Procedures in this manual should only be carried out by Trained Service Personnel.
The ZP3 panel is powered from a 230 volt AC primary supply and from a 24 volt DC battery backup
supply.
Primary Supply
Connection to the 230 volt AC primary supply (+10%: -15%), must comply with National wiring
regulations. The wiring shall be permanently connected to the building wiring through a 10 amp 3 core
cable, and a double pole 10 amp isolation switch.
Care must be taken to wire the primary supply to the correct terminals:
Live = Brown
Neutral = Blue
Earth = Green/Yellow
The earth wire must NOT be omitted.
The incoming mains fuse only breaks the live connection. Be aware that even when the fuse is
withdrawn, there remains dangerous potential on the incoming terminals. It should also be noted that
dangerous potentials can exist at other locations on the PC board even with mains and battery
disconnected.
Back-up Battery Supply
The back-up batteries, although at only 24 volts DC, carry enough charge to be dangerous.
Care must be taken when connecting batteries, or when working in the vicinity of the battery terminals,
to not accidentally cause a short circuit. In particular metallic tools or metallic watch straps, is causing
an accidental short circuit, can cause burns to the user.

1.1 The ZP3 System
1.1.1 Introduction
The ZP3 is a sophisticated intelligent fire detection system, designed for the protection of
both small and large buildings, as well as very large multi-building sites. It uses a modular
design, which allows scalability from single panel systems, through to large multi-panel
networked systems. A range of hardware and software is available which allows purpose-
made applications for all commercial and industrial sites.
ZP3 is an analogue addressable system based upon the Ziton ZP operating system.
It utilizes advanced fire and smoke sensing techniques, with intelligent software, which
accurately recognizes real fires, and provides early warning. Precision algorithms identify
and, in most cases, eliminate false alarms. The location of a fire is accurately identified.
The ZP3 system supports both wired and wireless (radio) sensors, callpoints, and other
devices, providing a high degree of flexibility. A system comprises one or more ZP3 control
panels, connected to fire and smoke sensors, and other equipment to provide all the
necessary functions. Modular hardware includes remote indicator panels, mimic panels,
local and remote inputs and outputs for interfacing to third-party equipment, and interfaces to
computer-based monitoring and building management systems. Highly configurable
software allows virtually any system requirement to be simply programmed as required. The
ZP3 system is suitable for both new buildings and existing installations.
The complete system is actively monitored on a continuous basis, and provides complete
reliability at all times. Self-maintenance and diagnostics are built-in.
ZP3 fire alarm panels are available in 1, 2 and 4 loop versions, supporting up to 508 sensors
per panel. Built-in peer-to-peer networking capability allows up to 100 panels and over
50,800 sensors to be connected together, providing scalability from small to very large
systems.
The complete ZP3 system is designed to comply with those parts of European Standard
EN54, which have been published. When setup in accordance with the appendix E to this
manual ZP3 panels comply with EN54 (parts 2 and 4), and sensors comply with EN54 (parts
5, 7, and 8). Other parts of the system comply with the appropriate parts of relevant National
Standards, such as BS5839.

1.1.2 Basic System Features
The ZP3 system incorporates a wide range of features and capabilities. These are
described in detail later in this manual. The following is a list of the basic features available.
• The ZP3 incorporates the proven ZP system of automatic contamination adjustment
for each sensor. This recalibrates each sensor as it becomes contaminated, and
provides a constant sensitivity even when sensors are dirty.
• Each sensor is individually adjustable for sensitivity, including different sensitivities for
day and night operation.
• Selectable alarm verification allows the time integration of each sensor to be set.
Analogue sensors provide pre-alarm, alarm, service, and diagnostic alarms.
• Every sensor is continuously checked by the panel for contamination, with automatic
alarm.
• The system supports both fire and non-fire monitoring functions.
• The ZP-loop provides for addressable loop-powered sounders, reducing wiring.
• Each panel supports up to 50 zones, optionally 128. Built-in zone LED's display up to
50 zones, and extender panels provide LED display up to 128 zones.
• Each panel has the capability for 896 programmable inputs and outputs, which can be
located with the panel, or remotely via serial connection.
• Flash memory retains all programming and data, even if the panel is powered-down.
Operation
The panel incorporates a simple and effective operator interface with 160-character LCD
display. Together with zone LED's and function LED's, these indications give a clear and
unambiguous indication of all alarms and reports. All control functions are menu driven, and
three access levels are protected by codes. A "help" button provides quick access to
operating instructions.

