8 ZP2-A Series Operation Manual
Control/LED
LED colour Description
Sounder Start/Stop
button and LED
Red
The LED indicates what happens when the button is
pressed:
If the LED is on (flashing or steady), pressing the
button silences the sounders.
If the LED is off, pressing the button activates the
sounders (if the control panel status and operating
mode allow manual activation of sounders).
The LED also indicates the status of the sounders:
•
Steady indicates that sounders are active (or will
be activated shortly)
• Flashing indicates that a delay is counting
(sounders are activated when the configured
delay elapses or when the delay is cancelled)
• Off indicates that the sounders are off (or will be
deactivated shortly)
To prevent the immediate silencing of sounders
when an alarm is first reported, the Sounder
Start/Stop button may be temporarily blocked when
a configured sounder delay is counting down. For
more information, see “Stopping sounders or
restarting stopped sounders” on page 26.
Depending on the size of the installation, processing
commands to start or stop sounders may take a few
seconds to travel through the system. This is why,
for example, the LED may be steady but sounders
may not initially be audible.
Panel Silence button and
LED
Yellow Silences the buzzer.
A steady LED indicates that the buzzer has been
silenced.
Reset button and LED Yellow Resets the control panel and clears all current
system events.
A steady LED indicates that the control panel can be
reset in the current access level.

LED indicates a disablement or a test.

10 ZP2-A Series Operation Manual
Sounder, fire routing, and fire protection indications
The control panel may be configured by your installer to have several sounder,
fire routing, or fire protection groups. As groups of a single type may not always
share the same status, the front panel indications for the corresponding group
type display the general status for all groups. In the case of conflicting status, the
highest priority status is displayed.
Note: For evacuation panels, indications for operations associated with the
programmable buttons use the corresponding programmable button LEDs.
The following examples illustrate this operation.
There are three sounder groups, the first in fault status, the second in delayed
status, and the third in activated status. The sounder LED indications display the
fault status of the first group, the delay status of the second group, and the
activated status of the third group.
There are two fire routing groups, the first is in activated status and the second is
in acknowledged status. The fire routing indication displays the acknowledged
status but not the activation status (the acknowledgement status takes priority).
For more information on your control panel configuration and indications, contact
your installation or maintenance contractor.
System Fault LED indication – maximum limit for event type reporting
A maximum limit of 512 events applies to each type of reported event (alarm,
zone alarm, fault, condition, etc.). This limit applies at panel level and per system
(including repeater panels).
The control panel indicates a System Fault when one or more event types
exceed the maximum limit (the fire panel continues to operate during the System
Fault indication).
A “System Overload” event is added to the Event log when one or more event
type exceeds the maximum limit.
Reset the control panel to clear the System Fault indication and reset the event
limit (see “Resetting the control panel” on page 25).

• If the panel ID does not match the local ID, then the event is reported by the
remote control panel with the panel ID indicated.
Acoustic indicators
The control panel uses the following acoustic indicators to highlight system
events.
Caution: The information in the table below describes the default buzzer
configuration – the installer may have configured your control panel so that the
buzzer does not activate for some event types.
