1.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.
1.1 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. Hold PCBs by their sides, avoiding contact with any components.
Always handle PCBs by their sides and avoid touching the legs of any components. Keep the PCBs away from
damp dirty areas, e.g. in a small cardboard box.
1.2 USING THIS MANUAL
This manual explains, in a step-by-step manner, the procedure for the installation of the
Simplicity Plus
Range
of Fire Alarm Control Panels. For full operational and maintenance information, please refer to document
GLT.MAN-108 (USER MANUAL, MAINTENANCE GUIDE & LOG BOOK). It also contains a System set-up
table, and Installation Certificate, that must be completed by the Commissioning Engineer prior to system
handover.
Unlike the User Manual, this Installation Manual must not be left accessible to the User.
1.3 ABOUT THE SIMPLICITY FIRE ALARM PANEL & INTEGRAL PSE
1.4 DESIGNING THE SYSTEM
This manual is not designed to teach Fire Alarm System design. It is assumed that the System has been
designed by a competent person, and that the installer has an understanding of Fire Alarm System components
and their use.
We strongly recommend consultation with a suitably qualified, competent person regarding the design of the Fire
Alarm System. The System must be commissioned and serviced in accordance with our instructions and the
relevant National Standards. Contact the Fire Officer concerned with the property at an early stage in case he
has any special requirements.
If in doubt, read BS 5839: Pt 1: 2002 “Fire Detection and Alarm Systems for buildings (Code of Practice for
System Design, Installation, commissioning and maintenance)” available from the BSI, or at your local reference
library.
1.5 EQUIPMENT GUARANTEE
If this equipment is not fitted and commissioned according to our guidelines, and the relevant National

allows user to select appropriate relay for their
application.
•
It has a set of terminals to drive a 24V fault relay-
allows user to select appropriate relay for their
application. This output is normally powered to
allow a fault signal in the case of total power failure.
•
It has a class change connection to allow remote
activation of the sounders. (not required by EN54-
2)
•

o
C
•
It will operate in a relative humidity of up to 93%
(non condensing)
•
It will withstand vibrations between 5 & 150 Hz
•
It has a maximum capacity of 16 devices per
zone
•
The PSE is linear, with a 1.5A output at system
voltage (18-32V)
•
The mains supply is filtered before entering the
transformer.
•
The charger & battery are both fused at 1.6
(time delay)
•
The PSE will draw a maximum of 25uA from the
battery in the event of mains failure. (the FACP
will continue to take around 60mA)
•
The FACP & PSE should be maintained as
described in section 3 of the User Manual,
