Overview
Note: The control panels described in this manual have been designed and developed to the highest
standards of quality, reliability and performance. All product components are capable to
application requirements and able to operate in compliance with the related technical
specifications when the temperature external to their casing complies with Category 3k5 of IEC
721-3-3.
Danger: The GAS control function is not EN54-2 compliant, as this feature is not mentioned in
the aforesaid standard.
Danger: In order to validate the IMQ-SISTEMI DI SICUREZZA certification, and in compliance
with EN54-2 regulations, all the manual alarm buttons and fire detectors employed in
the system must be associated with fire detection and alarm functions.
1.1 Application and use
The SmartLoop analogue-addressable fire alarm panel manages up to eight loops. The SmartLoop is
capable of working in a network environment (maximum configuration 30 nodes arranged in a token
ring). The loops accommodate different types of fire-security devices (detectors, input and output
modules, callpoints, fire bells, etc.). The maximum loop wire length is 2000 m.
The SmartLoop also provides supervised outputs which guarantee full control of peripheal device
functions (e.g. fire bells). The panel identifies and signals alarm, pre-alarm, fault, early warning,
bypassed zone, test and monitoring conditions. The system status is indicated on the display and on
the system status LEDs. The SmartLoop panel supports up to 8 Repeater panels (accessory items)
which replicate system data and allow building occupants with Level 2 authorization to silence and
reset the system. The panel can also be connected to a PC or printer.
The self-addressing feature and reduced-complexity point programming allow fast and easy
installation.

Caption
[A] Loop
All the peripheral devices of the system must be connected in parallel to the loop circuit (2 pole STP).
The loop is a closed electrical circuit in which a wide variety of alarm devices can be accommodated.
Opening or closing the circuit at any point will generate a fault signal. The loop circuit communication
path starts on the Loop-Out terminals and ends on the Loop-In terminals. The panel controls and
communicates with the loop devices via digital protocol. The loop utilizes the same two poles for the
power supply to the system devices and the two-way communication channel.
The loop accommodates:
1. Detectors: A smoke detector is an active fire protection device that detects smoke or flames and
issues an alarm thereby alerting building occupants to the danger of fire.
Detectors can be:
- Optical smoke detectors which look for the presence of visible by-products of combustion in the
detection chamber (Tyndall effect).
- Optical/Heat detectors which operate as per optical smoke detectors but also sense for increase in
the environment temperature. The combination of both sensing methods (smoke and heat)
provides faster detection and reduces the false alarm rate.
- Heat detectors: sense for an increase in the temperature in the protected environment. There are
two types of heat detector: Fixed temperature — that signal alarm when the temperature exceeds
the predefined threshold; and Rate-of-rise — that as well as monitoring the predefined fixed
temperature also respond to rapid increase in temperature.
- Ionization smoke detectors: feature a harmless radioactive source within a dual detection
chamber. They operate by sensing for a change in electrical conductivity across the detection
chamber.
- CO detectors: sense the levels of carbon monoxide given off by all carbon-based materials in the
smouldering stages of a fire (often combined with heat detection sensor).
2. Input Module: a device which monitors the status of another device (callpoint, detector, etc.)
and sends the respective information to the panel. The Input module allows the loop to
accommodate any type of device.
3. Output Module: provides a supervised ancillary output. The cause of activation of this output
can be defined during the system configuration phase. The output module interfaces all types of
loop devices (bells, signaling devices, fire door magnets, etc.).
4. Callpoint: a clearly labeled fire button with instructions for use in the event of fire. Usually placed
near building entrances/exits. These push-button alarm-trigger devices allow building occupants
to activate system alarms.
5. Sounder/Flasher: audible/visual alarm signaling devices. The cause of activation (alarm, pre-
alarm, early warning, etc.) can be defined during the system configuration phase.
For the list of the devices the loop accommodates, and for details regarding their wiring and operating
principles, refer to Appendix B and Appendix B.
The loop circuit configuration (as required by the local Fire code in force) is a fault-tolerant circuit
which, in the event of short-circuit or loop interruption, allows the panel to continue to communicate
and drive the elements on either side of the interruption.
[B] Isolator
In order to provide a fault-tolerant loop circuit that is Fire code compliant, isolator modules must be
installed in series with the loop circuit. Isolators modules detect short-circuit conditions and
consequently interrupt the loop circuit. If a short-circuit occurs, the two isolators adjacent to the
shorted section will open and split the loop in such way as to allow the panel to drive the elements on
either side of the interruption. No more than 32 detectors/devices should be installed between two
isolator modules.
Note: Many detectors/devices have built-in isolators and therefore do not require isolator modules.
Refer to Appendix B and Appendix B for further details.

Installation Manual
Overview 7
1.2 In order to validate the IMQ-SISTEMI DI SICUREZZA certification, and
in compliance with EN54-2 regulations,
1. All the manual alarm buttons and fire detectors employed in the system must be associated with
fire detection and alarm functions.
2. The functions associated with the programmable LEDs on the control panel frontplate (Keypad/
Display board and LED board), and on SmartLetUSee/LCD and Smart letUSee/LED Repeaters must
be set up in accordance with the colour of the LEDs:
•RED: FIRE ALARM Status
•YELLOW: FAULT, TEST and DISABLED Status
Note: The GAS control function is not EN54-2 compliant, as this feature is not mentioned in the
aforesaid standard.
1.3 About the SmartLoop fire alarm panel series
There are 3 expandable models (expandable to 8 loops by means of 3 SmartLoop/2L expansion
boards). All have 2 loops and common components housed in the same sized cabinet. Each
expandable model has a technically-downsized version (in same-sized cabinet) with 1 loop for reduced
complexity applications.
All models manage the same functions and support a full spectrum of hardwired and wireless devices.

6 node token-ring network layout”) of up to 30 control panels by means of a 3-pole cable with a
locking ring. The maximum cable length of 2000 meters (allowed between each control panel)
provides a highly fault-tolerant network. Using a supplementary 2-pole cable (5 poles in all), you can
create a protection ring which can pass alarm conditions, coming from a fire control panel with
microprocessor fault, through the ring.
Danger: In order to allow the ring to operate properly, the Port-B and Alarm-B terminals must
be connected to the successive Port-B and Alarm-B terminals.
4.4.1 The SmartLoop/NET board components
1. Aterminals: for the protection-ring connection (to be connected to Alarm-B of the successive
control panel)
2. Communication Port A (to be connected to Port-B of the successive control panel)
3. In-ring LED (indicates the In Service/Out of Service status of the SmartLoop/NET board. If this
LED is Off, the panel is isolated from the HorNet environment.
4. Port A status LEDs (2)
5. Port B status LEDs (2)
6. Bterminals: for the protection-ring connection (to be connected to Alarm-A of the previous control
panel)
7. Communication Port B (to be connected to the Port-A terminals of the previous control panel)
8. Board screws (4)
