housing to eliminate movement.
Connecting zones with initiating devices
Zone configuration
The control panel has three fire detection zone inputs, marked Z1, Z2, and Z3 on
the control panel PCB to define the extinguishing area.
By default, Z1 and Z2 cover the extinguishing area and are configured for
automatic detection of an extinguishing event. (Both zones must be in fire alarm
condition to determine an extinguishing event.) The default configuration for Z3
provides standard fire detection as a mixed zone (using automatic or manual fire
alarm detection).
Additional zone configuration options are available - see “Extinguishing zones”
on page 45 more information.

Note: For BS 7273 installations an active end-of-line device must be installed
(instead of an end-of-line resistor). Unused zones must be terminated with an
active end-of-line device or configured as passive end-of-line and terminated with
a 4.7 kΩ, 5%, 1/4 W end-of-line resistor.
The type of zone termination can be configured on a zone-by-zone basis. See
“Zone configuration” on page 55. Advanced installer user level access is
required.
Connecting fire detectors
Connect detectors as shown in Figure 3 on page 8.
The panel supports conventional detectors. To guarantee optimal operation, use
the detectors specified in the compatibility list. For more information on fire
detectors, see Chapter 5 “Technical specifications” on page 79.
Note: For BS 7273 installations a diode must be connected on the detector base
(see your detector installation manual for more details).
Connecting fire alarm manual call points
Connect fire alarm manual call points in parallel. Each fire zone can support a
maximum of 32 manual call points.
In zones used for fire detection, manual call points must have a resistance
installed in series with the normally open (NO) contact for activation. This avoids
reporting a short circuit fault and allows identification of the alarm type (automatic
or manual) based on the impedance.
In zones used for the extinguishing area, alarms are always reported as
automatic (detector), but indications may vary for other panels in a network. A
series impedance is also required to avoid reporting a short circuit fault.
The resistance required depends on the zone type, as shown in the table below.
Resistance must be rated at 1 W minimum.

Chapter 2: Installation
ZP1-X3E Series Installation Manual 11
Connecting extinguishing system manual call points
The manual call point inputs require an activation impedance between 100 and
620 Ω, 2 W. These are normally connected in series with a normally open (NO)
contact. An end-of-line resistance of 15 kΩ is required.
When the abort extinguishing or hold extinguishing manual call points are
activated, the control panel activates the related relay outputs on the main board.
Note: MCP Hold faults and MCP Abort faults prevent the panel from entering the
extinguishing activation state (because of life safety issues) and from activating
the actuator (to ensure property protection).
The extinguishing system supports three types of manual call point (MCP):
• MCP Start
• MCP Hold
• MCP Abort
Descriptions of each MCP type follow.
MCP Start. Starts the extinguishing process. When the panel is in the standby,
extinguishing preactivation, or fire alarm state, activation of this device puts the
panel in the extinguishing activation state.
The control panel can be configured to bypass any actuator delay and to activate
the actuator immediately on entering the extinguishing activation state. To
configure this, set the “Actuator delay for Start MCP” to OFF.
MCP Hold. Holds the extinguishing process. When the panel is in the
extinguishing activation state, the actuator output is not activated while the MCP
Hold device is activated (continuously). The MCP Hold input can be configured
for two different operating modes, Mode A and Mode B.
Table 7: MCP Hold operating modes
Mode
Description
Mode A
When the MCP Hold is activated, the actuator delay countdown continues,
but the panel is prevented from entering the extinguishing activation state.
When the MCP Hold is deactivated, the delay countdown determines when
the panel enters the extinguishing activation state.
In this mode, activation of the MCP Hold turns on the MCP Hold LED, which
stays on until the panel is manually reset. The yellow Preactivation LED
flashes to indicate that the panel is being prevented from entering the
extinguishing activation state. The Preactivation LED flashes to show when
the MCP Hold is on; it turns off when the MCP Hold is off.
Mode B
When the MCP Hold is activated, the actuator delay countdown stops, putting
the extinguishing release process on hold. The sounders emit a unique
sound pattern (1 second on, 4 seconds off) while the extinguishing release
process is on hold. When the MCP Hold is deactivated, the delay countdown
restarts and the sounder pattern changes to the tone configured for
extinguishing activation. The MCP Hold LED turns off when the MCP Hold
device is deactivated.

