The sub-menu that is displayed shows the level of current, in milliamps, that the Interface
uses to respond to commands from a Control Panel.

The Nominal level is the one that is usually used and corresponds to the typical value of real
devices. The Minimum and Maximum levels are the limits of the ESP (Enhanced Systems
Protocol) specification and can be used to test Control Panel compliance. The Double
Address level is used to emulate two identical devices set to the same address.

Setting Devices as 'Missing'

Click on the Missing button (blue arrow). Now use this to click on address position 72.
Note that the picture of the device now has a grey background and a blue line through it.

This device is now ‘Missing’. It does not respond to commands from a Control Panel. This
emulates a ‘sensor-removed’ condition.

Click on the address position again and see that the device returns. At this point, the device
has its ‘power-on’ flag set and requires the Control Panel to re-initialise the device.

Open Circuits

Right-click on address position 71 and select the Create Open Circuit before
address 71

menu item. A vertical yellow bar is displayed between address positions 70

and 71 to indicate that an open circuit is being emulated here.

Right-click on address position 73 and select the Create Open Circuit after
address 73

menu item. A vertical yellow bar is displayed between address positions 73

and 74 to indicate an open circuit is being emulated here.

Note that the device at address 72 is now shown as ‘Missing’. This is because there is an
open circuit either side of it; thus, it cannot be reached by a Control Panel.

Try using the Missing mouse tool to set the device to ‘Not Missing’. It is not allowed because
the open circuit conditions are still present.

Right-click on address 73 and select the Remove Open Circuit after address 73
menu item. Note that the device has now returned.
