Fire alarm systems must remain operative during the initial phase of a fire. It is therefore important that certain wiring practices are followed, and must comply to British Standard BS5839: Part 1: 1988: Sections 17 and 24. All wiring must be installed to the standards laid down in Ziton wiring guide GA322. WARNING: The wiring connection to the extinguishant cylinder actuator is a low impedance circuit, which can draw up to 1 A during actuation.

Introduction This section covers the programming of ZP5 Mk2-5 and ZP3 Fire Panels using the ZP3-ECU Extinguishing Control Unit. For programming the Extinguishing Control Unit of ZP5 Mk1 Fire Panels refer to the applicable Commissioning Manual. The commissioning of an Extinguishing Control Unit is done by performing a number of logical steps.
