Page 6: First Fix Guidelines
(Note that all cables should be at least 1mm cross section On the Simplicity Panel the general recommendation would be to use standard fire resistant cable, such as Firetuff™ , FP200 or an equivalent. These cables are screened, and will provide good ECM shielding when properly grounded at the panel. -
Page 7: Addressable Loop Wiring Diagram
The SIMPLICITY comes with one addressable loop. Addressable detectors, addressable call points, addressable loop powered sounders and several other interface units can be connected to this loop. A maximum of 126 devices can be connected to each loop. (64 for Simplicity 64) Side A +ve... -

Page 10: Auxiliary Input Wiring Examples
Simplicity 64 Simplicity 126 & INSTALLATION MANUAL. 4.5 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. (This includes the addressable sounders, sounder bases. The auxiliary fire relay driver is NOT activated by the Class Change input.) -

Page 18: Zone Disablement
& INSTALLATION MANUAL. 9. ZONE DISABLEMENT The Simplicity fire alarm panels are designed to operate as zone based panels. You can therefore only disable a whole zone. It is not possible to disable individual devices. 9.1 WHY USE ZONE DISABLEMENT To aid commissioning and assist routine maintenance checks, any of the zones or loop sounders can be disabled. -
Page 19: Test Mode
Simplicity 64 Simplicity 126 & INSTALLATION MANUAL. 10. TEST MODE 10.1 WHY USE TEST MODE To aid commissioning and assist routine maintenance check, a non-latching ‘one man test’ facility is available. When a detector or manual call point is triggered on any zone in Test, the Alarm sounders operate for approximately eight seconds on and four seconds off. -

Page 25: Wiring Recommendations
Simplicity 64 Simplicity 126 & INSTALLATION MANUAL. 13. WIRING RECOMMENDATIONS With an addressable system, some care must be taken when calculating the appropriate cable gauge for the system. The main limitation is that during an alarm condition (maximum current draw), the voltage at all detectors must be at least 17 Volts with at least 5V of superimposed data signal. -
