Preface
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 3.11.
General warnings and precautions
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.
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, 3core cable, and a double pole 10 A isolation switch.
The primary supply must be wired to the correct terminals as follows:
Note: The earth wire MUST be connected for each installation.
Live = Brown
Neutral = Blue
Earth = Green/Yellow
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.
ZP3 Fire Control Panel Installation, Commissioning and Maintenance Manual
Page xii REV 11 (ISS 08/03/2010)
Back-up battery supply
CAUTIONS:
The back-up batteries contain substances that are potentially hazardous to your
health and to the environment.
If the back-up batteries are replaced for any reason, the old batteries cannot be
disposed of as unsorted municipal waste in the European Union. See the product
documentation for specific battery information. The batteries are marked with this
symbol, which may include lettering to indicate cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb), or mercury
(Hg). For proper recycling, return the batteries to your local supplier or to a
designated collection point. For more information see: www.recyclethis.info.
WARNINGS:
THE BACK-UP 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.

Note 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 2429 VDC, and with the mains off it provides battery voltage, which will be 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”.
Note 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.
Note 3: Maximum current used internally by the panel, excluding detectors and external devices.
Note 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.
Note 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.

Built-in communication port
RS232 Built-in serial port
This port is used to connect the ZP3 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 the "Planner for Windows" programme, and then loaded into the panel on-site via a
portable PC. This port can also be used to upgrade the ZP3 panel software to a new version.
Note: The preferred baud rate settings when using Planner to configure a ZP3 panel are:
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 RS232, with a 3-wire connection as shown in Figure 10. This port shares internal
lines with "Port1a", and consequently the D-plug connection to the ZP3AB-RS232 board must be
physically disconnected before using the built-in port.
Figure 10: RS232 Built-in serial port
RS232 is officially specified as a maximum cable length of 10 metres, which is more than
adequate for ZP3/PC configuration functions. The connecting cable must be screened, and must
be made-up as per Figure 10. Alternatively, a standard null modem cable can be used.
ZP3 Fire Control Panel Installation, Commissioning and Maintenance Manual
REV 11 (ISS 08/03/2010) Page 17
Software setup
The RS232 built-in serial port (Zport1) must be configured in software, and must be set to match
the communications parameters of the PC and program being used.

ZP3AB-RS232 Serial communications board (Z-Port 1a)
This board (see Figure 13) is used to connect a ZP3 panel to an external device, such as a desktop
printer, a graphics display system, a building management system, modem, or a paging system.
The hardware protocol is a RS232, being a screened 5-wire connection. The RS232 board is
defined in the menus as Port1a, and different software protocols can be selected to match the
connected PC application. Communication parameters can be set in the setup menu.
Figure 13: ZP3AB-RS232 Serial communications board (Z-Port 1a)
RS232 is officially specified as a maximum cable length of 10 metres. However, if slower baud
rates are used, then it is possible to operate it at up to 50 metres. Cable must be screened, with at
least five (5) conductors, and must be made-up as shown in Figure 13.
Software setup
To be functional, the optional RS232 serial port (Zport1a) must be configured in software, and
must be set to match the communications parameters of the PC and program being used. Access
the communications parameters menu using the following path:

ZP3AB-NET1 Network board (Z-Port 2)
This board is used to connect a number of ZP3 panels into a peer-to-peer network. The hardware
protocol is a multi-drop RS485 screened two-wire connection. Although the ZP3AB-NET1 board is
capable of dual routing operation, ZP3 software does not support this feature, and the board
must be used as a single-channel device. In a network of ZP3 panels, one of the panels must have
the fail-safe links connected by connecting the jumpers as shown in Figure 15. All other panels
must have their jumpers removed. For long cable runs wiring should be terminated (using LK10)
at each end of the cable run, in addition to the LK8 and LK9 jumpers. In any case no more than
two terminating links (LK10) must be inserted.
Figure 15: ZP3AB-NET1 Network board (Z-Port 2)

