18.1 How to program loop devices
FROM COMPUTER
Go to SmartLoop System, Control panel x, Loop y, Device z, System Programming
If you want the device to generate Alarm, Monitor and Supervisory events or to remain mute, you
must assign the required features in the Activation Type field. If you want the activation signal of
the device (as input) to activate signals on zones or activate groups, you must go to the Control panel
(as input) section and set up the zone or group signals that will activate the device output, you must
operate on the lower part of the template (as output).
Attention:
Consult the local laws in force for any restrictions regarding the "definition of zones"
(dimensions and installation).
Note:
If ypu wish to add a new device to an already configured loop, simply drag and drop it to the
structure, then assign the device address (provided by the software application).
18.1.1 Activation Type
The devices connected to the loop can be digital or analogue devices. A device will activate if its
“input” goes from OFF to ON status or if its values exceed the programmed Alarm threshold.
Device activation can be signaled at different levels of an event, in accordance with its tasks.
Note:
The activation type determines which signals the device (as input) can activate in relation to the
zone. In the event of activation of an output device or group, the activation type determines the
signals available for this type of activation.
Alarm
The device will be used for Alarm signaling purposes. In the event of activation, an
“Alarm” event will appear on the system displays and all the alarm signaling devices will
be activated.
Monitoring
The device will be used for control purposes only, and will be free of any functions
strictly connected with fire detection or signaling. In the event of activation, a “Monitor”
event will appear on the displays of consoles that are enabled to indicate this type of
event.
Supervisory
The device will be used to supervise the efficiency of a component of the fire alarm
system (for example, a flow detector on the Sprinkler system valve).
If this event occurs, a “Supervisory” event will appear on the display and the control
panel fault signals will activate.
Silence mode
The device will be used for generic control purposes, and will not be strictly connected
with fire detection or signaling. In the event of activation, no signals will be generated on
the display or LEDs, and only the programmed activations will be implemented (zone
signals, groups, control panel signals, etc.).
