12.1.3 REDUCED LOOP SIMPLICITY PANELS
For the reduced loop capacity Simplicity panels (EG Simplicity Micro, or Simplicity Plus 64), it is
possible to address a device outside the panels range. Previous versions of simplicity panel
would expect the user to find this problem by checking the device contents screen, and
comparing to system drawings, but this latest version will warn that there are devices outside
the panels address range, and help identify them.

12.2 VERIFYING THE LOOP CONFIGURATION
1. Go to Configuration menu 1 (either Press PREVIOUS button, from Menu 2, or press ENTER
from System normal screen.
2. Press button 1 to view the loop contents. It lists the number of each type of device, the
number of Double Addresses (DAD) on the system, the loop number (Loop 1 only), and the total
number of devices on that loop. Check that the number of devices seen compares to the number
expected. If it is different, refer to the fault finding guide.

3. The panel is now configured, and will function as a basic system, (press Cancel until screen
shows system normal to run the panel), but it is more useful to enter device labels, to give a
more precise location of an alarm device. We recommend that the device labels be entered to
allow the panel to be more user friendly during normal operation.