Setup
The ZP3 panel can operate 63 remote display units. The address range for the RDU is 1 to 63,
which allows for up to 63 address options. The RDU is wired to the panel via the ZP3AB-SCB1 SCB
driver board.
Usage: Fit the ZP3AB-SCB1 board to the ZP3 panel using the interface marked 'RDU interface'.
Accept devices on the panel. The SCB software stream for the 71910 EN panel is SW72401. Once
the SCB driver board has been accepted the user can view the SCB driver software under
operator/reports to display. Configure the SCB online, this defines the number of RDUs that can
be connected to the panel.
Navigate to the following menu:
Setup/System configuration/peripheral comms/RDU/SCB on line
The address of an RDU may not be higher than the number of RDUs configured to be to online. If
this value is set to 32 then RDUs can be connected with addresses ranging from one to 32. This
number defines the valid RDU address numbers and not the amount of RDUs connected. All RDUs
that have addresses higher than the number entered for RDUs online will not have control
abilities.
If this number is set to 63, the address at the RDU can be set to any address from 1-63. If this
number is set to 1, only address 1 can be set on the RDU unit.
Remote display unit
When a RDU is configured as being online, it mimics the panel and also sends control information
back to the panel. To disable the RDU control, remove the controls enabled jumper fitted to the
RDU board. The RDU software stream for the 71910 EN panel is SW72201. Once the RDU has
been accepted the user can view the RDU software under operator/reports to display. If there are
ten RDUs accepted then this menu will have ten entries for RDUs.
Usage: The number selected on the address switch depends on the number of RDUs defined
online. As stated above, the number entered to define the amount of RDUs online defines the
maximum address number. Address switches 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 set the address in the standard
address switch format as used on the detectors, e.g. switches 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 set to ON represent
an RDU address of 62.

10. Connect 24 VDC power to the printer using the black and red ZP3 power lead.
11. Power up the panel and configure the printer on the ZP3 panel.
Once installed the printer must be configured to operate as required. It can be programmed to
print or suppress different types of messages (e.g. print "fire alarms", suppress "Disabled"
messages). This programming is done in the ZP3 panel "Setup" menu. See System configuration:
printer on page 75 for details.
Quick start
The following are a few guidelines to assist with familiarizing yourself with the key features, to
enable you to setup the panel as rapidly as possible.
The panel fascia contains a complete set of status LED's which give the current status of the ZP3
panel. Under normal operating conditions, all of these LED's should be off, and the buzzer should
be silent. Only the green "Power On" LED should be illuminated.
When testing a panel, always ensure that the Z-loops are correctly terminated in-to-out as per
the wiring drawing, and that all monitored outputs (sounders, monitored-inputs, etc,) are
terminated with the correct end-of-line resistor.
Make sure that at least one sensor or device is connected when testing a panel otherwise a fault
condition will occur.
Always power-up with sensors or devices attached to the Z-loops. Remember that the ZP3 panel
does not automatically accept sensors/devices added (or removed) afterwards, and a fault
condition results. To accept the addition or removal of sensors and devices, go to the menu
"Setup - Points – Accept - Points", and run the accept routine. This causes the panel to accept the
sensors and devices currently attached.
The commissioning key, which is located on the inside of the front door, has two positions,
‘normal’’ and ‘commission’. The commission position enables you to access the panel setup
menus via the keyboard. With the keyswitch in the commission position, the System Test LED on
the fascia flashes.
The internal buzzer operates to announce any events that occur. It provides the required output
level to be heard in all situations, with the door closed, and meets EN54-2 requirements for this.

Brief description
The installation of the ZP3 panel should follow the requirements of the jurisdiction authority. The
panel incorporates the operating controls and displays, and should consequently be located in an
accessible position, in close proximity to the persons who are expected to operate the system,
and respond to any alarms.
The panel is can be either surface mounting, or flush recessed mounted, with appropriate
hardware. Electrical conduit entry is from the top or from behind, and various options are
available. The simplest installation is when the panel is used as a 230 VAC model, with built-in
batteries. The use of external power supplies or batteries can change the installation criteria.
In some installations, the fascia of the panel is mounted in a security console, usually located in a
manned control room. In this case the panel can be located in a plant room, and a remote display
unit installed into the console. A full-function remote display unit provides all the display, control,
and menu access as the main panel, and is connected by a single twisted-pair screened cable.
CAUTIONS:
The panel must always be installed in its original cabinet, as supplied by Ziton.
Never operate the panel without its door or fascia.
Do not dismantle the chassis and components, and re-mount them into another metal
enclosure.
Do not change or extend internal ribbon cables, and do not run ribbon cables outside
of the ZP3 cabinet.
Failure to comply with the above cautions will void the guarantee and any product approvals. It
will also make the panel susceptible to EMC and other electrical noise. The ZP3 panel complies
with the requirements of the European CE-Mark for immunity to and emission of electrical
interference. This compliance is subject to the panel being operated in its original enclosure, and
installed and earthed correctly in accordance with this manual.
The first step when installing a ZP3 panel is to remove the main chassis, and remove the door
assembly, leaving the bare back-box for installation. This procedure is described under
Preparatory work on the next page. The box can then be prepared for mounting. Knock out the
required conduit entries, either on top or at the rear of the cabinet. Drill any additional holes, or
larger holes, as required. Note that cable entry can only be brought into the panel into the top
section as shown in the drawings later in this section.
Optional hardware in the form of various mounting kits is available to provide additional space
for systems with a large amount of wiring. These are shown in short-form in this section, and full
details can be obtained from the data sheets and application manuals available for these kits.
Note: The ZP3 fire panel is designed for mounting in an indoor location with a temperature range of -5°C - +40°C,
relative humidity of 95% RH, and in an area that is dry and free of condensation. Environmental rating is IP30.
CAUTION:
Do not drill, file, or carry out any metalwork on the cabinet with any of the circuit
boards installed in the cabinet. Metal filings will enter the circuit and could cause
severe damage.
WARNING:
THE WIRING CONNECTION TO THE EXTINGUISHANT CYLINDER ACTUATOR IS A LOW
IMPEDANCE CIRCUIT, WHICH CAN DRAW UP TO 1 A DURING ACTUATION. MAKE SURE
THAT WIRING TO THE ACTUATOR IS OF SUFFICIENT CAPACITY TO AVOID WIRING

