7 ADDRESSABLE LOOP WIRING
The Simplicity comes with one addressable loop. Addressable detectors, addressable call points, addressable loop powered
sounders and several other interface units can be connected to these loops. A MAXIMUM OF 126 DEVICES CAN BE
CONNECTED TO THE LOOP. We recommend that the first and last devices on a loop have isolator bases fitted. Also the last
device on each zone should have an isolator fitted. This is to prevent a short circuit fault in one zone effecting another zone.

Sounder
A maximum of 32 loop-powered addressable sounders or sounder bases are permitted on the loop. On the Simplicity Panel, all
Sounder Bases are always configured as common sounders.
Short circuit isolators should be used to prevent loosing the whole loop in the event of a single short circuit fault. They should be
fitted to each zone boundary, such that any short circuit will only affect the devices in 1 zone.
The termination of each wiring circuit must be as indicated on the main PCB (See page 31). The Earthing of the cable screens
should be as shown on page 17
Pre-Commissioning Cable Checks
1. +ve in to +ve out less than 24 ohms
2. -ve in to -ve out less than 24 ohms (may need to temporarily disable isolators to measure)
3. +ve to –ve greater than 500k ohm
4. +ve to Earth greater than 1M ohm.
5. -ve to Earth greater than 1M ohm.
6. +ve to –ve less than 50 mV pickup (on AC & DC scales)
Note that some Devices
(for example, a sounder
controller circuit) may
require a separate 24
volt supply to operate.
