TrueSTART II Introduction

The Simplex TrueSTART II Instrument (TSIT) is a portable, handheld 
instrument for verification of the correct installation of Simplex peripherals 
and wiring to Simplex circuits and modules.

The TSIT is used to verify wiring, addressable devices, conventional zones 
(IDC) and signal circuits (NAC) before the Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP) is 
commissioned.

This manual describes the steps to verify that all wiring and peripheral 
devices are correctly installed before connecting the wires to the FACP.

Power Sources

The TSIT operates from multiple power sources:

Lithium Ion Battery 

AC Adapter

Any 24V DC source (using the Auxiliary Power Harness).

Battery Operation

Remove the battery compartment by squeezing in the tabs on the sides. 

Connect a charged battery to the harness inside the tester case.

Replace the battery compartment.