Surface mounting
Figure 33 illustrates the main requirements for surface mounting of the ZP3 panel.
Figure 33: Surface mounting
Use appropriate mounting screws such as plastic rawl plugs, expansion anchors, etc. depending
on the type of wall. Use M4 screws at least 20 mm long. The mounting system must be able to
support a minimum weight of 20 kg, which is the total weight of the panel (with batteries).

Flush mounting
The ZP3 panel protrudes by only 10 mm when flush mounted. Two types of flush mounting kits
are available, as shown and described in Figure 34. Both use the same collar, and look the same
when installed.
Figure 34: Flush mounting
Flush mounting Collar
(without Backbox)
In this variation, the panel backbox is fitted
into the wall cavity, with careful alignment. It is
then conduited and wired. The flushing collar is
then fitted to aesthetically complete the
installation.
Flush mounting Collar (with Backbox)
In this variation, a special flushing-backbox is fitted into the wall
cavity, and all conduit and cables are brought into this box, and
terminated on terminals. This box therefore forms both a
recessed tray and terminal box. The ZP3 panel and flushing collar
are then fitted into the recessed tray. The advantage of this
system is that the wall cavity recessed box can be roughly
installed, and out of alignment. The system allows the panel and
collar to be perfectly aligned after installation.

Good practice
Applying good practice to your installation makes sure that the ZP3 system operates reliably and
trouble-free. These are simple actions, which assist with commissioning and also provide stable
long-term operation.
Earth connections
The panel must be connected to a secure earth point. Door earth straps and internal earth must
be connected. Take extra precautions for lightning areas.
Screen connections
All cable screens must be connected to the terminals provided. Do not cut-off screen tails or
leave screens floating.
Separation of wiring
Inside the panel, physically separate mains wiring, Z-loop wiring, and serial data wiring. The
flexible plastic separator, which isolates mains from low voltage wiring, must be positioned
correctly. Externally these cable groups should be run in separate conduits. See Appendix A: ZP
Wiring guide on page 99 for more details.
Good connections
Make sure that all connections are secure and tight, with a minimum of exposed copper cable to
prevent possible shorting to adjacent terminals.
Careful handling of electronics
Handle with extreme care when removing and replacing chassis and door assemblies. These are
high-precision electronic assemblies, and susceptible to damage if handled roughly.
Cleanliness
Before fitting electronic assemblies, make sure that the cabinet is clean and free from metal
filings, oil or moisture, all of which can damage electronic circuits.
Neatness
Installing wiring neatly and professionally make commissioning and maintenance simpler and
quicker.

Power supply
Mains supply
Refer to Figure 38. A terminal block (item 2) is located at the top right hand side of the fire panel
for connecting the mains supply. The terminal block incorporates a fuse holder (item 1) in the live
leg of the supply. A mains filter (item 3) is located next to the mains terminal block, which in turn is
wired to the power supply unit.
The front door of the panel is electrically connected to mains earth via earth straps.
When connecting the mains supply to the panel, make sure that the incoming power is from a
clean source that has a solid earth connection. Connecting the panel to a secure earth is very
important.

Make sure that the mains supply wiring is correctly connected. The wiring should be as short as
possible within the panel and should be kept away from Z-loop wiring, data cables, and other low
voltage wiring.

Auxiliary 24 VDC supply
See Figure 39. The 24 VDC output (“Supply Output” terminal – TB2 on the main board) is for use by
auxiliary equipment, such as programmable relay boards, sounder driver boards, etc. It can also
be used for providing power to devices such as remote display units, and similar peripheral
devices.
The current drawn from the auxiliary supply is a function of the system engineering. It depends
upon the load that has been allocated to the control panel for devices such as loop sounders,
common sounders, and control relays.
The output is fused at 5 A (Fuse F1).
Figure 39: Auxiliary 24 VDC supply
External power for accessory boards
Where the load required for optional accessory boards exceeds the capacity of the ZP3 power
supply, it is possible to power these boards from a separate external 24 VDC power supply as
shown in Figure 40. This external supply must meet the following criteria:
Output voltage must be in the range 22 - 28 VDC.
Output ripple must be a maximum of 200 mV (peak-peak).
Output ripple with full load must be a maximum of 500 mV peak.
Must comply with the requirements of European Standard EN54-4.
Output capacity must be adequate for the required load, even with batteries disconnected.
Incorporate standby batteries, sized to provide the required operating period.
The output must be suitably fused.
For reporting faults to the ZP3 fire panel, two voltage-free changeover contacts must be
provided, one signalling a mains failure, the other signalling a battery fault.
CAUTION:
Do not connect the 0-volts (negative supply) of the external power supply and the 0volts (negative supply) of the fire panel. The two power supply systems must remain
floating from each other.

