ZP3 Fire Alarm Control Panel Installation Manual v
General warnings and precautions
Trained service personnel must carry out procedures in this manual.
The control panel is powered from a 230 VAC primary supply and from a 24 VDC
battery backup supply.
WARNING: Electrocution hazard. To avoid personal injury or death from
electrocution, remove all sources of power and allow stored energy to discharge
before installing or removing equipment.
Primary supply
WARNING: 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%, −15%), 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.
The primary supply must be wired to the correct terminals as follows:
• Live = Brown
• Neutral = Blue
• Earth = Green/Yellow
Note: The earth wire MUST be connected for each installation.
Cautions
• 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.

vi ZP3 Fire Alarm Control Panel Installation Manual
Backup battery supply
Caution: Risk of explosion if the battery is replaced by an incorrect type.
For recommended batteries, see Chapter 10 “Technical specifications”
on page 161.
WARNINGS
• 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 severe burns to the user
as well as cause a short circuit.
Caution: The backup batteries contain substances that are potentially hazardous
to your health and to the environment.

Panel construction
Modular format
The control panel is of modular design so that it can be configured for any
required application. The basic panel operates as a complete system without any
extras. See Table 2 on page 2 for a complete list of the available panels.
Figure 3: Modular construction of the panel
Figure 3 shows the basic fire panel. The elements shown provide all required
functions, and form the core of the panel. No optional I/O modules or printer are
shown in this illustration. Up to three communication boards may be fitted.

The main chassis is removed from the panel by removing the four securing
screws.
WARNING: Once removed, the main chassis should not be dismantled, as very
high voltage exists below the circuit board, and can be present even when mains
is off, or the unit is removed from power. There are no field-serviceable parts in
the assembly.
Door assembly
Figure 6 shows all the main features of the Door Assembly. This unit comprises
the panel display and control electronics as well as the keyboard, a serial

Built-in communication port
RS-232 built-in serial port
The built-in RS-232 port is used to connect the panel to an external computer for
the purpose of uploading or downloading the panel’s configuration program.
Configuration programming is normally done on a PC using Planner (the Planner
for Windows programme) and then loaded into the panel at the site via a portable
PC.
Note: The preferred baud rate settings when using Planner to configure the
control panel are shown in Table 3 below.
Table 3: Baud rate settings
Baud rate Data bits Parity Stop bits
Receive
38400 8 Even 1
Send
9600 8 Even 1
Alternatively you can set Z-Port 1 to ZCP3 to allow control directly from Planner.
The protocol is RS-232, with a three-wire connection as shown in Figure 9. This
port shares internal lines with Z-Port 1a, and consequently the D-plug connection
to the ZP3AB-RS232 board must be physically disconnected before using the
built-in port.

RS-232 is officially specified as having a maximum cable length of 10 metres.
The connecting cable must be screened, and must be made-up as per Figure 9.
Alternatively, a standard null modem cable can be used.
Setup
The RS-232 built-in serial port (Z-port 1) must be configured and must be set to
match the communications parameters of the PC and program being used.
Access the communications parameters menu using the following menu path:
Setup > System Configuration > Peripheral Comms > Comms Parameters
The following screen is displayed.
