  • Page 76: Internal Power For Accessory Boards

    Power Supply Internal Power for Accessory Boards The ZP3 built-in power supply would normally be used to supply 24 Volts dc to any optional accessory boards built into the panel. These optional boards are described in the Section 2 of this manual. The outputs of these boards are used to operate external devices such as sounders, indicators, and relays.

  • Page 77: External Power For Accessory Boards

    Power 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 Volt dc power supply. This external supply must meet the following criteria.

  • Page 78: 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.

  • Page 79: Power Supply And Battery Calculations

    Power Supply 3.10 Power Supply and Battery Calculations Two power supply calculations must be done when designing a ZP3 system. Firstly, the capacity of the power supply must be calculated to ensure that it will be able to supply the system load, even when the batteries are disconnected or discharged.
  • Page 80 If the calculated load is below the PSU capacity, tick "Pass", otherwise tick the "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.

    Installation Flush Mounting The ZP3 panel can be very neatly flush mounted, projecting only 10 mm. When installed in this manner it looks extremely attractive, and can be applied in the smartest environment. Two types of flush mounting kits are available, as described below. Both use the same collar, and look the same when installed.

  • Page 89: Top Wiring Tray

    For those applications where a very large number of conduits and cables are required, an optional cable tray is available. This tray fits on top of the ZP3 panel, and is designed for rear entry of conduit and cables. This is a neat and practical solution to the problem.

    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 is sophisticated and extensive, and includes facilities for meeting the needs of virtually any application, no matter how complex.

    The power source should not be shared by electrical equipment, which causes electrical noise or spikes. If the quality of the power feeding the panel is suspect and electrical noise is present, assistance should be sought from Ziton regarding earthing and surge protection. Earth Connection: The panels, power supplies and cables making up the fire detection system should be connected to earth at one point only.
  • Page 225 For a frequent surge environment, the loop device chassis must be connected to the main building earth. This may require a separate earth wire to be run to the panel. ZP3 Fire Control Panel Manual UD1160.W Iss 6 (25/02/2005) Page W - 3...
