Suppliers of articles for use at work are required to ensure as reasonably as is practical that the article will be safe
and without risk to health when properly used. An article is not regarded as properly used if it is used 'without regard
to any relevant information or advice' relating to its use made available by the supplier.
This product should be installed, commissioned and maintained by trained service personnel in accordance with the
following:
(i) Regulations for electrical equipment in buildings specific to the country of use.
(ii) Codes of practice
(iii) Statutory requirements
(iv) Any instructions advised by the manufacturer.
Installers of this product are required to take such steps as necessary to ensure that all appropriate information and
training is provided to anyone concerned with its use.
This equipment is designed to operate at 230V AC 50/60Hz mains supplies, class 1 construction. As such it must
be connected to a protective earthing conductor in the fixed wiring of the installation, failure to ensure that all con-
ductive accessible parts of this equipment are adequately bonded to the protective earth will render the equipment
unsafe.
A readily accessible double pole disconnect device meeting the requirements of the relevant electrical safety regu-
lations specific to the country of use, which disconnects live and neutral simultaneously shall be incorporated in the
fixed wiring.
This equipment is certified as environmental class A and therefore designed for indoor use only at temperatures

Compliance
Sigma ZXT is compliant with the following standards:
EN54-2 and EN54-4 Fire Detection and Fire Alarm Systems - Control and Indicating Equipment
In addition to the standard EN54-2 requirements the following options with requirements have been includ-
ed in the Control Panel:
Output to alarm devices to enable an audible warning to be sounded throughout the premises upon the detection of
a fire condition or the operation of a manual call point. EN54-2 Section 7.8.
Test condition to allow the automatic resetting of zones in alarm for testing purposes. EN54-2 Section 10.
Delay of the actioning of fire alarm devices (sounders) so that an alarm may be verified before a premise is evacu-
ated. EN54-2 Section 7.11
In addition to the requirements of EN54-2, Sigma ZXT Control Panels have a voltage free relay contact for fire which
operates upon a fire condition. This is to be used for local control and signalling.
EN12094-1 Fixed fire-fighting systems - Components for gas extinguishing systems - Part 1: Requirements and test
methods for electrical automatic control and delay devices.
In addition to the standard EN12094-1 requirements the following options with requirements have been in-
cluded in the Control Panel:
EN12094-1 Section 4.17. Delay of extinguishing signal of up to 60 seconds.
EN12094-1 Section 4.18. Signal representing the flow of extinguishing agent to indicate the released condition.
EN12094-1 Section 4.19. Monitoring of the status of components by way of a low pressure switch input.
EN12094-1 Section 4.20. Emergency hold device to enable the extinguishant delay time to be extended.
EN12094-1 Section 4.21. Control of flooding time to deactivate the releasing output after a set period of time.
EN12094-1 Section 4.23. Manual only mode to disable the release of extinguishant via automatic detection devices.
EN12094-1 Section 4.25. Extinguishing signals to spare cylinders enables the switching to a spare set of cylinders
following a discharge to return the system to a functional state.
EN12094-1 Section 4.27. Emergency Abort device to inhibit the extinguishing signal until the emergency abort de-
vice has been de-activated and the Panel has been reset.
EN12094-1 Section 4.30. Activation of alarm devices with different signals to indicate pre-discharge and released
warnings using different sounds.
Default panel settings provide EN54-2 compliance:
BUZZER O/P: Enabled/Disabled This must be set to ENABLED.
MAINS FLT RLY DLY: OFF/30m This must be set to OFF.
FAULT RELAY: ENABLED/DISABLED This must be set to ENABLED.
FIRE RELAY: ENABLED/DISABLED. This must be set to ENABLED.
EARTH FAULT: ENABLED/DISABLED This must be set to ENABLED.
Important! Any deviation from these settings and compliance EN54-2 is void.
