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 make 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.

Document Conventions
Circuits and Zones
Circuit = this refers to an actual electrical interface, initiating (detection), indicating (signal), or relay.
Zone = this is a logical concept for a fire alarm protected area, and will consist of at least one circuit.
The terms zone and circuit are used interchangeably throughout this manual.
On the Smart Connect Multi-loop, circuits can be either conventional or addressable inputs or outputs. Both hardwired conventional
inputs and outputs, and addressable inputs and outputs may be grouped together to form logical zones.
Wiring Styles
Loop Circuits have a redundant pathway (powered from both sides of the circuit) and are able to be wired either in the Class A
designation or in the Class X designation (designed to operate past any a single short circuit with the addition of EN54 listed isolators).
Conventional Zone Circuits do not have a redundant path. The SCM-ZMM has 6 Class B circuits and simply terminates at the last
device.
Alarm Circuits do not have a redundant path. The SCM-ACM has 2 Class B circuits and simply terminates at the last device.

The control cabinet can be semi flushed into a wall or surface mounted.
Locating the Fire Alarm Control Panel
The control panel should be installed per BS5839-1:2017 recommendations: -
The panel should be close to the main entrance of the building, so that it can be viewed by any fire-fighting personnel entering the
building.
•It should be fitted to a sturdy wall that will not flex unnecessarily.
•It should ideally be mounted at eye level, for it to be viewed without need of a ladder.
•It should be installed in a dry, weatherproof place, preferably NOT in direct sunlight.
•It should be easily accessible, so that the responsible person can perform their regular fire alarm checks.
The panel must be in a clean, dry position, which is not subject to excessive shock or vibration and at least 2 meters away from pager
systems or any other radio transmitting equipment. The operating temperature range is -5°C (23°F) to 40°C (104°F); maximum humidity
is 95%. The panel will withstand vibrations between 5 & 150 Hz.
Mounting the Enclosure
Fix the enclosure to the wall using all the mounting points provided:
SMART6: 4 x Mounting Points. See Fig 1
SMART10: 4 x Mounting Points See Fig 2
SMART26: 6 x Mounting Points. See Fig 3
Check the build and condition of the wall to decide a suitable screw fixing. The mounting holes are designed for No 8 roundhead or
countersunk woodscrews (or similar). Remove any debris from the enclosure. Take care not to damage the FACP during installation.
Mounting Hole Dimensions
Fig 1
ATTENTION: DO NOT DRILL ANY ENTRY HOLES INTO THE PSU SECTION OF THE ENCLOSURE WHICH IS LOCATED ON THE LEFT-
HAND SIDE OF THE CONTROL PANEL CABINET.

Planning Cable Entry
The Knock-out cable entries can be easily removed by tapping with a suitable screwdriver or chisel from outside the control panel box.
Alternatively, the entry can be drilled out, using a 20mm hole cutter. Care should be taken if using a drill. Consider removing the PCBs
to prevent damaging them.
The SMART Connect Multi-loop comes with many cable entry holes. If another entry hole is required, it is strongly recommended that
the panel door is removed to avoid accidental damage. Also, the power supply and termination board should be removed and stored in
a safe place. This would also help while fixing the back box to the wall.
Cable Grounding
The panel is provided earth bars located along the top of the panel for grounding incoming wiring if needed.
The SMART6 panel has 1 x 12 way Earth bar
The SMART10 panel has 2 x 12 way Earth bar
The SMART26 panel has 3 x 12 way Earth bar
Mains Wiring
ATTENTION: DO NOT DRILL ANY ENTRY HOLES INTO THE PSU SECTION OF THE ENCLOSURE.
Note: The AC (mains) input wiring, and the back-up battery connections are non-power-limited. All other connections on the
SMART connect multi-loop panel are power limited. Ensure that a minimum ¼” separation exists between non-power-limited and
power-limited circuits.