Figure 40: Powering optional accessory boards from a separate external power supply
Monitoring external power
When using an external power supply unit, the failure of the mains supply, or the failure of the
batteries, charging system, or fuse, can be reported to the ZP3 fire panel, as shown below. The
power supply unit must incorporate two sets of voltage-free contacts, one which changes-over
on mains failure, the other which changes-over on battery fault (disconnected battery, low or
high voltage, etc), charger failure, or fuse failure. These contacts must be connected to the ZP3
main board terminals as shown in Figure 41. When the contact changes state, the fault is
reported to the ZP3 panel, which indicates the appropriate visual and audible alarm, as well as
signalling to the Remote Manned Centre.

Use the information provided in Table 5 to calculate the power supply and battery load
capacities. Record the results as shown in Table 6.
Power supply load calculation
Table 6: Power supply load calculation
Description Calculated load PSU capacity Pass Fail
Quiescent Amperes L1 1.2 A
Fire alarm Amperes L2 2.5 A
Notes: Insert the calculated quiescent load into L1, and the calculated fire alarm load into L2.
Tick "Pass" if the calculated load is below the PSU capacity, otherwise tick "Fail".
Should the ZP3 PSU not be able to supply the system load, then either the system design will need to be
modified, or a separate external power supply used for part of the load.
Battery calculation
If the system must operate in the quiescent state for 24 hours and with a full alarm load for half
an hour, calculate the battery size as follows (see Table 7).
Notes: Multiply the quiescent load plus the basic panel load by 1.05 (this adds 5%) to obtain the possible extra load
resulting from the panel being in a fault, disabled, or other non-fire condition. Multiply this figure by 24 to
obtain the Ampere/hours needed for 24-hour operation. Insert the result into C1.
Multiply the Fire Alarm Load plus the basic panel load by 0.5, and insert the result into C2.
Add C1 and C2, and insert the result into C3.
Add 25% to C3 to calculate the battery over-rating requirement. This allows for the normal deterioration in
battery performance over the batteries' lifetime.
Select the nearest size battery available, rounding upwards. Remember that the largest battery that can be
accommodated in the ZP3 enclosure is 30 Ampere/Hour.

Z-Loop
Z-Loop wiring
See Figure 43. The addressable Z-Loop can be wired as a class-A return loop, or as class-B single
direction wiring, with spurs. Loop length can be up to 3000 metres, depending upon the type,
quantity and location of devices attached. For more information see Z-Loop parameters on page
53.
Figure 43: Z-Loop wiring
When wired in class-B single direction format, then the loop terminals must be connected (+) in to
(+) out and (-) in to (-) out.
The loop is monitored for open and short circuit. Unused loops must be terminated (+) in to (+) out
and (-) in to (-) out.
Loop isolators
For information on loop isolators, see under “Line isolators” in Appendix A of this manual.
ZP3 Fire Control Panel Installation, Commissioning and Maintenance Manual
REV 11 (ISS 08/03/2010) Page 53
Z-Loop parameters
The Z-loop connects the ZP analogue addressable devices to the fire control panel. It is a 2-wire loop
that supplies power to the connected devices, and carries communication between each device and
the panel. Loops must be wired in correctly sized cable, and must be continuously screened.
Screening
Refer to Table 8 below. Cables must be shielded and shields must be continuous i.e. connected
through at each device. For class-A return loop wiring, both ends of the shield must be connected
to their earth terminals at the panel. For class-B single-direction wiring, the screen must be
connected to its earth terminal at the panel end, and left disconnected at the far end.
Shielded cable may be 2-core or multi-core. If multi-core cables are used, only Z-loop wiring or
the fire system DC wiring must be run inside the same screen. Third-party cabling, for example
public address and intercom systems, must not be run inside the same screen.
Z-loops should, where possible, be separated from high-voltage cabling. They must not run
adjacent to high-voltage cable for any substantial distance. Separation should be at least 100 mm.
Table 8: Screen connection wiring best practice
The ZP line loop screen connection must
be kept as short as possible to ensure the
best results for noise immunity, which is a
CE requirement.
The adjacent illustration shows two
screen connections. Option B (the
preferred method), has a shorter screen
connection even though this results in
longer plus and minus terminal wires.
SCREEN
Option A
SCREEN
Option B
4456-0
1
Alternate screen connection
See adjacent illustration. For optimum
connection, if thick mineral insulated
cabling is being used, we recommend
using EMC glands as an alternate method
for the screen connection.
Strip away the outer covering of the cable
to expose the metal sheath. Connect the
metal sheath directly to the ZP3 panel box
via the EMC conductive gland.
Cable sizing
Cable sizing depends upon the length of the Z-loop, and the number and type of devices
connected. Input devices, such as fire sensors, callpoints, and interface units, use very little
current, and allow the maximum loop length. Adding loop-powered output devices, such as
sounders, to the loop requires heavier cable and reduces the allowable loop length. See Appendix
A: ZP Wiring guide on page 99 for more details.
ZP3 Fire Control Panel Installation, Commissioning and Maintenance Manual

