1Introduction
SmartTerminal connects to the FireFinder™ Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP) via the RS485
multidrop communication port. Generally it is designed to be used anywhere where the status of the
FACP is required to be monitored by local personnel and limited control is required.
Front panel controls that allow the resetting of alarms and activation/silencing of alarm
devices. Enabling operational access to the controls is via a key-switch;
Reports events from devices that are accessible to the host FACP. For example if the host
FACP is configured with global access then the connected SmartTerminal reports events
from all devices. If the host FACP is configured as local then the connected SmartTerminal
reports events from devices that are directly connected to the host FACP.
1.1 Operation
The operation of SmartTerminal can be considered to be in one of three states, these are;
1. Power up - when the SmartTerminal is initialising
2. Normal - when the SmartTerminal address has been set and is communicating with the
FACP, reporting normal / abnormal conditions and controlling the FACP via the front panel
controls
3. Fault where the SmartTerminal is in fault and/or is unable to communicate with the FACP.
Power Up
The LCD displays a message telling the operator SmartTerminal is being powered up and that the
hardware is being initialised. Once the hardware has been successfully initialised set the address
and SmartTerminal should automatically transition to the normal state. Should a failure occur on
power up press the “RESET” button located on the LCD PCB (see Figure 5) and check the address
is correct.
Normal
The Normal state is entered from the “Power-up” or a return from the “Fault” state and is displayed
on the LCD if the SmartTerminal is communicating with the FACP and operating correctly. In this
state the front panel Power indicator is illuminated.
Fault
SmartTerminal enters the Fault state upon;
A hardware failure
LCD module failure or
A loss of communications with the FACP (indicated by the “DIAGNOSTIC” LED – not
flashing and the “no communications“ message being displayed)
In a Fault condition the front panel NORMAL indicator is extinguished and the details of the fault are
displayed on the LCD. The FACP will also indicate a fault in a similar manner.
1.2 Access levels
There are two levels of access.
Access level 1 only the Acknowledge, previous and next front panel controls are operative. All other
controls operate in access level two.
Access level 2 is entered when the key-switch is in the ENABLED position.

2.1 Overview
SmartTerminal essentially consists of three PCBs;
1. BRD82CEB2 – FACP – Communications Extender Board. The Communications Extender
Board is mounted inside the FACP and provides the protected RS485 communications and
27VDC to the SmartTerminal Termination Board/s and LCD/s.
2. SmartTerminal Termination Board. A Termination Board is mounted in each SmartTerminal
to protect and interface the RS485 communications and 27VDC supply to the LCD Board
3. BRD82ICC2 – Control, LCD Communications and LCD Driver Board
Note:A maximum of 30 SmartTerminal’s may be connected to the communications bus over a
distance of approximately 1.2Kms

SmartTerminal Installation Commissioning & Operation
Page 6
3Operational & Key Features
SmartTerminal complies with AS4428 /NZS4512 and has been designed for use with the
FireFinder™ series of FACP’s.
4 line by 40 character LCD with backlight and navigation keys keys allow the
SmartTerminal to be used for FACP operation and interrogation. Note the backlight is only
energised when alarms are present, a key has been pressed or controls enable key switch is
enabled
Buzzer and system Reset.
System expansion capabilities / options:
A wide range of secure user functions. This includes the ability to disable / re-enable a large
number of system functions.
Flush or surface mountable enclosure.
Controls have tactile and audible feedback of operation.
All terminals cater for 2.5mm cables.
4Mechanical
SmartTerminal is supplied in an ABS cabinet and consists of;
The Main Card, with all controls and indicators mounted directly onto it
1 X Termination Board
2 X ABS door keys
2 X 003 Enable / Disable keys
2 X Jumper links
Note: A Communications Extender Board will be required if the Comms Bus in the FACP
is fully utilised and / or if one is not fitted.
The front door of the ABS version is locked by way of two clips on the right hand side of the cabinet.
A special locating key which has two raised pins that are inserted into the side of the cabinet unlocks
the door.

4.1 Mounting the Enclosure
The panel MUST be mounted in an area that is NOT subject to conditions likely to affect its
performance, e.g. damp, salt-air, water ingress, extremes of temperature, abuse etc. is at an easily
accessible height and such that the indicators are at eye level.
Typical locations for the panel are the first and most obvious point of contact for emergency services
or a security office that is likely to be permanently staffed.
4.1.1 Enclosure Details
The LCDA can be surface or semi-flush mounted, is supplied with a detachable front door,
mountable back box and a minimum of two separate PCBs.

SmartTerminal Installation Commissioning & Operation
Page 7
4.1.2 Fixing the Chassis to the Wall
Taking into account the weight of the panel securely mount it by using the three keyhole mounting
holes in the backpan, two in the top and one in the bottom. Use suitably sized screws and plugs for
the type of mounting surface.
Caution: Any dust or swarf created during the fixing process must be kept out of the cabinet and
great care should be taken not to damage any wiring or components.
4.1.3 Board Removal / Replacement
If a PCB has to be removed the following precautions should be observed;
Removing the door will provide better access to the boards and will ensure the hinges are
not accidentally stressed.
Personal anti- static procedures must be followed.
When disconnecting the RJ45 style connecting cable from the PCB, make sure that the
cable remains connected to at least one board to prevent it being misplaced.