Chapter 2: Installation
12 ZP1-X3E Series Installation Manual
See “Hold mode” on page 43 for instructions on setting the MCP Hold operating
mode.
MCP Abort. Aborts the extinguishing process. During the standby, extinguishing
preactivation, extinguishing activation, and fire alarm states, activating the MCP
Abort device prevents the extinguishing process until the MCP Abort device is
deactivated and the control panel is reset.
Connecting a disable extinguishing switch
Use the disable extinguishing input IN3 (BS 7273 mode) to disable the
extinguishing process remotely (requires operator level access).
Connecting an external device for manual-only mode control
When the control panel is in manual-only mode, the extinguishing process can
only be initiated manually, using the MCP Start device. Automatic extinguishing
events reported by the fire detection zones are disabled for extinguishing
activation.
This mode of operation can be used when the user interface is not suitable for
your application and a remote control is needed.
A manual-only mode input device is used to switch the panel to this mode. In
addition to connecting a manual-only mode activation device, you must configure
the system by setting the “Manual-only mode local” option to OFF.
Note: EU ordinances and regulations require the use of a key switch to control
access to this function.
See “Input and output specifications” on page 81 for the required impedance
values for this unsupervised input.
Connecting a low pressure indication switch
Use the low pressure indication input to detect low pressure in the extinguishing
agent container.
The “Pressure switch type” option defines whether the device detects low
pressure when open or when closed. In the device standby state, either normally
open or normally closed, the input is not interpreted as a low pressure fault. The
default setting is normally closed (NC). This results in a low pressure fault when
the switch opens.
See “Input and output specifications” on page 81 to see how the low pressure
indication device impedance is related to the low pressure fault.
Connecting an extinguishing agent flow device
Use the extinguishing agent flow input to connect a device that detects the
release of the extinguishing agent from its container into the extinguishing area.
Note: Before you connect a device to the extinguishing agent flow input, make
sure that it is compatible with the required input impedance levels of the control
panel, as specified in “Input and output specifications” on page 81.
www.acornfiresecurity.com
www.acornfiresecurity.com

Chapter 2: Installation
ZP1-X3E Series Installation Manual 13
The “Extinguishing agent flow” option lets you define the functionality of this
device. Here are the details.
When the extinguishing agent flow option is set to OFF, the panel enters the
extinguishing released state when the actuator output is activated. The panel
does not require confirmation of the flow to enter this state. The extinguishing
agent flow circuitry continues to operate for indication purposes. The panel will
not enter the release state when the extinguishing agent flow device is active
without first entering the extinguishing activation state (that is, when an
extinguishing event is detected).
When the extinguishing agent flow option is set to ON, the control panel can
enter the extinguishing released state from any state, once the extinguishing
agent flow device is activated. In extinguishing released state, the panel activates
all corresponding outputs, except for the actuator output.
Connecting a safety door fault monitoring device
The safety door fault monitoring input lets the panel monitor a door in the
extinguishing area. The monitored door becomes a safety door.
A safety door fault means that the door is in a position that will prevent the
release process, given the current operating mode of the panel. A safety door
fault prevents the panel from entering the extinguishing activation state (because
of life safety issues) and activating the actuator (to ensure property protection).
When the panel is in manual-only mode, the safety door must be open. A closed
door signal is interpreted as a fault.
When the panel is in manual-automatic mode, the safety door must be closed.
An open door signal is interpreted as a fault.
You can configure a delay before the panel interprets a safety door monitor
signal as a fault. This allows for momentary opening or closing of the door for
routine traffic. The delay is bypassed when the panel enters the extinguishing
activation or extinguishing released states.
By default, the control panel is configured for basic applications which do not use
this monitoring function. If your installation requires it, activate the function by
setting the “Safety door monitoring” option to ON, and specifying a “Safety door
fault delay” between 10 and 90 seconds.
Here are the operating details of the function.
When the panel is not in extinguishing activation or extinguishing released states:
• For manual-automatic mode, the panel reports a fault if the door is open and
the door fault delay expires
• For manual-only mode, the panel reports a fault if the door is closed and the
door fault delay expires
When the system is in extinguishing activation or extinguishing released states,
no matter which operating mode, the panel reports a fault if the door is open.

Connecting a remote reset device
The remote reset input allows the control panel to be reset from a remote
location. The reset operation is the same as using the Reset button on the
control panel user interface.
Note: EU ordinances and regulations require the use of a key switch to control
access to this function.
The remote reset is executed when the input device switches from deactivated to
activated. See “Input and output specifications” on page 81 for the impedance
values for this unsupervised input.
