Configuring and programming the control panel
The SmartLoop control panels accept different configuration and programming methods, which can be
combined to suit particular installation requirements.
6.1 From panel
If you are working on a particularly difficult installation with console equipped control panels (i.e.
control panels with keypads and displays), you can install the system (control panel, attachment
boards, loop devices, etc.), then request “AUTO Configuration” and assign addresses to the loop
devices automatically. Once this phase has been completed, you can upload the data to your
computer and use it for the programming phase, or proceed with the programming from the control
panel.
If you are obliged to address the loop devices manually, you can enroll them and complete the
configuration and programming phases from the control panel or your computer.
Note:
If you request “AUTO Configuration”, the peripheral devices will be enrolled automatically,
however, manually addressed devices must be enrolled at the control panel.
6.2 From computer
If you prefer to plan the layout of the system beforehand, or if you are working with control panels
that are not equipped with keypads and displays, you can prepare the system layout and/or set
parameters without leaving your office. The data can be downloaded to the system later.
6.3 From remote computer
If you are working on a console equipped control panel (i.e. control panel with keypad and display)
from a remote location (for monitoring or software maintenance purposes), you can set up the control
panel for programming, connect to Internet and, using a password-protected virtual control panel
carry out the necessary operations.
These are just a few simple examples, your knowledge combined with the flexibility provided by the
SmartLoop system will allow you to deal with the most challenging installations with ease.
Note:
The followings functions cannot be accessed via computer: Reset factory default data,
configuration and addressing operations.
Some programming functions are not accessible via the control panel.
Therefore, it is advisable to program the entire system via computer, and use the control panel
for minor changes only.
