Chapter 1: Introduction Product description The 1X-X3 control panel provides three fire detection zones (Z1, Z2, and Z3) and several manual call point (MCP) and control inputs that control the extinguishing actions for a single extinguishing area. If a fire detection zone is not configured as part of the extinguishing detection area, the control panel provides standard fire panel functionality for that fire detection zone.