Common outputs
Common sounder outputs
See Figure 44. The ZP3 Fire Control Panel has 4 built-in sounder outputs, arranged in 2-pairs.
These outputs provide 24 VDC for driving sounders. They can be programmed to activate on a fire
alarm from any zone or device, or as required.
The outputs are wired in 2-wire class-B single direction format. They must be daisy-chained from
point-to-point, without tee-offs or spurs. They operate on a reverse polarity basis, and are
monitored for open-circuit and short-circuit. Circuits must be terminated with a 2200-ohm, 1 W
"end-of-line" resistor at the last sounder on the circuit.
Figure 44: Common sounder outputs wiring
Sounders connected to the circuits must be polarized, i.e. fitted with diodes so that they operate
with power in one polarity direction, and not in the reverse direction.
The sounder lines are fused at 1 A each, and sounders 1, 2, 3, 4 are fused by F8, F7, F3, F2
respectively.
ZP3 Fire Control Panel Installation, Commissioning and Maintenance Manual
REV 11 (ISS 08/03/2010) Page 55
Common fire / fault outputs
See Figure 45. The common fire and common fault relay outputs provide voltage free contacts,
which can be set to be either ‘normally open’ (closing on alarm), or ‘normally closed’ (opening on
alarm). The N/O or N/C settings are done in software in the setup menu.
The common fire relay changes state on any fire alarm, and the common fault relay changes
state on any fault alarm. Relays restore when the panel is reset.
Figure 45: Common fire/fault outputs
The relay contacts are rated for a maximum current of 1 A, and a maximum voltage of 24 VDC or
100 VAC.
ZP3 Fire Control Panel Installation, Commissioning and Maintenance Manual
Page 56 REV 11 (ISS 08/03/2010)
Remote manned centre outputs
See Figure 46. The remote manned centre (RMC) alarm output sends a fire alarm signal to RMCrouting equipment upon receipt of any fire alarm. This transmits an alarm to a remote manned
centre such as a fire brigade or a manned control room.
The remote manned centre (RMC) fault output sends a fault alarm signal to RMC-routing
equipment upon occurrence of any panel or system fault. This transmits a fault signal to a remote
manned centre such as a fire brigade, or a manned control room.
Figure 46: Remote manned centre outputs
The RMC outputs are designed to drive relays in the fire alarm routing equipment. These relays
must have a coil resistance of 1K8 ohms - 3K0 ohms (1800-3000 ohms).
The Fire Alarm circuit is monitored for open and short circuit conditions, at the fire panel. A fire
alarm causes the current to increase and activate the routing equipment.
The Fault Alarm is monitored for open and short circuit conditions at the receiving equipment
end. The fault alarm output is normally ON, and de-energises upon receipt of a fault signal.
If these outputs are not used they should be terminated with a resistor of 2K2 ohms (2200 ohms).

occur. The outputs operate on a reverse polarity basis, being set to one polarity for normal and
reversing polarity for alarm. Outputs must be polarized with a polarizing diode (these are often
internally fitted on sounders). The outputs are wired in 2-wire class-B single direction format. They
must be daisy-chained from point-to-point, without spurs. Circuits must be terminated with a 2K2

Chapter 4: Software programming
Introduction
The ZP3 fire control panel is a modular system with a powerful software programming capability.
The system requirements are built from standard hardware modules, and the functional
requirements are software programmed into the panel. The software programming system
allows for software programming that meets the needs of virtually any required application.
The configuration can be programmed on a PC-computer using the "Ziton Planner 3" programme,
and loaded into the panel. It can also be programmed directly into the panel via the fascia
keyboard. Programming on a PC is the recommended method because it also allows you to
produce a hardcopy of the system programming for record purposes.
The following main items/features can be programmed into the panel:
Access control facilities
Panel identification
Standalone system or ZP-NET multipanel system
Fire and non-fire functions
Sensor allocation to zones
Individual sensor/device location messages
Zone identification/location messages
Input - Output mapping
Device type and address
Alarm verification feature

