Introduction
Electro Detectors has been manufacturing radio fire alarm systems since 1987 and with the
introduction of a harmonised specification for Europe has complemented its range of products to meet
EN54 Part 25. Based on the popular Zerio system, the Zerio Plus has been designed to be capable of
handling 240 devices in 100 zones. Typical installations would include small offices, private houses,
HMO’s, guesthouses and small hotels.
This manual contains information to enable an engineer to install, service and operate the Zerio Plus
control panel and the range of Zerio Plus devices. This product should be installed, commissioned and
maintained by qualified service personnel in accordance with codes of practice, statutory requirements
and IEE regulations for electrical equipment in buildings.
The system has been designed to allow very simple set up, with a user friendly menu structure and full-
text capability. There is no need to connect devices with a programming lead, as configuration is
achieved by radio. Text locations can be entered on the panel itself or by connecting a standard USB
keyboard to the panel.
Devices for the system are visually the same as the standard Millennium and Zerio devices. These
devices are not compatible with the Millennium or Zerio range of fire alarm equipment. A list of
devices available for use with this system can be found on the back page.
Prior to installation, the building where the system is to be installed must be surveyed to ensure that
each device to be fitted has a good radio communication path to the control or booster panel. This is
done with an EDA-Z5000 survey kit. When installing devices, they must be positioned as per the survey.
Installing a device even a few inches from the surveyed position can affect the signal strength
significantly, especially if any metalwork is contained in the ceiling above the new position (e.g. air-
conditioning ducting).
IMPORTANT
Failure to perform an accurate survey could result in the system being unreliable. These
errors can be costly to correct.
Position the panel where it is to be installed.
Ensure devices are surveyed for their exact positions touching the ceiling or wall.
A few inches either side may substantially affect the signal strength.
In order to have an accurate survey the batteries in the survey detector should be
changed at least once a year.

2.0 - Installation
The electronic components within the panel are vulnerable to electrostatic discharges. It is advisable
to wear a wrist strap designed to prevent the build-up of static charges within the body before
handing any electronic components. Do not remove or unplug any components while the panel is
powered up.
Mounting
The panel should be mounted on a wall in a suitable position as recommended by BS5839 Part 1. If
fitted, the antenna should be away from any solid objects, especially electronic equipment and metal
structures. The wall should be even, clean and dry and not prone to vibration. Should the wall not be
level, the panel should be mounted on a wooden board. The temperature should be in the range of -
5oC to +35oC and the humidity should not exceed 95%. Mount the panel using 3 x No. 10 screws of a
suitable length, and ensure washers (supplied) are used to meet the IP30 rating. The smaller washer
(25mm diameter) is to be used for the mounting hole next to the PSU.
Cabling
A 230V AC 50Hz supply capable of providing 500mA with a
minimum diameter of 7mm and a maximum diameter of 10.5mm
should be derived from a separate fused spur. This spur should not
incorporate a switch and should be labelled ‘Fire Alarm Equipment
–Do Not Switch Off’. A cable conforming to BS5839, with a core
cable size no greater than 2.5mm2should be used. Always ensure
that the mains supply is completely isolated before working on
any mains rated components.
Cables should only enter the panel housing through the knockouts provided. Do not remove more
knockouts than is needed to terminate the cables, as additional apertures in the panel will compromise
the ingress protection requirements of EN54-2/4. A nylon M20 IP66 cable gland should be used. The
cable should be connected to the terminal block as labelled from above with the Live (brown)
connected to the top terminal, the Earth (green/yellow) to the middle and the Neutral (blue) to the
bottom. Care should be taken to ensure no loose strands protrude from the terminal block and that the
wire insulation is trimmed to the correct length so that no exposed wire is left visible. Any earth cables
should not be removed.
Once the connection has been made, the panel fuse (3.15A ceramic T type) should be removed from
the panel by pulling on the fuse holder. The fused spur can then be energised. To power up the panel,
insert the fuse holder with the correct value of fuse fitted. As there is a high inrush current there is
likely to be a spark produced. This is normal. Mains power should always be applied prior to
connecting the standby battery. Once the mains supply has been applied, the green LED on the
bottom edge of the processor board should begin to flash once a second. The system normal screen
will be displayed.
Connections to the panel inputs should be made using fireproof 2 core cable with a core diameter of
1.0mm2. A nylon M20 IP66 cable gland should be used. The Fire Routing & Sounder circuits should be
connected using a fireproof 2 core cable conforming to BS5839. A suitable core diameter should be
used depending on the loading of the circuit. The Panel has been type approved to IP rating IP30.

