VIEWING DEVICE STATUS 

 
On the Simplicity, all loop devices can be viewed from Configuration Menu 1, or viewed & edited from 
Configuration Menu 2. 
 
Enter configuration menu 2 as described above, and select option 5  
(Edit Device) 
The following screen is shown 
 
 
The screen is divided into the following sections:- 
 

Configured Device Type 

This shows the Device that was at this address during  
the last loop configuration. 
There are 8 possibilities for this:- 
Optical, Ion, Heat, Call-Pt, Sounder, I/O Unit,  
Zone Mon or CO 
 

Analogue Value 

This shows the analogue value that the device is sending 
To the panel. For detectors, this value is usually about 25 
for clean air, and 55 during alarm. Non analogue devices 
such as call points and I/O units have a normal value of 16,  
and an alarm value of 64. They will return a value of less  
than 8 to report a fault condition. 

 
Device Status

 

This is the current status of the device. It will show one of  
the following values:- 
Normal, Fault, Alarm or Prealarm 
 

Fault Description 

If the device is in a fault condition, a description of the  
fault will appear here. It will show one of the following 
messages:-
