Basic system features
The ZP3 system incorporates a wide range of features and capabilities as follows:
•
The ZP3 incorporates the proven ZP system of automatic contamination adjustment for each
sensor. This recalibrates each sensor as it becomes contaminated, and provides a constant
sensitivity even when sensors are dirty.
•
Each sensor is individually adjustable for sensitivity, including different sensitivities for day
and night operation.
•
Selectable alarm verification allows the time integration of each sensor to be set. Analogue
sensors provide pre-alarm, alarm, service, and diagnostic alarms.
•
The panel continuously checks every sensor for contamination, with automatic alarm.
•
The system supports both fire and non-fire monitoring functions, e.g. door open, fault alarms,
etc.
•
The ZP-loop provides for addressable loop-powered sounders, reducing wiring.
•
Each panel supports up to 50 zones, optionally 128. Built-in zone LED's display up to 50 zones,
and extender panels provide LED display up to 128 zones.
•
Each panel has the capability for 896 programmable inputs and outputs, which can be
located with the panel, or remotely via serial connection.
•
Flash memory retains all programming and data, even if the panel is powered-down.
Operation
The panel incorporates a simple and effective operator interface with 160-character LCD display.
Together with zone LED's and function LED's, these indications give a clear and unambiguous
indication of all alarms and reports. All control functions are menu driven, and three access levels
are protected by codes. A "help" button provides quick access to operating instructions.
Sensors and devices
A full range of single and combination analogue addressable sensors, including wired and radio
sensors, is supported. Manual call-points meet UK preferences, and respond in less than 3
seconds. A range of input and output interface units allows the connection of third-party
equipment to the addressable ZP-loop.
The following features are contained in panel software SW71910 version 3.07 and higher:
1. Less than three second sounder responses from a mapped call point: The panel now has a
less than three second response time in response to a call point operation. This is in
compliance with BS5839-1:2002 specification.
For guaranteed <3 second sounder response from a mapped call point input the user must
adhere to the following when using panel software SW71910, version 3.07 and higher:
•
The panel must be fitted with line driver software SW72001, version 3.01 and higher. The
call point must be a version three type (ZP785-3).
•
The sounder and the call point must be on the same panel. The detection zone and alarm
zone thus needs to be serviced by the same panel.
•
For the output mapping the sounder output device must be defined as a sounder type
with the call point being the input trigger.
•
For a ZP755 line sounder used as a behind detector sounder the output address must be
tagged as a SAB (sounder alarm base).
2. Type 54 emulated devices improve functionality: A type 54 emulated device can be mapped
to disable any other line device. This is reported on the panel as an event and updated in the
Event archive.
