1.0 INTRODUCTION
This manual provides a programming guide f or the Ziton Radio Loop Module.
The Ziton Radio Loop Module comprises of a radio transceiver capable of receiving 31 radio
devices. An LCD display is provided along with function buttons to allow programming and
diagnostics to be carried out for associated devices.
The Ziton Radio Loop Module is capable of connection to a ZP Protocol Fire Alarm Contr ol Panels
Loop via its Loop in and out connection terminals. The Radio Loop Module is addressed on the
loop via its onboard 8 way DIP switch. A total of 2 Radio Loop Modules can be f itted onto a F ire
Alarm Control Panels Loop.

1.1 System Design
All installation work should be carried out in accordance with the survey and system design.
It is recommended that the Ziton Radio Loop Module and peripheral devices are located in
accordance with the radio survey and system design. This should be established before
installation work commences.
1.2 Handling Precautions
General; Care should be taken when handling Ziton Radio Loop Module. Avoid dropping any of the
parts onto hard surfaces, as damage may occur to the case and internal circuitry.
ESD Precautions; Ziton Radio Loop Module includes components that are susceptible to damage
from Electro-Static Discharge (ESD). Permanent damage may be caused to these components
through routine handling if precautions are not observed. To reduce the risk of damage from ESD,
the following precautions should be observed.
Minimise the handling of PCB’s which contain static sensitive devices. Where handling is
unavoidable, always ensure that you have taken adequate earthing precautions. An earthed wrist
strap is recommended.
When storing or transporting a “loose” PCB, always use a container, which has be en designed and
manufactured with ESD protective properties.
Avoid placing static sensitive devices on plastic surf aces, which may increase the risk of a static
discharge.

1.3 Packaging:
All products should be kept in their packaging until they are due to be installed, to minimise the
risk of damage. Retain all packaging until the installation activities have been completed. Should
any product be found to be surplus to requirements, or require returning, the original packaging
should be used.
2.0 MENU STRUCTURE
The menu structure is shown overleaf and is entered by pressing the Rotary Control button.
Further menu options are entered by also pressing the Rotary Control button. To exit the menus
the back button can be pressed or the menus will automatically exit one step at a time at 30
second time intervals.

3.0 MENU EXPLANATION
3.1 Device Status
This f unction allows the current status of the allocated devices on the Radio Loop Module to be
viewed (Maximum of 31 devices). The devices are shown in the menu indicating their loop
address number, its logged on status and the device type. Further information on the device can
be obtained by pressing the Rotary Control button. This enables the f ollowing details to be
viewed:- Fault status, Alarm Status, Battery Level, Signal Level, unique 5 digit ident number,
sof tware version and also allows a manual signal level update to take place.
A typical display is shown below;
Addr 067 L Multi
The descriptions for the shown display are as follows;
Addr 067 –In this example this indicates the devices loop address number which has been
selected. Available options are between 1 and 127.
L –In this example this f ield indicates the devices logged on or fault status.
Available options are;
L= Logged On and in a normal condition.
! = Logged On with f ault(s) present.
= Logged On with a fire alarm present.
= Logged On with a pre alarm present.
Multi –This f ield indicates the device type. Available options are:
Radio = Ziton Radio Loop Module
Multi = Multisensor Detector
Optic = Optical Detector
Heat = Heat Detector
HTemp = Heat Detector
MCP = Manual Callpoint
Sound = Sounder Device
I/O = Input/Output Device
??? = Unknown Device
Further Device Status Information on the displayed device is available by pressing the Rotary
Control button. This allows the f ollowing menus to be viewed;
Fault Status –this menu when entered, shows detailed information on the f ault status of the
device.
Note; If multiple f aults are applicable to a device the rotary control can be tur ned to view the
total f ault listing and a down arrow will be present to indicate that there is mor e than one f ault
present
The available fault descriptions are described overleaf;
