Page 26 Chapter 1: Installation overview RS-232 is officially specified as having 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.
Page 27 Chapter 1: Installation overview The standard ZP3 fire panel has one built-in communication port, Z-Port 1, used for programming. Additional ports are available as options for other functions, such as connecting into a Ziton ZP-NET network, connecting to graphics display computers, as well as to remote display units and remote control units.
Page 28 The ZP3AB-RS232 Serial Communications 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.
Page 29 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 ZP3 Fire Control Panel Installation, Commissioning, and Maintenance Manual...

Page 64 Chapter 3: Field wiring Two power supply calculations must be done when designing a ZP3 system: 1. The capacity must be calculated when running on mains power to ensure that it will be able to supply the system load, even when the batteries are disconnected or discharged.
Page 65 Check Pass if the calculated load is below the PSU capacity, otherwise check Fail. Should the ZP3 PSU not be able to supply the system load, then either the system design must be modified, or a separate, external power supply must be used for part of the load.

Page 140: Routine Maintenance
Quarterly maintenance is performed every three months. Refer to Table 40 for the quarterly checks that must be carried out on the ZP3 system. Log book analysis Prepare for testing by reading through the log book. Any corrective action that has not yet been taken should be noted and carried out during the service.
Page 141 Make sure that the printer (if fitted) is printing all events generated during the service. Monitor earth If the earth leakage monitoring feature on the ZP3 system is leakage enabled, test the earth leakage by applying a short between the positive leg of the Z-loop and earth.
Page 142 Advise all staff and the remote manned centre that testing is complete, and that any alarm now received must be treated as real. Refer to Table 41 for the annual checks that must be carried out on the ZP3 system. Quarterly checks...