Battery
In order to meet EN54 Part 4, a Yuasa NP7-12 lead
acid battery should be fitted. This will give a 72
hour standby, assuming no external equipment (eg
wired antennas) has been added. If only 24 hours
standby is required and no external equipment has
been fitted then a 12V 2.8Ahr battery could be
fitted. Connect the battery using the supplied
terminal connections. The red wire is +12V and the
black wire is 0V. Do not confuse the colour of the
terminal connectors. Once connected, the Reset
button on the keypad can be pressed. If ‘Battery
Fault’ appears; check the connections and polarity. If the battery is connected incorrectly it is likely that
the fuse will blow. The wiring should be corrected and the fuse replaced.
The PSU will only charge batteries measuring 10.5V and above. This is a requirement of EN54-4 to cut
off charging at a point recommended by the battery manufacturer. Batteries measuring less than 10.5V
are regarded by the system as faulty and will not be charged. A ‘Battery Fault’ will be displayed on
screen. If the battery voltage is below 10.5V it will need to be removed from the panel to be charged
and reconditioned, or replaced. The battery voltage can be viewed on the PSU Info section of the 6.5 –
Panel Info menu.
When replacing the battery always do so with a product of equal specification. Always dispose of
batteries responsibly. Never dispose of batteries in general waste. If unsure contact your local
authority for guidance.
Antenna (if fitted)
The standard helical stub antenna
supplied with the panel should be
fitted to the antenna bracket
assembly before it is mounted into
the panel. Fit the antenna onto the
SMA connector as shown below.
This should be screwed hand tight.
Over tightening will cause the
antenna to break. The supplied
antenna retaining washer should
then be placed over the top of the
antenna. The antenna and bracket assembly should then be inserted through the antenna aperture
and mounted using the supplied M3 screw and an M3 serrated locking washer. Once mounted, the
antenna retaining washer prevents the stub antenna being unscrewed from outside the panel. Connect
the antenna assembly to the main processor board using the SMA connector. If a high gain remote
antenna is being used, the stub antenna and the antenna bracket assembly should be removed. The
new antenna should be fitted using a 50ΩSMA connector, suitable for use with RG58 c/u coaxial cable,
to the processor board. Cable runs should conform to the relevant sections of BS5839 and EN54. When
making off the cable, ensure that no stray shielding wires are shorting. Do not use non-radio
connectors as they will reduce the performance of the panel.

PCB Layout
Monitored Inputs
The panel features two monitored inputs that can be programmed either as latching or non-latching. It
is important to note that before using these inputs they must be enabled by programming them in the
panel options menu. If the inputs are enabled then 4K7Ωend of line resistors must be fitted at the
termination. Applying a 470Ωresistor across the inputs will produce a ‘Fire’ message. The inputs are
labelled ‘INPUTS’ and ‘No1’ and ‘No2’. These inputs can be assigned a zone and text location, and then
cause and effects can be programmed for them. See 6.15 –Input Options for further information.
RS-485 Connections
The RS485 connectors are used for wiring hardware to the panel such as extra antennas or a secondary
display. A suitable data cable should be used with 2 sets of twisted pairs. Cat 5/5e/6 can be used but is
not fire rated. Wired antennas and displays have two RS485 connectors, making it possible to make a
chain of up to 4 units. On the last unit in any chain, a 100R resistor should be fitted across the D- and
D+ terminals of the unused RS485 connection. If one of the control/booster panel RS485 ports is
unused then a 100R should be fitted between D- and D+. If none of the panel RS485 ports are used
then there is no need to fit the 100R resistor. The RS485 ports are capable of supplying 500mA at 15V.
The use of this facility is not permitted for an EN54-2 compliant system.

