3 -  A  d  d  r       

3 or more  devices on the loop have been given the same address. They must 
be given different addresses 
 

C  h  a  n  g  e  d    

 

The device answering at this address has changed since the panel was configured. This 
could be because:- 

 

The system has not been configured yet. The configured type in the top left hand 
corner will show NONE. Enter the menu & configure the loop. 

 

A device has been changed (EG a smoke detector has been changed for a heat 
detector). Make sure that the new detector still gives the required coverage, then 
reconfigure the loop 

 

The device`s address has been changed, and the panel sees it at a different 
address. 

 

                

 

If the device is giving no further details of the fault, then the “device in fault” is communicating 
OK with the control Panel , but is reporting a fault that it has detected itself. EG a Securetone 
Micro detector base with the detector removed.

 

Missing Device faults 

 

If the panel is showing less devices than expected on it`s loop contents screen, then to find 
the devices which aren`t answering the panel:- 
 

 

Check that they are actually connected to the loop 

 

Check that there is voltage at the device terminals 

 

Check that they are connected with the correct polarity 

 

Check that they have a unique address set 

 

For Securetone Micro sounder bases, check that dip switch 8 is ON 

 

Check that the devices are compatible with the simplicity micro (EG, conventional 
detectors MUST be fitted to a Securetone Micro sounder base. They can`t 
connect directly to the loop) 

 

Check that Isolators are not isolating this device (usually accompanied with a 
loop break message)
