Introduction
About the Smart Connect Multi-loop Repeater
The Zeta Smart Connect Multi-loop Repeater Panel can be used to monitor, operate and program Smart Connect Multi-loop fire alarm
control panels (FACPs) from anywhere within the networked system.
The Repeater features a 4.3” colour touch screen display that provides easy-to understand system messages. The Repeater is
ergonomically designed with a LED, button and menu setup that perfectly replicates a Smart Connect Multi-loop Control Panel. This will
make the Repeater feel familiar to use for those who are trained/experienced in using the Smart Connect system.
It can operate as part of a networked system of up to 64 panel’s peer-to-peer, with powerful programming options that allow
configurable control over whether messages from specific panels are transmitted around the network or remain local.
The 32-bit microcontroller (MCU) at the heart of panel 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 configuration tool Smart Connect is used to
configure the system’s operation based on the customer specified operating requirements, and reduce commissioning/installation
times.
The Smart 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 system fault
condition and tries to reset it.
The Smart Connect Multi-loop Repeater enclosure can be surface or flush mounted.

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 systems, 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.
