ZP3 Fire Control Panel Installation, Commissioning, and Maintenance Manual iii
This manual is intended for use by the personnel who install and commission the
ZP3 Fire Control Panel, and has been prepared in accordance with ZP3
operating software version 3.12.
Advisory messages alert you to conditions or practices that can cause unwanted
results. The advisory messages used in this document are shown and described
below.
Warning messages advise you of hazards that could result in injury
or loss of life. They tell you which actions to take or to avoid in order to prevent
the injury or loss of life.
Caution messages advise you of possible equipment damage. They tell
you which actions to take or to avoid in order to prevent the damage.
Note messages advise you of the possible loss of time or effort. They
describe how to avoid the loss. Notes are also used to point out important
information that you should read.
Trained service personnel must carry out procedures in this manual.
The ZP3 panel is powered from a 230 VAC primary supply and from a 24 VDC
battery backup supply.
The power supply forms part of the main board assembly. This
assembly consists of a circuit board (incorporating the power supply), mounted
on a metal chassis, with the power supply covered by a metal enclosure. The
enclosure must not be opened, and non-authorized persons must never remove
the circuit board from the chassis. Very high voltage potentials exist on the circuit
board, and disassembling any part of the power supply could be dangerous to
field personnel.
Connection to the 230 VAC primary supply (+10%, í15%), must comply with
National wiring regulations. The wiring must be permanently connected to the
building wiring through a 10 A, 3-core cable, and a double pole 10 A isolation
switch.

iv ZP3 Fire Control Panel Installation, Commissioning, and Maintenance Manual
The primary supply must be wired to the correct terminals as follows:
• Live = Brown
• Neutral = Blue
• Earth = Green/Yellow
The earth wire MUST be connected for each installation.
• The incoming mains fuse only breaks the live connection.
• Dangerous potential remains on the incoming terminals even when the fuse is
removed.
• Dangerous potentials can also exist at other locations on the PCB even with
mains and battery disconnected.
• The backup batteries, although at only 24 VDC, carry enough charge to be
dangerous.
• When connecting batteries, or when working in the vicinity of the battery
terminals, take care not to accidentally cause a short circuit. In particular
metallic tools or metallic watchstraps can also inflict
' ( ) ( * (
burns to the user
as well as cause a short circuit.
The backup batteries contain substances that are potentially hazardous
to your health and to the environment.

[1] This is the output voltage available to provide power to auxiliary boards, such as sounder
output boards. It must not be used to power devices not related to the fire system. With the mains
on it is regulated at 24 to 29 VDC, and with the mains off it provides battery voltage, which is
approximately 3 V lower than the battery voltage when a full load (4 A) is connected. As a safety
feature, line device analogue information is ignored by the panel at very low input voltages.
Battery voltages from 19 to 21 V (and lower depending on the current being drawn) cause the
panel to display the message “Fire detection inactive”.
[2] This is the total power supply capability, used for all panel and user operations. The peak
current is only available for short periods of time, not exceeding 30 minutes.
[3] Maximum current used internally by the panel, excluding detectors and external devices.
[4] After deducting panel operation and battery charging requirements, the current remaining is
available for use by external devices such as detectors, accessory boards and sounders. This is
the maximum current available while the system is in a non fire alarm condition.
[5] In a fire alarm condition, the battery charging is disconnected. Therefore, in a fire condition,
additional current is available for external fire alarm devices only, such as sounders.

The display of information is designed to comply with the requirements of
EN 54-2. In addition to alarms and events being reported on the text screen, they
are also indicated on zone lamps where applicable. Operation of controls is
structured by access level, with four levels being provided. The printer is an
optional item.
The ZP3 fire control panel (see Figure 4) is of modular design so that it can be
configured for any required application. It consists of a basic panel, which is fully
functional, and available in three models, one-loop, two-loop, and four-loop. The
basic panel operates as a complete system without any extras.

Figure 4 shows the basic fire panel. The elements shown provide all required
functions, and form the core of the ZP3 panel. No optional I/O modules or printer
are shown in this illustration. Three communication boards are fitted.
Figure 5 shows the internal features of the basic ZP3 panel with additional detail.
All components are carried on two main modules; the internal chassis holds the
main board and processor board, and the door assembly holds the display board,
the zone board, the keyboard, and the Zport 1 connection.

The panel is divided into three main modules, namely the chassis, the door
assembly, and the cabinet. The basic electrical installation can be carried out
using the cabinet only, which has the required conduit entry points at the top and
back. Optional hardware is available for different installation requirements.
Figure 6 shows all the main features of the ZP3 panel main chassis assembly.
This unit comprises the line drivers, the I/O circuitry, the control circuits, the
power supply, and the plug-in central processing unit (CPU).
