which activate its outputs.
Out of service is indicated as follows:
• Out of Service LED: On steady.
• Supply Fault LED: Flashing if there is no mains power and the battery voltage
is insufficient. On steady if the mains power is insufficient and no battery
power is detected.
• Control panel buzzer: Sounding intermittent.
When power is re-established the control panel returns to its former status.
Note: When the control panel indicates out of service, your fire alarm system is
partly inactive and your site is not properly protected. Contact your installation or
maintenance contractor immediately to investigate the problem.

ZP1-F Series Operation Manual 13
Control panel operation
User levels
For your safety, access to some features of this product are restricted by user
levels. The access privileges of each user level are described below.
Public user
The public user level is the default user level.
This level allows basic operational tasks to respond to fire alarms and/or faults at
the control panel. No password is required.
See “Public user level operation” below for more information.
Operator user
The operator user level allows additional operating tasks that command the
system or perform maintenance actions. It is reserved for authorized users who
have been trained to operate the control panel.
The default password for the operator/maintenance user is 2222.
See “Operator user level operation” on page 16 for more information.
This is a restricted user level protected by password security. To enter the
operator user level, enter the corresponding password using the numeric keypad,
and then press Enter.
A long beep and a steady Reset LED indicate that the correct password was
entered and that the operator user level is active. Three short beeps
accompanied by a flashing General Fault LED indicate that an incorrect
password was entered.
The control panel automatically exits the operator user level and reverts to the
public user level after 5 minutes if no button is pressed.
Note: The control panel is available with an access key option. The key switch is
located on the panel cover. With this option, either the key or the password can
be used to enter the operator user level.
Public user level operation
Public user level operations are those that can be performed by any user. No
password is required to perform tasks at this level.
Public user level operation lets you:
• Acknowledge a system event and silence the control panel buzzer
• Cancel an active sounder (or evacuation for NBN S 21-100) delay
• Cancel an active fire routing (or warning for NBN S 21-100) delay
• Perform a control panel LED and buzzer test
• Display local indications only (for control panels with repeater functionality)

14 ZP1-F Series Operation Manual
Acknowledging a system event and silencing the control panel buzzer
To acknowledge a system event and silence the control panel buzzer, press the
Panel Silence button.
A steady Panel Silence LED indicates that the buzzer was silenced and that all
current events are acknowledged.
Cancelling an active sounder delay (or evacuation delay for NBN S 21-100)
If a sounder delay (or evacuation delay for NBN S 21-100) is enabled and active,
press the Sounder Delay button (or Evacuation Delay button for NBN S 21-100)
to cancel the delay and activate sounders immediately.
Sounders (for EN 54-2 evacuation) and evacuation (for NBN S 21-100) can
cancel the delay and activate sounders immediately by pressing the Sounder
Start/Stop button (or evacuation Start/Stop button for NBN S 21-100).
A sounder delay (or evacuation delay for NBN S 21-100) is indicated as follows:
• Steady Sounder Delay LED (or Evacuation Delay LED for NBN S 21-100): A
delay is enabled.
• Flashing Sounder Delay LED (or Evacuation Delay LED for NBN S 21-100)
during a fire alarm: A configured delay is active (sounders are activated when
the configured delay elapses or when the delay is cancelled).
A fire alarm activated by a manual call point overrides any configured delay and
activates sounders immediately.
Cancelling an active fire routing delay (or warning delay for NBN S 21-100)
If a fire routing delay (or warning delay for NBN S 21-100) is enabled and active,
press the Fire Routing ON button (or Warning Start/Stop button for
NBN S 21-100) or the Fire Routing Delay button (or Warning Delay button for
NBN S 21-100) to cancel the delay and activate fire routing (or warning for
NBN S 21-100) immediately.
A fire routing delay (or warning delay for NBN S 21-100) is indicated as follows:
• Steady Fire Routing Delay LED (or Warning Delay LED for NBN S 21-100): A
delay is enabled.
• Flashing Fire Routing Delay LED (or Warning Delay LED for NBN S 21-100)
during a fire alarm: A configured delay is active. Fire routing (or warning for
NBN S 21-100) is activated when the configured delay elapses or when the
delay is cancelled.
A fire alarm activated by a manual call point overrides any configured delay and
activates fire routing (or warning for NBN S 21-100) immediately.
Performing a control panel LED indicator and control panel buzzer test
To perform a control panel LED indicator and buzzer test, press and hold the
Test button for more than 3 seconds.

ZP1-F Series Operation Manual 15
The test is indicated as follows:
• General Fault LED: Flashing.
• System Fault LED: Flashing.
• All other LEDs: On steady.
• Control panel buzzer: Sounding continuous.
The test continues as long as the Test button remains pressed (with an
automatic timeout of 12 seconds). When the test is completed the control panel
returns to its former state.
Note: Devices connected to the control panel fault relay will also be activated for
the duration of this test.
Displaying local indications only
For control panels connected in a fire network and with repeater functionality, an
indication is activated if any control panel in the network being repeated has the
feature activated. For zone indications which are global in the fire network, it is
not required to repeat other control panels to show their zone indications.
Therefore all control panels display the local and remote information. If you need
to show only local status in a control panel:
• Press the Enter button for at least 3 seconds.
• A steady Networking Fault LED indicates network remote indications are
disabled momentarily.
• Only local information is shown for 30 seconds. After this time, the
Networking Fault LED turns off and the control panel shows global (local and
remote) information according to its configuration.
Example 1
If you have a 16-zone conventional system with two 8-zone conventional control
panels where both panels repeat each other, and you need to identify which
panel has a supply fault you should press Enter for 3 seconds. The control panel
without the supply fault will turn off the supply fault indication.
Example 2
If you have a 16-zone conventional system with two 8-zone conventional control
panels which are not repeating each other, then one panel has a zone range of 1
to 8 and the other panel has a zone range of 8 to 15. Sharing zone 8 will allow
activating outputs of one control panel with events of zone 8 in the other panel.
If there is a defective device causing false alarms in zone 8 of panel 1, you can
disable it and keep some detection active (zone 8 of panel 2 operational). The
zone 8 yellow LED will activate in both panels. Afterwards, an alarm in zone 8 of
panel 2 will cause both panels to activate and the zone 8 red and yellow LEDs in
both panels will be active.
Pushing Enter for 3 seconds in panel 1 will cause the red LED indication of zone
8 to disappear, indicating that the control panel has zone 8 disabled. At this point,

you will know the alarm is from zone 8 of panel 2. You can confirm this by
pushing Enter for 3 seconds in panel 2. In this case, the yellow LED indication
disappears.