Loop sounders
Panel sounders
Sensor self-test

Planner
Most of the programming of a ZP3 system is done by means of software. This can be done
directly via the panel menus, or it can be done off-line on a PC, using Ziton Planner software, and
later loaded into the panel by means of a serial data connection. After being loaded into the
panel, minor modifications can be done to the programming, directly via the panel menus. In this
case, it is possible to load the programming from the panel back to the PC, for saving to disk, and
hard-copy printout and record keeping.
The menu path is: Setup/Planner. Menu options available are as follows (see Table 24).
Table 24: Planner setup options

These are high level operations for use by a senior administrator of the fire system, to carry out
settings which cannot be changed by installation, maintenance, or operation personnel.
The menu path is: Setup/Level 4 operations. The following options are available (see Table 25).
Table 25: Level 4 operation setup options
Option Description
Security codes Allows you to define panel access codes as follows:
1. Operator
2. Maintenance
3. Setup
4. Level 4
In addition, the access system allows you to enter up to 20 (optional) operator names.
Each name can have a different 4-digit numeric access code, and have an access level of
1-4.
Clear - This menu allows you to delete all the access codes. The existing level4 code is
required for deletion and a new level4 code is required.
Edit/View - This menu allows for viewing, adding new codes, and deleting codes. The first
operator, code and access level is displayed. Scroll to display other entries. Displayed
entries can be deleted. To add an entry, scroll to the end of the list and enter the required
details.
Print: - This option generates a printed record of all existing Operator names, codes and
levels, to provide a hard copy record.
Local Program'ng A setting to allow programming to be done by two options, as follows:
Local programming enabled - Panel can be programmed directly from the keypad (level3
access), or externally by PC and loaded into the panel.
Local programming disabled Panel cannot be programmed via the keypad, it can only
be programmed externally by PC and loaded into the panel.
Erase program Selecting this option deletes all user programming and restores all configuration settings
to the factory defaults.

Page 78 REV 11 (ISS 08/03/2010)
Option Description
S/ware upgrade Selecting this option allows you to load new operating software into the panel from a PC.
Loading new software does not lose or affect configuration programming.
Debug comms View data received on Z-Port 1 and 2 or other diagnostic information on other virtual
ports.
Panel hardware Defines the hardware configuration, ie, loops, zones, and power options.
Clr alrm counters Resets the alarm counters to zero.
Language The ZP3 panel has facilities for 2 languages, English and one extra language. This menu
defines the default language that the panel will use. An alternative foreign language may
be loaded - applicable to software version 3.02 and higher. This was not available on
version 3.00. Note that the appropriate version language file must be used.
Refer also to the ZP3 language loading procedure, which may be found in the Planner
User Guide, document number 503-1436ZE-U-05