Panel Relays
The panel is equipped with four programmable relays, each capable of supplying 500mA. The total
current draw across all four relays must not exceed 1A. The default relay types are:
Relay 1: Fire Routing Relay - This activates on an alarm condition. It switches 12V onto the output and
is monitored for short and open circuit, with a 4K7ΩEOL. The circuit should be connected between the
C and the NO terminals. The fuse should be fitted and the links put in the lower position.
Relay 2: Fault Failsafe Relay - This energises on power-up and de-energises in fault. Consequently the
normally open and normally closed terminals are reversed. The fuse should be removed and the links
fitted in the upper position as shown on the PCB layout diagram.
Relays 3 & 4: Sounder Circuits - These are each capable of supplying 500mA at 12V. Both the sounder
circuit fuses should be fitted in the fuse holders and the links fitted in the left or lower positions as
shown on the PCB layout diagram. The circuit should be connected between the S+ and the S-
terminals. A 4K7Ωend of line resistor should be fitted to monitor the circuit.
The relays can be configured as sounder circuits, monitored outputs or volt free clean contact relays.
The relay type can be changed in 6.8 –User Options and by positioning the jumper links and fuses as
detailed below. When relays are configured as fire routing or as sounder circuits, the associated
terminal pin (V+) must not be used. Only the default relay types have been type approved.
Display Cable
A ribbon cable connects the two panel boards together. It should be connected to the system link/bus
connections on the boards. Do not remove or connect the ribbon cable while the panel is powered
up, as damage can occur to the processor board.
Buzzer Link
The buzzer can be disabled by removing the buzzer link (see page 6 –PCB Layout). Note that when the
buzzer is disabled, the system will not comply with EN54.
Memory Card
The memory card stores a complete set of the system settings including device/zone text and options.
The memory card should be fitted at all times unless instructed by the panel (i.e. when adding a
repeater panel).
USB Socket
The USB socket can be used for connecting a keyboard to program device text. It is also used to plug in
a memory stick to download the event log, device info and the verify table so a hardcopy can be
retained for records.

4.0 - User Operation
4.1 - System Normal
In normal operation the screen will show either the date and time,
or the supplier/service contact details. The unit can also be
configured to alternate between the two. If configured this way, the
display will change every 4 seconds. See 6.4 –Programming Agent
Details. Also a single green ‘Supply’ LED will be illuminated.
4.2 - Fault Conditions
If a fault occurs, the internal buzzer will sound and a message will
be displayed. The first line details the current fault number, the
zone and the type of fault. The second line details the device type
and the device number. The third and fourth lines display the device
location text (if programmed). The description has a maximum
length of 40 characters across 2 lines. Appropriate action should be
taken to remedy the fault as this may affect the operation of the fire alarm system. If in doubt, the
system maintenance company should be contacted. If more than one fault exists on the system they
will scroll round every 5 seconds. Pressing the ↑ or ↓cursor key will display the next or previous fault.
4.3 - Silence Buzzer
If the panel buzzer is sounding following a fault or alarm, it can be silenced with the Silence Buzzer key.
Once the Silence Buzzer button has been pressed the panel assumes that the fault has been
acknowledged and does not re-sound the buzzer, unless a new fault occurs. The LED on the device will
continue to flash until the fault is reset –see below.
4.4 - Reset a Fault
A fault will be displayed on the panel until the system is reset, even
if the fault condition has been rectified. Assuming the fault has
been rectified; pressing Reset on the panel and entering an access
code using the navigation keys will reset the panel and the devices
on which the fault has occurred. The system normal screen will then
be displayed. If the fault is still present or re-occurs, it will be re-displayed. Where there are multiple
faults, all will be reset at the same time. It is not necessary to silence a fault before resetting it. The
particular device or devices in fault will also flash a green LED and beep. The system can be silenced
and reset without an access code by turning off ‘Code Protect’; see 6.9 –System Options.
4.5 - Alarm Conditions
In a fire condition, a screen similar to this will be displayed. The fire
LEDs will flash and the zones in alarm LED(s) will be illuminated.
Assuming the system is programmed to do so, the system sounders
will be activated and the routing active LED will illuminate. The first
line of the display shows the event number and the zone number.
The second line details the device type and its number. If the device location has been programmed
into the panel, it will be displayed on the third and fourth lines. Scroll through multiple alarms using
the ↑and ↓keys.