From the Socket
Connector
Note: Care should be taken when detaching this connector as it is necessary to depress
the small locking tab to unlock the connector from its base. To reconnect the cable the connector
must first be correctly aligned then pushed into the socket so it locks into position.
Carefully remove the retaining screws at each corner of the board taking care not to damage
any of the components.
Place each board into anti- static storage once removed.
4.1.4 Removing the Knockouts
The knock-outs should be removed with a sharp tap in the rim of the knock-out using a flat broad-
bladed screwdriver. Note: Use of excessive force could damage the enclosure around the knock-out.
Note: Any unused knock-outs must be securely blanked off.

5.3 Setting the Address
Open the front door; locate the “CONFIG” button situated on the left hand side of the PCB and press
for 3 seconds. The buzzer and “Config” LED will double beep and flash respectively to indicate that
the Configuration mode has been entered. The LCD will now display the Configuration screen. This
screen consists of the code version number, current address and four adjustment markers. These
markers A-, A+, C-, and C+ are used to indicate the keys that adjust the address and LCD contrast.
Use the “PREVIOUS (A-) and NEXT” (A+) keys to select the desired address. The default value for
this address is 255 which is not a valid SmartTerminal address. The user must then select an
address value from 1 to 30, i.e. the same address as that set in the FACP. The keys corresponding
to C- (ACK) and C+ (RESET) are used in a similar manner to decrease and increase the LCD
contrast level. There is audible feedback for all key presses.
Once the address has been set press the “CONFIG” button again for 3 seconds and the screen will
return to its default and the “DIANOSTIC” LED will return to a slow flash. This slow flash indicates
SmartTerminal and the FACP are communicating normally i.e. the LED flashes if communications
data is being received from the FACP.
Note: If the address is not set within the time out period of approximately 75 seconds
SmartTerminal will return to its normal state.

change the “N” (NO not fitted) to “Y” (YES fitted) and then enter or type in a “Description”. The
description should be a name given to the SmartTerminal (LCDA) or its physical location. Double
click in each of the “Report” boxes to display and set the, “Y” (Yes reports the parameter) and “N”
(No does not report the parameter) “Alarms, Faults, Disables” parameters that SmartTerminal will
display on each SmartTerminal at each location.
Note: A maximum of 30 SmartTerminal’s can be used in the configuration of the FACP.

6.1 LCD Screen Format
There are 3 events that can be reported and displayed by SmartTerminal. The types of event are;
Alarm
Faults and
Isolates.
The types of events are only associated with sensors and detectors hence faults associated with
modules, loops O/C – S/C, power supplies and so forth are not reported on the LCD.
The SmartTerminal has front panel indicators for each type of event. When SmartTerminal is
configured not to report a type of event and that event type is present (and the corresponding front
panel indicator is illuminated on the SmartTerminal), then a standard information screen is
displayed on the LCD stating the system is not normal and the operator should see the FACP.
Alarm: If configured the screen format for reporting loop / sensor / zone fire condition is:
Device descriptor (up to 33 characters) Type Descriptor (up to 6 characters)
Loop address and zone number(Lxx Syyy.zz Zwww) current device status
Date and Time of occurrence (DD/MM/YYYY HH:MM:SS)
Alarm sequence number ( Device Alarms nnn of nnn)
Fault: If configured the screen format for reporting loop / sensor / zone fault condition is:
Device descriptor (up to 33 characters) Type Descriptor (up to 6 characters)
Loop address and zone number(Lxx Syyy.zz Zwww) current device status
Fault sequence number ( Device Fault nnn of nnn)
Note: The fault types only relate to devices.
In the event of a loss of communications, for a period of greater than 15 seconds the SmartTerminal
will default to the No Communications screen. The format for this screen is:
No Communication
Device Isolate / Disables: If configured the screen format for reporting loop / sensor / zone disable
condition is:
Loop address and zone number(Lxx Syyy.zz Zwww) current device status
Isolate / Disable sequence number ( Device Fault nnn of nnn)
Device descriptor (up to 33 characters) Type Descriptor (up to 6 characters)
Pre-alarm: If configured the screen format for reporting loop / sensor / zone Pre-alarm condition is:
Pre-alarm descriptor (up to 15 characters)
Pre-alarm sequence number ( Device Pre-alarms nnn of nnn)
Loop address and zone number(Lxx Syyy.zz Zwww)

Normal / Default: The format for reporting that everything is normal is:
Current Date and Time (DD/MM/YYYY HH:MM)
System Status
The screen is only displayed when there are no alarms, fault or disables on the panel.
The default screen is only displayed when there are no device alarms, device faults or device
disables present on the system. The highest priority current system status will be displayed and can
be one of the following listed in order of highest to lowest priority:
“SYSTEM ALARM”
“SYSTEM PRE-ALARM”
“SYSTEM FAULT”
“SYSTEM ISOLATE”
“SYSTEM NORMAL”
Config: The Config screen displays the following
Address
VX.X ( This is the code software version number )
A - A + C - C+
A - A + : adjusts the address 1 to 30, 30 being the maximum number of SmartTerminal’s that can
be connected to the FACP, ( default is 255 which is not a valid address).
The function keys perform the following;
A – Press “Previous” A+ press “Next”
C - C+: decreases [-] and increases [+] the LCD contrast level.
The function keys perform the following;
C – Press “Silence Buzzer” C+ press “Reset”
