Page 7: Panel Description & Design Concept
SIMPLICITY PLUS INSTALLATION MANUAL 3.2 PANEL DESCRIPTION & DESIGN CONCEPT The Simplicity Plus is a one or two loop analogue addressable fire alarm control panel designed to EN54 part 2 & 4. It is available in three versions. Simplicity 64 allows 64 devices to be connected to one loop, and divided into 4 zones. Simplicity Plus 126 allows 126 devices to be connected to one loop, and divided into 8 zones. -
Page 8: Using This Manual
SIMPLICITY PLUS INSTALLATION MANUAL 4. USING THIS MANUAL It is beyond the scope of this manual to teach the user all the intricacies of fire alarm system design. If in doubt about what is required, read BS 5839: Pt 1: 2013 “Fire Detection and Alarm Systems for buildings - Part 1: Code of Practice for Design, Installation, commissioning and maintenance of systems in non-domestic premises”... -
Page 9: Designing A System
Designing a Simplicity Plus System is a fairly straightforward matter. It just takes a bit of thought to zone allocation during the system design stage. We believe that the default configuration of 16 devices per zone (for Simplicity Plus 64 & 126), and common alarm operation are suitable for most applications. -
Page 10: Installing The System
SIMPLICITY PLUS INSTALLATION MANUAL 6. INSTALLING THE SYSTEM 6.1 CONSIDERATIONS BEFORE INSTALLATION 6.1.1 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. -
Page 11: First Fix
SIMPLICITY PLUS INSTALLATION MANUAL 6.2 FIRST FIX 6.2.1 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 and Power Supply PCBs should be removed and stored in a safe place. -
Page 12: Connecting The Mains Power
SIMPLICITY PLUS INSTALLATION MANUAL 6.2.4 CONNECTING THE MAINS POWER Figure 3: Power Supply PCB layout and Mains connection details The panel should be connected to 230V 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. -
Page 13: Connecting The Batteries
SIMPLICITY PLUS INSTALLATION MANUAL 6.2.5 CONNECTING THE BATTERIES Figure 4: Battery location and connection details Although there are many sizes of suitable battery, the sizes we usually recommend for the SIMPLICITY are 12V 7Ah or 12V 12 Ah, depending on the load. To calculate the exact requirement, use the equation in section 20.1, STANDBY BATTERY CALCULATIONS The two batteries are wired in series to give 24 Volts. -
Page 14: Addressable Loop Wiring
7. ADDRESSABLE LOOP WIRING The Simplicity Plus 64 and 126 can connect to 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 64 DEVICES CAN BE CONNECTED TO THE LOOP WHEN POWERED BY THE SIMPLICITY 64 PANEL, AND 126 DEVICES WHEN POWERED BY THE SIMPLICITY 126 PANEL. -

Page 19: Address - Zone Table
SIMPLICITY PLUS INSTALLATION MANUAL 7.4 ADDRESS - ZONE TABLE On the Simplicity 64 and 126, each available address corresponds to a zone, with 1-16 being in zone 1 by default, 17-32 being in zone 2 by default, 33-48 in zone 3 by default etc. On the Simplicity 252, by default addresses 1-32 are in zone 1, 33-64 in zone 2 etc. -
Page 20: Sounders
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
SIMPLICITY PLUS INSTALLATION MANUAL 8.6 SOUNDER START & STOP TIMES On a Fyreye MKII system, sounders are normally started with a group start command, so the panel will start all sounders together. When using Sandwich sounder in detector triggered mode, the panel will start all sounders instantly using the group start command. -

FIELD DEVICE TERMINATION 10.1 TERMINATING THE WIRING Figure 6: Cable connections All cables entering the enclosure should have cable glands, which will prevent unwanted openings in the enclosure. The Addressable Loop circuits should be connected to the appropriate connector block on the Termination PCB. All cable screens should be terminated at the brass earthing strip as shown in Figure 6 . -

Page 40: Test Mode
SIMPLICITY PLUS INSTALLATION MANUAL 18. TEST MODE 18.1 WHY USE TEST MODE To aid commissioning and assist routine maintenance check, a silent, non-latching test facility is available. When a detector or manual call point is triggered on any zone in Test, the Device will light its LED, When the smoke has cleared, or the call point has been reset, the LED will turn out. -
Page 41: General Fault Finding
On the reduced loop Simplicity panels ( i.e. Simplicity Micro & Simplicity Plus 64), it is possible to address a detector out of the panels range (e.g. a Simplicity Plus 64 would not read a detector set to address 65, but it will now report a device out of its address range to help identify this problem) If the panel reports any double addresses present, investigate these first as they are the easiest to find. -
Page 42: Earth Faults
SIMPLICITY PLUS INSTALLATION MANUAL Earth fault (Earth fault is generally disabled on the PSU because the earth fault is monitored by panel) 19.5 EARTH FAULTS FAULT An EARTH fault indicates that something is shorting to earth (usually through the cable screen). 1 of 1 Disconnect the earth screens one at a time to determine the problem line. - Page 43 SIMPLICITY PLUS INSTALLATION MANUAL side B, and Loop2 Side A and Loop 2 side B. If both loop LEDs for a loop are off, then this indicates that there is a short on the loop that the isolators couldn’t bypass. (Check that the isolators are enabled, and aren’t set for a cable continuity check).
