Installation Manual Document No. 996-174-000-1, Revision: 01 Page 5
3 Installation
3.1 Installing the Enclosure
󰿃Unlock the front door and remove the ferrite absorber and EOL resistor kits. Store these in a
secure place for re-use later.
󰿃If removing the chassis prior to installing the back box, proceed as described below.
3.1.1 Removing the Chassis
󰿃Unplug the ribbon cable between the CPU Board and the Display Board at the CPU Board end.
With ZX10Se panels you need to do this for each of the ZX5Se panels.
󰿃Remove the nuts and spring washers holding the chassis to the back box. There are four of each
for ZX1Se / ZX2Se, six of each for ZX5Se and twelve for the ZX10Se. Store these in a secure
place for re-use later.
󰿃For the ZX1Se/2Se panels only, disconnect the internal wiring from the AUX, Sounders and Relay
connectors at the bottom edge of the Base PCB. DO NOT disconnect the wiring at the Filter PCB.
Refer to Section 3.4.14 Cable Routing for correct wiring termination after chassis remounting.
󰿃Carefully remove the chassis assembly. Store in a secure place where it will not be damaged
and where it will be kept dry and clean.
Handle the chassis by holding the metalwork only. DO NOT lift it by holding the printed
circuit boards or any parts on the circuit boards.
3.1.2 Mounting the Enclosure to the Wall
The ZX5Se Fire Alarm Control Panel can weigh in excess of 39kg (ZX5Se) and 18kg (ZX2Se)
with the batteries fitted. When attaching the enclosure to a surface, use mounting hardware
capable of supporting this weight and reinforce the wall if necessary. The ZX10Se can weigh
in excess of 76.8kg with two 24Ah batteries fitted.
󰿃Remove the necessary knockouts for the installation cabling.
󰿃Mount the enclosure in the desired location using all four mounting holes (the ZX10Se has 5 holes).
󰿃Use a drill bit diameter 7.0 mm and a suitable 40 mm long expansion plug. Fix the panel to the wall with
No. 10 screws length 1½” or M5 screws length 40 mm. DO NOT use countersunk-headed screws.
󰿃Install the external wiring into the enclosure using the appropriate glands / conduit fittings.
Sufficient knockouts are provided at the top of the enclosure. If you punch other holes, be sure
that they do not interfere with any component mounting positions.
󰿃Use a brush to clean any dust and swarf from inside the enclosure before attempting to remount
the chassis assembly.
For details of knockout positions, refer to Section 3.4.14 Cable Routing. Cables must be
megger tested before any active devices are fitted and before the connections are made to
the terminal blocks.
3.1.3 Remounting the Chassis
󰿃Carefully mount the chassis on to the threaded studs.
󰿃Make sure that the wiring between the Base PCB connectors and Filter PCB is not trapped
behind the chassis metalwork (the wiring is secured to the back box side wall to assist with this).
󰿃Secure the chassis to the back box using the nuts and spring washers that were originally removed.
󰿃Plug the ribbon cable between the CPU Board and the Display board back into the CPU Board.
The plug and socket are polarised to ensure correct insertion.

ZX Fire Alarm Control Panels
Page 6 Document No. 996-174-000-1, Revision: 01 Installation Manual
󰿃For ZX10Se panels ensure both panels are re-connected as described above.
Handle the chassis by holding the metalwork only. DO NOT lift it by holding the printed
circuit boards or any parts on the circuit boards.

transformer converts the input mains voltage to a safe extra-low voltage (SELV). All of these
components are mounted to the chassis.
󰿃The incoming power feed cable Ground or Earth (Green or Green/Yellow) wire must be
connected to the terminal block protective earth connection – middle terminal.