Chapter 5: System configuration
System specification
To setup the system configuration, it is necessary to prepare a detailed system specification. This
specification will also be used in the future maintenance of the system. The specification should
contain the following information:
General information
A system schematic should be prepared, showing all the panels, and auxiliary boards and
modules, in the system. The schematic should show the Z-loops, with the devices and loop
isolators.
A list of all sensors and devices must be prepared, with device types, location details, and point
addresses. Drawings should be available showing loop wiring runs, with the positions and point
address of each device, and the positions of each loop isolator. A schedule of loops, with the loop
length, wiring size, and number and type of devices on each loop should be produced.
Input-output mapping
Input/output mapping is software defined rules that allow the inter linking of inputs to outputs
creating a "cause and effect" schedule. This is described in more detail in the Input-output
mapping on page 82.
Panel identification
Each panel must be assigned a unique number between 1 and 255. A title message, which
displays on the screen in the "normal" condition, is optional. If specified, it can be up to 40
characters in length, and defaults to “Fire Alarm System”.
Menu access codes
The panel uses four levels of passwords to control access to menus. A 4-digit numeric access
code must be specified for each of the three controlled access levels [LEVEL4], [SETUP], and
[MAINTENANCE]. [OPERATOR] is an uncontrolled level.
Control key access levels
A facility is provided to prevent unauthorised operation of control keys on the panel fascia. Each
of the four main control keys [ACCEPT], [RESET], [SILENCE-ALARMS], and [SOUND-ALARMS], can be
individually assigned an access level. If unassigned, controls operate at level 1, which is
uncontrolled.
Local programming
The panel may be configured so that it can be programmed from the fascia keypad, or not. If NOT
set to local programming, then it can only be programmed via a PC, and downloaded into the
panel. This can provide a higher level of security to prevent unauthorized on-site changes to the
configuration.
Networking
Panels must be defined as standalone or part of a network.
ZP3 Fire Control Panel Installation, Commissioning and Maintenance Manual
Page 80 REV 11 (ISS 08/03/2010)
Zone allocation
All input devices on a loop must be assigned to a zone. This includes sensors, callpoints, and
interface units. Output devices such as sounders and line relays can be optionally zoned if
required. Zones must be specified and numbered, and the point addresses belonging to each
zone must be defined.
Zone identification messages
Each zone requires an identification message. The message displayed in the “Points” view can be
up to 29 characters in length (on networked panels due to the panel numbers field) or 33 on
standalone panels. If the feature, which displays the time of each alarm on-screen, is enabled,
then the visible space for the zone message is reduced by 6 characters. It is not necessary to
include the zone number in the message, as this is displayed automatically. All 40 characters are
logged on the printer.
Point information
The address of each point to be used in the system must be defined, together with the type of
device at each point address.
Device identification message
Each device in the system has an identification message, which is tagged to the point address of
the device. For Z-loop devices this message can be up to 40 characters in length. For panel
outputs, the message can be 10 characters in length.
Detector self-test
ZP700 series sensors have a self-test capability that is used by the panel to automatically test
them every 24 hours. This test is optional, and can be specified on a device-by-device basis.
Certain devices on the loop (for example, conventional detectors connected via interface units),
do not have a self-test facility, and would have this function disabled. The default setting is [SELFTEST OFF].
Sounder bases
A sensor can be connected to a sounder alarm base (SAB), providing the ability to provide an
audible alarm at each sensor. The point address of each sensor fitted with a sounder base must
be specified, and whether the sounder is powered from the Z-loop, or externally powered. This is
dependent upon the number of base sounders, the required sound output (in decibels), and the
size and length of loop cabling. Refer to the relevant base sounder application documentation for
more information.
Loop sounders
Sounders can be connected directly to the Z-loop, and assigned their own point address. The
point address of each loop device, which is a sounder, must be specified, in order for it to behave
correctly. In addition, it must be specified whether the sounder is powered from the Z-loop, or
externally powered. This is dependent upon the number of base sounders, the required sound
output (in decibels), and the size and length of loop cabling. Refer to the relevant loop sounder
application documentation for more information.
ZP3 Fire Control Panel Installation, Commissioning and Maintenance Manual
REV 11 (ISS 08/03/2010) Page 81
Panel sounders
Panel sounders are attached to the panel in two ways:
Standard built-in sounder outputs, a quantity of 4 – paired on 2 addresses
Optional sounder outputs, quantity dependent upon the number of boards installed.
Sounders can be connected directly to panel outputs, or to remote panel outputs. All sounders
can be programmed to operate on a "common alarm", or to be individually configurable by
means of I/O-mapping. All sounder outputs have their own panel point address. The point
address of each panel output which is connected to a sounder must be specified as a "sounder
output", in order for it to behave correctly. Panel sounders are usually powered from the panel
power-supply, but can also be powered by an external power supply. This is dependent upon the
number of sounders, the required sound output (in decibels), and whether the sounders are
connected to the panel, or to a remotely located RCU-panel.
Z-loop isolators
Number of loops, and number of loop-isolators on each loop, must be specified. In addition the
location of each isolator must be shown either on the schematics, or on the layout drawings. Up
to 16 loop isolators (limited to 11 to comply with EN54 specification) can be installed on a loop.
The panel includes 2 built-in isolator relays, giving a total of 12 isolated sections of cable.
Common relays
The normal state for common fire and fault relays must be defined. The defaults are; fire relay
(normally de-energised) and fault relay (normally energised).
Printer
Specify whether a panel printer is to be fitted, and specify the type of events that must be printed.
