The basic concepts of control panel programming
Programming manual
Depending on the programmed activation type of a device, it is possible to activate or ignore specific zone
signals.
• A device with “Alarm” activation type can activate the following signals: Pre-alarm, Arm, Evacuate,
Extinction, Fire door holders, Sprinkler On, Voice Alarm.
• A device with “Monitoring” activation type can activate Monitor signals.
• A device with “Supervisory” activation type can activate Supervisory signals.
• A device with “Silent” activation type can activate the following signals: Stop extinction, Fire door
holders, Change class, Voice Alarm.
Devices can also activate Fault and Early Warning signals.
7.3
The signals
Each device can be programmed to various zone and control panel signals in accordance with its own status
(e.g. fault, pre-alarm, etc.). In turn, these signals can be used to activate the respective outputs of each
zone.
The signals which can be activated depend on the activation type of the device concerned.
Following are the signals relating to the control panel and various zones which can be activated by the
devices. These signals are restricted by the zone parameters (e.g. Activate fire doors in the event of pre-
alarm, etc.), by “cause/effect” actions activate or inhibit these signals and by zone interaction
.
Alarm
Signal used for alarm signaling. Activated by alarm points belonging to the zone.
Double knock
Zone signal which occurs when at least two devices belonging to the zone
concerned go into alarm status.
Evacuate
Signal for second-alarm-level management (an alarm confirmed by a manual
operation or after the expiry of a delay).
Extinction
Signal to be used for the activation of the fire-extinguishing system.
Stop extinction
Activation of this signal will interrupt the countdown of the delay which precedes
activation of the fire-extinction system of the zone concerned. Any device which
activates this signal will block the respective zone extinction signal (whether
already active or about to activate).
Fire door holder
This signal can be used to command the outputs which control the fire doors
holders. It will be generated either in accordance with the zone settings (Activate
fire door holders in the event of ...) or after a direct activation command (from
devices, etc.).
Pre-alarm
This signal activates during the pre-alarm time of one or more of the zone
detectors. It can be used to activate specific warning signals to alert Security
personnel.
Sprinkler On
This signal activates when at least one of the zone devices, capable of generating
the “Sprinkler On” signal, activates (e.g. Flow detector in sprinkler-system
pipes). This signal allows the system to handle separately an alarm triggered by
the activation of a sprinkler.
Early Warning
This signal activates when at least one of the zone devices, capable of generating
the “Early Warning ” signal, exceeds the early warning threshold. This signal
allows the system to activate signaling in response to an anomalous rise in the
values of some detectors.
Fault
This signal activates when one or more devices belonging to the zone signals
fault status.
Supervisory
This signal (activated by devices belonging to zones with this attribute) allows
the system to manage fault signals related to a components of the fire-
prevention system but extraneous to the SmartLoop system (e.g. This signal can
be used to control the sprinkler pipe valve, etc.).
Monitoring
This signal (activated by devices belonging to zones with this attribute) allows
the system to manage functions which are not related the fire-detection system
such as building automation functions (e.g. “Cold room door open” output signal,
etc.).