Smart Connect Multi-loop Installation Manual
www.zetaalarmsystems.com
14
Recommendations
The Mains supply to the FACP is fixed wiring, using Fire resisting 3-core cable (Between 1 mm² and 2.5mm²), or equivalent, fed from an
isolating double pole switch fused spur, and fused at 5A. This should be secure from unauthorized operation and be marked ‘FIRE
ALARM: DO NOT SWITCH OFF’. The supply must be exclusive to the Fire Panel.
Connecting the Mains Power
The AC Live (L), Earth (E) and Neutral (N) connections are marked on the power supply cage. It is essential that the mains Earth cable is
connected to the PSU’s Earth terminal. The incoming mains cable should be kept separate from the loop card cables to help minimise
mains interference.
It is advisable to apply power to the panel before connecting any devices, to check for correct operation, and to familiarise yourself
with the fire alarm panels controls.
If a knockout is removed, fill the hole with a suitable cable gland. If any knockout is removed, but subsequently not used, it should be
covered up.
The AC Mains cable must be fed into the enclosure via one of the cable entries at the top left corner of the back box (Refer to Figure 3
below).
ATTENTION: MAKE SURE ANY SPARE ENTRY HOLES THAT HAVE BEEN OPENED, BUT NOT USED ARE COVERED WITH SUITABLE
GROMMETS OR BLANKING SCREWS.

Assembling the panel
The SMART Connect Multi-loop is a modular panel, designed to be flexible to install. It will normally be supplied as the base panel with
a number of expansion modules packed separately. The Modules are Din Rail Mounted, and connect to the panel’s motherboard with a
small RJ45 cable (supplied with the module). The Base panel is available in 3 sizes:
SMART6 SMART10
SMART26
The above diagrams show the port addresses for each panel size
A typical panel set up would include:-
At least one module for initiating devices (Either a conventional zone module [SCM-ZMM], or an addressable loop module [SCM-LCM])
At least one module for warning devices (Either a conventional sounder circuit module [SCM-ACM], or an addressable loop module
[SCM-LCM])

Smart Connect Multi-loop Installation Manual
www.zetaalarmsystems.com
19
Initial Power Up
It is recommended to initially power up the panel with no modules connected to confirm that the base panel is functioning as
expected. To do this:-
1. Check that the AC cable is connected correctly and the proper grounding has been made (as per BS5839-1:2017).
2. Close the panel door
3. Turn on the mains power. The following will be observed:-
a. Power, Fault and System Fault LEDs will light for around 6 seconds
b. Fault and System Fault LEDs will turn off. Power LED will blink a few times
c. LCD will show touch for calibration. Press the screen within 3 seconds to perform a screen calibration. (The screen is
calibrated at the factory, so this step is not usually required)
d. The LCD shows the Zeta logo for a few seconds, while it checks to see what modules are fitted. (Note: the usual
“System Healthy” banner is not shown during the module check.)
e. If the panel finds no modules, it displays “No Modules” on its LCD
f. The panel has passed its power on test. It can now be turned off and the modules can be fitted.
Module Installation
The Smart Multi-loop panel uses the expansion port number to reference modules. It is recommended that any Loop Card modules are
fitted first to the first expansion ports, so that the loop circuit numbers follow a logical sequence (loop 1 in port 1, loop 2 in port 2 etc.)
1. Ensure that the installation area is free from any cables or wires that may get caught, and that there is enough space on the
DIN rail to mount the module. Also ensure that the DIN clip underneath the module is in the open position.
2. Place the module onto the DIN rail, hooking the metal earth clip underneath onto the rail first.
3. Once the earth clip is hooked, push the bottom of the module onto the rail so that the module sits flat.
4. Push the plastic DIN clip (located at the bottom of the module) upwards to lock and secure the module into position.
5. Once the module is secured to the DIN rail, simply connect the supplied CAT5E cable to the module’s RJ45 port.

TRM RJ45 Port Address Designation
Each RJ45 port on the SMART Connect Multi-loop termination PCB has its own unique port address. This port address is important to
keep note of as it is displayed on Alarm/Fault messages and is used when configuring or setting up cause and effects on the panel (See
operation manual GLT-261-7-11).
Securing the modules
The modules are designed to clip together to make them more secure. In addition, the SMART Connect Multi-loop panel is supplied
with DIN rail end stoppers. These should be fitted before the first module, and after the last module on each rail.
Before Powering the Panel On
1. To prevent the risk of a spark, do not connect the batteries. Only connect the batteries after powering on the system from its
main AC supply.
2. Check that all external field wiring is clear from any open, shorts and ground faults.
3. Check that all the modules have been installed properly, with correct connections and placement
4. Check that all switches and jumper links are at their correct settings.
5. Check that all interconnection cables are plugged in properly, and that they are secure.
6. Check that the AC power wiring is correct.
7. Ensure that the panel chassis has been correctly earth grounded (See BS5839-1:2017 recommendations).
8. Before powering on from the main AC supply, make sure that the front panel door is closed.