Events are categorized into Fire Alarms, Fault Alarms, Panel Operations and Outputs Activated.
Alarm time display
Specify whether the time of each alarm must be displayed on-screen or not. This information is
always printed on the printout.
Silence delay
A delay can be programmed to the SILENCE ALARMS key in order to prevent the system sounders
being silenced (turned off) too soon in the event of a fire alarm. The time can be set between 0 (no
delay) and 600 seconds.
ZP3 Fire Control Panel Installation, Commissioning and Maintenance Manual
Page 82 REV 11 (ISS 08/03/2010)
Cause and effect functions
Input-output mapping
Input/output mapping is software defined rules that allow the inter linking of inputs to outputs
creating a "cause and effect" schedule. Up to 2000 input triggers may be configured to link with
up to 896 outputs. This allows that multiple input conditions can be defined for each output.
The full details of every input/output map link need to be specified. An address must be specified
for each output and each input. The options to be configured for a mapping link are:
Output parameters
Output mode
The output mode defines whether the output is silencing, non-silencing, dynamic, or pulsed.
Pressing the SILENCE ALARMS key on the panel turns-off the silencing outputs. Non-silencing
outputs turn-off when the panel is reset. If the output mode is set to dynamic then the output
ignores the silence or reset keys, and follows the input trigger, i.e. it switches off when the input is
deactivated. A pulsed response activates the output for a single programmable period (selectable
in seconds up to 2 hours, 11 minutes and 15 seconds) after activation.
The mode also indicates if the output is triggered by any one of its inputs (single-knock), or
whether it requires two input triggers (double-knock).
Output re-activate mode
This applies to silencing outputs only. This allows an output that has been silenced (from a
previous alarm) to be re-activated by two options; either from any new fire alarm in the system
(labelled as ‘Any’ in the re-activation mode), or only by a new alarm from input devices that are
already linked to it in the I/O map (labelled as ‘Own’ in the re-activation mode).
Output delay
When an output is triggered, it can be given an elapsed time delay of 0 to 600 seconds until it
activates.
Normal output state
Each output can be individually defined to be normally off (de-energised in the non-alarm
condition, energising on alarm) or normally on (energised in the non-alarm condition, deenergising on alarm). The default setting is “Normally Off”.
Sounders/control outputs
Each output that is defined to operate sounders, should be specified as such. Note that outputs
declared as sounders will always be silencing, and this setting takes precedence over the I/O
mapping setting. These are intended for extinguishing + ventilation control, etc. Outputs defined
to operate as control outputs should be defined as such.
Input parameters
Input mode
The input can be set to operate its linked output as Steady, Flash Fast, Flash Slow or Disable. The
"Disable" option is used when an input address, e.g. a key switch is used to disable one or more
outputs, for example for routine maintenance. Note that panel outputs can be set to fast or slow
intermittent operation, whereas Z-loop devices have only one flash rate. On multi-tone sounders,
these correspond to different tones.
ZP3 Fire Control Panel Installation, Commissioning and Maintenance Manual
REV 11 (ISS 08/03/2010) Page 83
Input device type
The device type of the input may be defined as a general device, line device, or a gas control unit.
The type setting determines what trigger events are available to activate an output.
Trigger
Each input can be set to trigger the output on certain types of event, defined by its type. Sensors
can activate outputs from fire, fault, pre-alarm, service or disabled alarms.
Point address structure
Input /Output mapping is a software defined rule that defines a set of input triggers that activate
an output. One or more inputs may be linked to an output. Each input and output has an address,
which must be specified when setting an I/O mapping link. Each address consists of three
elements as follows.
000-00-000
Panel number - three digits (for inputs only)
Group or loop number - two digits
Point address - three digits
4463-02
The ZP3 panel incorporates one control-bus, with 1024 addresses, which can be either inputs or
outputs. Refer to the address list for details. These addresses are in 2 groups:
No. Name Addresses Description
1 System Bus (Group 09) 000 - 255 Controls panel functions, including zones, common leds,
and control keys. Can be used for external mimic
functions. These outputs are pre-programmed.
2 User Bus (Group 10) 000 - 767 Freely programmable.
The group-09 range of addresses is pre-programmed by default to carry out certain functions, for
example, illuminate zone LED's. Alternatively, 9.001 to 9.128 can be configured to be freely
programmable. Where connected outputs are set to addresses in the group-09 range, then these
outputs will automatically mimic the behaviour of the pre-programmed functions. For example,
an output board set to the same address as the zone LED's, will automatically mimic these LED's,
without any panel programming being required.
The group-10 range of addresses is freely programmable. Any outputs connected to the system,
and with their addresses set to any of the group-10 range, would have to be programmed using
the I/O-Mapping function, before they would operate.
Auxiliary board addresses
The ZP3 auxiliary boards can be set to assume any address in the System Bus (group 9) or User
Bus (group 10) address range. Auxiliary boards have 8, 16, or 24 points, which are addressed
sequentially from a base address. The base address is determined by the Dipswitch settings on
each board. Refer to the information under System address list on the next page.
Dipswitch settings between 0 and 31 set the addresses within the System Bus (09) range (Switch
8 - ON.
Dipswitch settings between 32 and 127 set the addresses within the User Bus (10) range (Switch 8
- OFF.

User bus addresses
The ZP3 auxiliary boards may assume any address in the User Bus (group 10) address range.
Each auxiliary board represents a range of point addresses; 8-way, 16-way, or 24-way. The
address range is defined by the board address, which is set with a Dipswitch on each board. The
board address defines the first 8-point addresses on the board. For boards with more than 8ways, each subsequent group of 8-ways automatically assumes the next board address after the
Dipswitch setting. Therefore, a 24-way board would use 3 board addresses, the first being set on
the Dipswitch, the other two-board addresses following-on by assumption.
Note: Accessory board Dipswitch 8 must be set OFF to link to the User Bus.
