Overview
Note: The control panels described in this manual have been designed and developed to the highest
standards of quality, reliability and performance. All product components are capable to
application requirements and able to operate in compliance with the related technical
specifications when the temperature external to their casing complies with Category 3k5 of IEC
721-3-3.
Danger: The GAS control function is not EN54-2 compliant, as this feature is not mentioned in
the aforesaid standard.
Danger: In order to validate the IMQ-SISTEMI DI SICUREZZA certification, and in compliance
with EN54-2 regulations, all the manual alarm buttons and fire detectors employed in
the system must be associated with fire detection and alarm functions.
1.1 Application and use
The SmartLoop analogue-addressable fire alarm panel manages up to eight loops. The SmartLoop is
capable of working in a network environment (maximum configuration 30 nodes arranged in a token
ring). The loops accommodate different types of fire-security devices (detectors, input and output
modules, callpoints, fire bells, etc.). The maximum loop wire length is 2000 m.
The SmartLoop also provides supervised outputs which guarantee full control of peripheal device
functions (e.g. fire bells). The panel identifies and signals alarm, pre-alarm, fault, early warning,
bypassed zone, test and monitoring conditions. The system status is indicated on the display and on
the system status LEDs. The SmartLoop panel supports up to 8 Repeater panels (accessory items)
which replicate system data and allow building occupants with Level 2 authorization to silence and
reset the system. The panel can also be connected to a PC or printer.
The self-addressing feature and reduced-complexity point programming allow fast and easy
installation.
