12.4 CONFIGURING ASSOCIATED SOUNDERS
On the Simplicity, all detectors are treated as if they have an associated sounder base during the
initial configuration (indicated by the sounder symbol in the top right hand corner of the edit
device screen) . The panel will send the “activate base sounder” command to all address with
this sounder symbol in the event of an alarm.

If a loop contains a large number of detectors, and a small number of associated sounder bases, then the sounders might
take a long time (between 4 & 8 seconds) to start.
If this scenario exists, it is possible to speed up operation as shown below. (Note: if every detector has a sounder base, or
if most of the detectors have a sounder base this “speed up operation” will have little or no effect.
1. Press enter, NEXT, followed by 369 to enter Configuration Menu 2. Select option 5 to edit
device status. Select a detector that does NOT have a sounder base attached.
2. Press the Disablement SELECT button. The sounder symbol turns off to show that this detector
no longer has an associated sounder. (Pressing select again will continue to toggle the sounder
on & off.)

3. Repeat for all detectors that do not have an associated sounder base fitted.
If a system had say 40 detectors, but only 20 with an ASSOCIATED sounder base, configuring the sounders as shown above
should half the sounder start time.
12.5 SETTING TIME AND DATE
To set the time & date, enter Configuration Menu 2 and select Configure System (6). The System
Menu is now displayed. Select option 1 to set time & date. Enter the Day, Month, Year, Hour &
Minutes as prompted, and press enter to save, or Cancel at any time to exit.