3.4.3 Detection Loops
󰿃The control panel supports analogue detectors with a digital, data transmission system. It
provides power and communicates with the initiating devices over a two-wire circuit.
EN54
!
EN54-2 13.7
Maximum of 512
sensors / MCPs
per panel.
󰿃Depending on protocol, it is possible for up to 1000 addressable input
points to be connected to the panel.
󰿃To comply with EN54-2 requirements, a maximum of 512 sensors /
MCPs (input points) only should be connected to the control panel
across all analogue detection loops (the limit for the ZX10Se is 1024 as
it comprises two ZX5Se FACPs). This limit includes any conventional
detectors / call points connected to the system via zone monitors.
The detection circuit should be separated from other cable runs to minimize the risk of
external interference. Under extremely noisy conditions, twisted pair wire is recommended
to reduce interference.
The Detection Loop Circuits are supervised and power limited.
󰿃Shielded cable should be used for all detection (SLC) circuits. It is important that the shield is
always terminated to a good earth connection at both ends of the loop. Mineral insulated copper
cable (MICC) is recommended for the best screening purposes. However, most of the established
brands of fire-related, screened cables are suitable. Refer to Section 3.4.13 for a list of
recommended cables.
󰿃The core size, length of wiring run and detection circuit loading will produce a voltage drop along
the length of the cable. To determine if the installed loop driver can fully support the planned loop
configuration, use the detector manufacturers’ calculations for voltage and capacitance.
ALWAYS check that conductors of appropriate diameter are used so that the voltage at
the detectors is within the detector manufacturer’s specification.
The maximum permitted impedance for the SLC Loop is dependent on the loop driver
card fitted and loop loading conditions. Please refer to the loop and battery calculator
tool for specific recommendations.
󰿃The following table lists the maximum recommended cable loop lengths for each detection loop
type. Wiring to external devices should follow the appropriate manufacturer’s instructions. Again,
refer to the loop and battery calculator tool for site-specific recommendations.
Loop Driver Maximum Loop Length

Apollo 2 km 1 km 1.5 km 2 km
Hochiki 2 km 1 km 1.5 km 2 km
Nittan 1 km 0.8km 1 km 1 km
Table 3 – Maximum Loop Lengths
󰿃NOTE 1: Cable runs in excess of 2km are not recommended. Otherwise, cable capacitance
(Max. 0.5µF per loop) and inductance may start to interfere with data transmission. For systems
with Nittan detectors, cable runs should not exceed ½ km. Refer to the cable manufacturer’s
quoted figures for maximum cable capacitance.
󰿃The SLC (detector) circuits should be installed as loops with or without isolator modules. The
wiring details are as described below.

EN54-2 12.5.2

between Isolators.
For best results and system integrity:
The detection loop circuit should be wired as a loop with short circuit
isolators. This allows the system to still function in the event that a
section of the cable becomes short-circuited. It is recommended that
short-circuit isolators be fitted to the detection loop to prevent an
external short circuit from removing more than 32 addressable points
from the system.
󰿃The detection loop connections are made on the terminal blocks at the top of the base card.

devices – see below.
󰿃Return the wiring to the positive and
negative terminals at the other side
of the connector on the base card.

the loop are correctly oriented for

󰿃It is recommended that Short Circuit Isolators be installed. Install the isolators at strategic points
in the loop (i.e. zonal boundaries) to prevent an external short circuit from removing more than
32 addressable points from the system.
Note: The loop driver modules have built-in isolators so it is not required to place isolator modules
on the outputs of the FACP.
󰿃Refer to the following diagram for information.
FACP Connections
Figure 11 – Loop Wiring with Isolators– Preferred Alternative
DO NOT loop wiring under any terminals.
EN54-2 requires that an isolator must be sited between each zone. You may use more than
this, however, you must ensure that the loop wiring is broken at each isolation point.
3.4.3.2 EMC Compliance
For EMC Compliance, fit the
Ferrite Absorbers supplied
with the loop driver board
around the SLC Loop cables.
Cables should be screened
and should be terminated in
appropriate glands to meet
local wiring codes and to
preserve the integrity of the
screen connection. The
cable screen is to be
clamped inside the cable
gland, which must be fitted
to ensure a 360° bond is
formed with the metal of the
back box. Alternatively,
terminate the cable screens
(drain wires) at the nearest
earth stud provided on the
inner top surface of the back
box.
The figure opposite shows
the arrangement for a typical
installation.
