Commissioning Manual
1Introduction
1.1 Notice
•The material and instructions covered in this manual have been carefully checked for accuracy and are presumed
to be correct. However, the manufacturer assumes no responsibility for inaccuracies and reserves the right to
modify and revise this document without notice.
•These instructions cover the commissioning and programming of both the ZXa and ZXe Fire Alarm Control
Panels. Refer to the Fire Alarm Control Panel Operator’s Manual for instructions on powering up and operating
the system. Refer to the relevant Installation Manual for instructions on installing the panel.
1.2 Warnings and Cautions
These instructions contain procedures to follow in order to avoid injury and damage to
equipment. It is assumed that the user of this manual is a suitably trained installer who is
familiar with the relevant regulations.
All equipment must be programmed to operate in accordance with the appropriate standards
and local regulations applicable to the installation.
Electro-static Sensitive Devices.
Take suitable ESD precautions when working inside the panel enclosure.
1.3 National Approvals
This equipment must be installed in accordance with these instructions and the appropriate national,
regional and local regulations specific to the country and location of the installation. Consult with the
appropriate Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) for confirmation of the requirements.

1.4 EMC Compatibility
•This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part
15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference
when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate
radio frequency energy, and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause
harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in
which case, the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.
•If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by
turning the equipment on and off, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the
followingmeasures:
1. Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
2. Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver.
3. Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
4. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

2User Control Levels
2.1 Level Definition
•The ZXa and ZXe Fire Alarm Control Panels have three user control levels.
•At all three levels, the LED Displays indicate the condition of the installation, the Zone LED Displays indicate the
location of any fire alarm or fault and the alphanumeric display gives more detailed fire alarm or fault information.
•At USER LEVEL 1, all the displays are functional but the front panel control keys are inhibited.
•At USER LEVEL 2, all front panel controls are functional and some system operation parameters and functions
can be changed. User Level 2 is reached by entering a password from level 1.
•At USER LEVEL 3, all front panel controls are functional and full system configuration and programming are
possible. User Level 3 is reached by entering a password from either Level 1 or Level 2. User Level 3 is intended
for use by the system installer / maintenance contractor.
2.2 User Passwords
•Up to ten USER LEVEL 2 passwords can be programmed into the panel.
•The USER LEVEL 2 passwords can be assigned / changed at Level 3 by the installer / maintenance contractor.
Level 2 passwords do not allow access to Level 3 functions.
The Default Level 2 password is 1234. At initialization, only one Level 2 password is enabled.
The Level 3 password is ####. This password cannot be changed. To ensure panel security,
do not set a Level 2 password to be the same as the Level 3 password.

3Controls and Displays
3.1 Control keys
•Each control panel has two groups of control keys.
•A bank of four keys contains the four system control keys: Sound Alarms, Silence / Resound, Mute / Accept and
System Reset.
•A bank of 17 keys contains interactive and alphanumeric keys. On the ZXa, opening the hinged panel gives
access these keys. This is located below the Zone LED Display.

entry of the Level 2 password. The password must be entered to re-enable the control keys at Level 2.
3.2 Front Panel LED Indications
•The Level 1 LED Indicators are divided into two sections.
•The upper array of LED Indicators shows the operational conditional of the panel and the installation.
•The lower array of Zone LED Indicators shows the location of a fire alarm or fault.
•The standard Zone LED Indicators provide identification for up to 20 zones. On the ZXe panel, this can be
extended by adding either a further 20 zones (to give a total of 40 zones) or a further 60 zones (to give a total of
80 zones).
•The LED Indicators illuminate as red, yellow or green to give a clear indication of the panel status as follows:
