SMART TERMINAL LOOPSENSE EN54 INSTALLATION &COMMISSIONING
1 Introduction
SmartTerminal has been designed for use with the LoopSense 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.
SmartTerminal connects to the LoopSense 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.
SmartTerminal essentially consists of two PCBs;
1. 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
2. BRD82ICC –Control, LCD Communications and LCD Driver Board
SmartTerminal can be supplied in two styles;
1. BX05: Slim line SmartTerminal
2. BX1: Standard SmartTerminal
Note:A maximum of 30 SmartTerminal’s may be connected to the communications bus over a
distance of approximately 1.2Kms
