• The ZX1E and ZX2E Fire Alarm Control Panels receive power from either a 230V, 50Hz (or 120V, 60Hz-
power supply1). The current flows through an EMI filter to the transformer. The transformer converts the
input mains voltage to 24V AC. All of these components are mounted to the chassis.
• The incoming power feed cable Ground or Earth (Green or Green/Yellow) wire should be connected to the
terminal block earth connection – middle terminal.
• Connect the neutral (Blue/Black) wire to the top terminal and connect the Phase or Live (Brown/Red) wire
to the bottom terminal. The terminal block contains an integral fuse.
Open and lock out the circuit
breaker before connecting
any wiring. Do not power the
system until the installation is
complete.
Maintain separation between
the 120/230V and the low

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 / MCP’s
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 /
MCP’s (input points) only should be connected to the control panel
across all analogue detection loops. 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 40 ohms. This must be reduced if
loop powered sounders are installed.
• 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.

Table 2 – Maximum Loop Lengths
• NOTE 1: Cable runs in excess of 2km are not recommended. Otherwise, cable capacitance (Max. 0.5uF
per loop) and inductance may start to interfere with data transmission. Refer to the manufacturers’ 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.

between Isolator.
For best results and system integrity:
The detection loop circuit should be wired as a loop with short
circuit isolators. This will allow the system to still function, even if a
section of the cable becomes open 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.
3.4.3.1 Loop Wiring Installation
• Form the loop by taking wires from the positive and
negative terminals, at one side of the connector on the
base card – see opposite.
• Proceed with installing wiring, around the loop,
connecting all devices – see below.
• Return the wiring to the positive and negative
terminals at the other side of the connector on the
base card.
• Ensure that all devices connected to the loop are
correctly oriented for positive and negative
connections.
• Refer to the detector manufacturers’ data sheet
supplied with the signalling device.

• 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.

• Care must be taken to ensure that the number of signalling loop devices (inputs and outputs) installed
does not exceed the power supply ratings of each individual loop driver board and of the panel (all loops)
in both quiescent and alarm conditions.

3.4.4 Sounder Circuits
• The ZX1E and ZX2E Fire Alarm Control Panels have two power limited and supervised sounder circuits,
identified as sounder circuits A and B.
• The ZX5E Fire Alarm Control Panel has four power limited and supervised sounder circuits, identified as
sounder circuits A, B, C and D.
• Each circuit has a maximum rating of 1 Amp.
• Each sounder output is monitored for open and short circuits. An end-of-line (EOL) resistor (6.8KΩ, 0.5W
minimum, P/N 170-073-682) must be fitted to the last sounder on the circuit.
• Each sounder should have an integral blocking diode that prevents the sounder from consuming any
power in the normal monitoring position. The polarity of the sounder output is reversed when the sounder
circuit is energised. This allows the sounder to turn on.
Sounder Circuits
