ZP3

Recognise Real Fires Sooner

Advanced panel design combined with high
sensitivity smoke and fire sensing enables the ZP3
control panel not only to identify and disregard
conditions that would result in false or unwanted
alarms, but to recognise real fires sooner. The ZP3 is
available in 1, 2, and 4 loop configurations,
accommodating up to 508 sensing addresses. For
sites requiring more loops, panels may be networked
together to form systems capable of controlling more
than 50 000 devices from as much as 100 control
panels.

Unique Device Addresses

Up to 127 line devices (sensors, call points,
sounders or interface units) may be connected to
each of the ZP3 loops. All loop devices incorporate
switch settings enabling them to be assigned a
unique address, the location of which is pinpointed
and polled by the panel every two seconds.
Variations in the sensor’s environment caused by
increases of temperature or products of combustion
are reported to the panel where they are processed
and compared to known fire data prior to any alarm
output being activated.

Software Flexibility

Constant communication between control panel and
sensor enables the ZP3 to provide a wide range of
user facilities including pre alarm, constant sensitivity
adjustment and service and near service listings for
all sensor types. Software flexibility enables facilities
such as alarm organisation, evacuation procedures
and complex cause and effect requirements to be
easily programmed into any system. All customer
and site data is held in non volatile flash memory,
ensuring both ease of initial system data input and
subsequent on site amendments and modifications
should they be required.

Optional Facilities

An onboard printer module together with a series of
facility boards can be added to the standard panel to
extend any panel up to 768 programmable inputs
and outputs.

Remote Diagnostics

Designed to provide the user with full facilities for
both fault diagnosis and system configuration off site,
the remote diagnostics hardware and software
package makes information available to service
personnel prior to visiting site for remedial action or
maintenance activity.
