be programmed by the installer.
