Simplicity 64 & Simplicity 126 INSTALLATION MANUAL. 1.SIMPLICITY OVERVIEW The Simplicity is a 1-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. They have been designed to give the advantages of an addressable system, with the “simplicity” of a conventional system.

Simplicity 64 & Simplicity 126 INSTALLATION MANUAL. 3.INTRODUCTION THIS FIRE ALARM CONTROL PANEL IS CLASS 1 EQUIPMENT AND MUST BE EARTHED This equipment must be installed and maintained by a qualified and technically experienced person. 3.1 HANDLING THE PCBS If the PCBs are to be removed to ease fitting the enclosure and cables, care must be taken to avoid damage by static. The best method is to wear an earth strap, but touching any earth point (eg building plumbing) will help to discharge any static.
Simplicity 64 & Simplicity 126 INSTALLATION MANUAL. 4. FIRST FIX All wiring must be installed to meet BS5839: Pt1: 2002 and BS 7671 (Wiring Regs) standards. Other National standards of fire alarm system installation should be adhered to where applicable. 4.1 RECOMMENDED CABLE TYPES AND THEIR LIMITATIONS Screened cables should be used throughout the installation to help shield the Panel from outside interference and ensure EMC compatibility.
Simplicity 64 & Simplicity 126 INSTALLATION MANUAL. 4.3 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.

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.
Simplicity 64 & Simplicity 126 INSTALLATION MANUAL. 5. MOUNTING THE FIRE ALARM PANEL It is recommended that the panels door be removed to avoid accidental damage. Also, the termination PCB could be removed and stored in a safe place, while fixing the back box to the wall. 5.1 PLANNING CABLE ENTRY Fig.2 below shows the location of the cable entries to facilitate planning of wiring (home runs) to be brought to the panel. The grommets can be easily removed by a push from inside the control panel box.
Simplicity 64 & Simplicity 126 INSTALLATION MANUAL. 6 CONNECTING MAINS & BATTERY POWER 6.1 CONNECTING THE MAINS POWER INLET MAINS SUPPLY The panel should be connected to 220-240V AC by a 3A rated spur to the fuse box with 1mm2 to 2.5mm2 3-core cable. Nothing else should be connected to this supply. IT SHOULD NOT BE CONNECTED TO AN RCD BREAKER. The Live, Earth and Neutral connections are marked on the PCB. The Mains is protected by a quick blow 20mm 2A HBC fuse.

Simplicity 64 & Simplicity 126 INSTALLATION MANUAL. 8. DESIGNING THE SYSTEM & CONFIGURING THE FACP Configuring the Simplicity 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 64 & Simplicity 126 INSTALLATION MANUAL. 7. To check that the panel has read all the devices on loop 1, select option 1 Lp1 Dev. If the loop contents are as expected, go to point 8, otherwise go to Loop Contents Fault Finding on page 16. CO I/O ZMU HET 00SCC 01ION 00OPT 03BGU 14Loop 1 00DAD 00 45Cancel 05= Exit 8.

Simplicity 64 & Simplicity 126 INSTALLATION MANUAL. 8.1 LOOP CONTENTS FAULT FINDING If the loop contents are different to what was expected, then there may be some wrong connections to devices (they are polarity sensitive), or double addresses on the loop. (A double address is when 2 or more devices have been set to the same address, so they both answer at the same time.

Simplicity 64 & Simplicity 126 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.
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.
Simplicity 64 & Simplicity 126 INSTALLATION MANUAL. 11. GENERAL FAULT FINDING 11.1 COMMON FAULT. This is a general indicator which lights whenever a fault is present. It doesn’t refer to a specific fault. 11.2 ZONE FAULTS There are several reasons for the zone fault LED to light. 1. There is a break, or short circuit to devices in that zone, 2. A device has been removed from that zone 3. A device in that zone is communicating a fault condition to the panel with its analogue value.
Simplicity 64 & Simplicity 126 INSTALLATION MANUAL. 11.4 EARTH FAULTS An EARTH fault indicates that something is shorting to earth (usually through the cable screen). Disconnect the earth screens one at a time to determine the problem line. *** FAULT *** Earth Fault (Note: connecting other equipment , eg an oscilloscope , to the panel can give an earth fault) The voltage between battery –Ve and earth should be 14-16 volts. If it is not, the voltage should indicate what is shorting to earth.
Simplicity 64 & Simplicity 126 INSTALLATION MANUAL. 11.9 LOOP WIRING FAULTS A loop fault can be caused by a break, or short circuit in the Loop wiring. Open the panel and look for the 2 green LEDs on the termination PCB. Under normal conditions these should be all lit steady. The LEDs represent Loop1 Side A, Loop 1 side B. *** FAULT *** Loop Fault Exists If both loop LEDs for either loop are off, then this indicates that there is a short on the loop that the isolators couldn’t bypass.

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.