UD1160.1 Iss 6 (25/02/2005) Page 1 - 3 I1
Sensors and devices
A full range of single and combination analogue addressable sensors, including wired and
radio sensors, is supported. Manual call-points meet UK preferences, and respond in less
than 3 seconds. A range of input and output interface units allows the connection of third-
party equipment to the addressable ZP-loop.
The following features are contained in panel software SW71910 version 2.12 and 3.07.
1. Less than 3 second sounder response from a mapped call point: The panel now has a
less than three second response time in response to a call point operation. This is in
compliance with BS5839-1:2002 specification.
For guaranteed under three second sounder response from a mapped call point input
the user must adhere to the following when using panel software SW71910 version 2.12
and 3.07.
 The panel must be fitted with line driver software SW72001 version three. The call
point must be a version three type (ZP785-3).
 The sounder and the call point must be on the same panel. The detection zone and
alarm zone thus needs to be serviced by the same panel.
 For the output mapping the sounder output device must be defined as a sounder
type with the call point being the input trigger.
 For a ZP755 line sounder used as a behind detector sounder the output address
must be tagged as a SAB (sounder alarm base).
2. Type 54 emulated devices improved functionality: A type 54 emulated device can be
mapped to disable any other line device. This will be reported on the panel as an event
and be updated in the Event archive.
Maintenance features
A range of maintenance features simplifies and improves system maintenance. These
include status reports, contamination and near-service reports, operational statistics, and a
"zone walk-test" and "sounder-test". The system has the ability to manually, or automatically
by time, disable zones or individual points for maintenance purposes.
Remote Diagnostics
Remote diagnostics is available as an optional, enabling some or all maintenance functions
to be carried out from a remote location.
Automatic Diagnostics
Automatic diagnostics continuously monitor the system for correct operation. Features
include automatic checking of wiring and points; corrupt data detection, disconnection of
faulty or corrupt zones, automatic testing of sensor operation, and verification of sensor/zone
location. Sensors are automatically subjected to a self-test at regular intervals, and vital
elements of the system, such as the software configuration data and running data are
verified every hour.

Day/Night Capability
Day/Night control provides separate programmes for day and night modes. Different sensor
sensitivity, alarm selection, alarm evaluation delays, and fire brigade response can be
configured.
Configuration
An input/output programming facility allows any "cause-and-effect" requirement to be
configured. Each panel can have up to 896 outputs software linked to 2000 inputs in any
arrangement. All functions are 100% field programmable. This programming can be done
directly at the panel, or off-line at a computer. Flash memory retains all programming and
data, even if the panel is powered-down.
Communication and Integration
Multiple communication capability allows the panel to connect to printers, colour graphic
computers, building management systems, remote mimics and text displays, radio pagers,
and other systems. Simple integration into third-party systems is possible.
Peer-to-Peer Networking
The ZP3 peer-to-peer network enables up to 255 standalone systems (verified up to 100
systems) to be integrated to provide system-wide alarm reporting, co-ordinated evacuation,
cause-and-effect functionality, and control, for large systems and multi-building sites. The

1.1.6 System Operation
The ZP3 is a complete intelligent fire detection system designed to protect life and property.
It will detect the presence of a fire or smoke, raise local and remote alarms, indicate
accurately the location of the fire, call the fire brigade, and activate building systems to
prevent the spread of smoke, gases, and fire. It can also activate automatic fire
extinguishing systems.
The ZP3 system consists of a central panel, which is connected to various devices, located
throughout the protected building. These devices include fire and smoke sensors, manual
callpoints, alarm sounders, local and remote indicating panels; graphics display computers,
led mimic panels, and other devices. Also connected are interface connections to other
building systems, and connections to a fire brigade, or other remote manned centre.
Sensing devices are grouped into zones, and programmed with text-labels to indicate their
location.
The control panel continually checks every fire and smoke sensor, callpoint, and other
devices, attached to the ZP-loop, every 2 seconds. The precision data collected is analysed
to indicate the amount of smoke, heat and combustion products in the proximity of devices.
This information is constantly updated because of the active scanning process by the ZP3
panel. This provides an accurate picture of the area being monitored by the sensors,
enabling intelligent decisions to be made on the presence or not of fire, smoke, or invisible
products-of-combustion.
After making a decision that a fire exists, the ZP3 system initiates an alarm at the control
panel, displays the exact location by means of illuminated LED's and LCD text-display, and
illuminates the led on the initiating sensors or callpoints. It also issues pre-programmed
commands to operate area sounders, call the fire brigade, activate building controls such as
air-conditioning shutdown, and other actions. In addition it commands remote devices to
display the location and status of alarms, and to carry out programmed control functions.
Very high power processing capability allows any configuration to be programmed. In large
multi-panel systems, panels communicate with each other, display alarms from other areas,
and carry out commands issued by other panels.
