Introduction
About the Smart Connect Multi-loop Fire Alarm System
The Smart Connect Multi-loop Control Panel is a powerful intelligent fire alarm control system with a user friendly 4.3 inch touch
screen display, which has been designed to provide reliable life safety and property protection, while also being easy to install,
commission and operate. The Smart Connect Multi-loop system is totally modular which enables it to satisfy any size building fire alarm
needs.
By adding intelligent loop modules, the Smart Connect Multi-loop can be upgraded to support up to 3000 addressable devices spread
across a flexible number of loop cards (maximum of twelve loop cards). The system can also be expanded by adding Form C relay
output modules, network interface modules, alarm circuit modules, and zone monitor modules for conventional detectors and devices.
The Smart Connect Multi-loop
system’s touchscreen interface is designed to m
ake status information clear, and system control
functions simple to operate. Through the use of function buttons on the systems display
the user can easily “
SILENCE BUZZER
”, “
STOP
SOUNDERS
” or “
START SOUNDERS
”, or “
RESET
” the system. The system status presentation is structured
to allow the different types of
system events (Alarms, technical alarms, and faults) to be viewed independently. Each system event presents the user with a message
describing the location of the alarm report and the type of event (manual alarm, smoke, or heat). If additional details about the nature
of the alarm report or its location are required, the user can add a text label to the device or zone.
The 32-bit microcontroller (MCU) at the heart of Smart Connect Multi-loop rapidly processes logical decisions based on the status of
the smoke detection and other initiating devices to control the system outputs. The Windows based software
‘Smart Configurator’
is
used to configure the system’s operation based on the customer specified operating requirements
, and reduce
commissioning/installation times.
The Smart Connect Multi-loop system continuously checks all software and hardware for proper operation. It checks all control panel
electronic hardware, system memory components, and the system program. A hardware watchdog circuit is provided to ensure that
System programs are functioning properly. If a problem develops with the program or processor, the watchdog circuit places the
System into a fault condition and resets it.
The Smart Connect Multi-loop system is equipped with a backup microprocessor on its termination board. To ensure reliable
operation, if the
main panel’s CPU
stops, the backup CPU will take over and allow the system to still be able to detect and annunciate
alarms.
The fire alarm operation is always processed as the highest priority over all other operating modes.