4.6 - Silence the Alarm
When it is certain that it is safe to return to the building the Silence Alarm button should be pressed.
The user will then be prompted to enter a valid user access code using the navigation keys. Up to 30
seconds should then be allowed for all sounders to silence. If a device is still in an alarm condition the
sounders will not sound again unless another device goes into alarm. If an alarm is left unsilenced, the
sounders will turn off automatically after 30 minutes. The system can be silenced and reset without an
access code by turning off ‘Code Protect’; see 6.9 –System Options.
4.7 - Re-sound the Sounders
There may be times when the sounders have been mistakenly silenced –for example if the alarm was
genuine but someone pressed silence. The Re-Sound Alarm button followed by a valid access code will
activate the sounders again.
4.8 - Reset the Alarm
Assuming the reason for the alarm condition has been investigated; pressing Reset after silencing the
alarm will return the system to its normal operation screen and reset the devices that prompted the
alarm. The user will be prompted to enter a valid access code using the navigation keys. The system
can be silenced and reset without a code by turning off ‘Code Protect’; see 6.9 –System Options.
If a device has remained in alarm (i.e. the glass has not been replaced in a callpoint or a smoke detector
detects smoke is still inside the unit) after silencing the alarm and pressing Reset, the panel will
redisplay the alarm and the sounders will sound again.
4.9 - Access Levels
The panel is protected from misuse by means of four access levels. The access levels are as follows:
Level 1 Untrained user

6.6 - Set up a New System (Standard) –commissioning users
1.Main Menu>>1.Setup>>4.System Setup>>2.New Setup>>1.Standard System
Devices are programmed via a radio link to the control panel. If
the system is known to have been used before then all the devices
that are logged on to the system must be removed first. To add or
remove devices on a system that is already set up; see 6.29 –Add
Device and 6.30 –Remove Device.
Press Enter to start. You will be asked if you would like to put the
system into test mode (see 8.0 –Test Mode). Select YES or NO and
press Enter. The control panel will now check the airwaves for any
radio interference and select a suitable channel for the system.
Press Enter to continue. Select the antenna type. At the Device
Programming screen, the device needs to be put into
programming mode. First remove the device from its base.
1. If a smoke detector, heat detector or combined sounder
detector is being programmed; hold both the reset button
and the unit removal button down while you place the
jumper link to the ON position.
2. If a sounder, beacon, callpoint, transmitter or I/O unit is
being programmed; hold down the unit removal button
while holding a magnet over the reed switch and place the
jumper link to the ON position. Some newer devices are
equipped with a log on button and do not require the
magnet to log on; simply hold down the button while the
jumper link is moved to the ON position.
Continue to hold the button(s) for approximately 5 seconds until a
confirmation of 3 beeps from the device is heard. The LED on the
device will now flash green. The device is now in its programming
mode. Press Enter on the panel to search for the device and follow
the prompts to set the device options. When complete press Enter
to program the device.
Once the device has restarted you will be asked to enter location text; see 6.33 –Device Text. Text can
be added at any time. Devices can be added at any time in the Device Setup menu.
If the system has booster panels or additional antennas fitted, an auto assignment for all devices
should be performed once all devices have been added. See 6.20 –Device Assignment.
