- Who has the Simplicity been designed for?
-
- Users who looking for a cost effective addressable fire alarm system
- Users who currently install 2 wire or conventional systems but would like to offer an addressable alternative which is simple to install and commission
- Does the Simplicity Micro have an open protocol?
-
No, it has a closed protocol and is only compatible with Zeta devices.
- How are the devices addressed?
-
Addressing devices is done mechanically via a dip switch on the back of each device.
- How many addresses does the Simplicity Micro support?
-
The Simplicity Micro can handle a total of 32 devices. However, should you require a system capable of handling more then we also offer the Simplicity 64 (up to 64 devices) and the Simplicity 128 (up to 128 devices).
- When installing the Simplicity Micro, do I have to return the loop to the panel?
-
No, the system will work with return loop or not. However, if an open ended loop is used, any open circuit would loose all of the devices beyond the open circuit, whilst with a returned loop, no devices are lost.
- Do you need any specialist tools for commissioning?
-
No special tools are required, refer to the manual which shows how commissioning can be done in three simple steps.
- Can the Simplicity Micro be installed flush with the wall and if so does it need extra peripheral items?
-
The Simplicity Micro enclosure is designed for both surface and semi-flush installation. Therefore there is not need for any bezels or extra parts.
- Looking at System 1 & System 2, one with sounder bases and one with sounder/flasher bases, can I mix those two together?
-
Yes, sounder bases and sounder/flasher bases can be mixed wherever is required.
- Can I add on a standalone sounder or sounder/flash?
-
Of course, this can be added, please refer to the our Maxitone sounders & sounder/flahser.
- Can I add interface modules and if so what types are available?
-
Yes, these can be added. There are two available modules, an input/output module (ZIOU) and an input/output module with 230V relay (ZIO/30). For any special application there are further modules, please contact to discuss.
- Can I add a detector without a sounder or sounder/flasher base?
-
Yes, in this case addressable detectors with a standard base must be used.
