ZP3 ANALOGUE ADDRESSABLE CONTROL PANEL Product Data

PS1278.3
The Ziton ZP3 is an analogue addressable fire
detection and alarm system, based upon advanced
technology developed to provide maximum
flexibility through a comprehensive range of
modular hardware, supported by highly
configurable software.
Advanced panel design, combined with high
sensitivity smoke and fire sensing, enables ZP3 not
only to identify and disregard conditions, which
would result in false or unwanted alarms - but to
recognise real fires sooner.
Scaleable in every aspect, the ZP3 system offers
tailor made engineered solutions for all
applications, from single panel systems to large
multi panel networks. Modular design backed by
powerful software enables ZP3 systems to be
configured exactly to the needs of any commercial
or industrial site.
Control panels are available in 1, 2, and 4 loop
sizes, accommodating up to 508 sensing
addresses. For sites requiring above four loops,
panels can be networked together to form systems
capable of controlling over 32000 devices from 64
control panels.
Up to 127 line devices (sensors, callpoints,
sounders or interface units) can be connected to
each of the control panel loops. All loop devices
incorporate switch settings enabling them to be
assigned a unique address, the location of which is

caused by increases of temperature or products of

ZP3 ANALOGUE ADDRESSABLE CONTROL PANEL Product Data

Features
The ZP3 panel supports, fire and non fire functions, loop powered sounders, remote control and remote
display panels, up to 128 zones with 768 programmable inputs and outputs per panel, all covered by
comprehensive programming facilities.
ZP3 'active' protocol provides complete reliability at all times. Systems feature the continuous monitoring of
wiring and sensors, corrupt data detection and disconnection of faulty or corrupt loop sections.
Built in system diagnostics improves levels of maintenance and reduces service costs. Included are remote
diagnostic support (optional), sensor and sounder testing, statistics and status reports, sensor contamination
and near service reports and 'one man - zone walk test'

Other features include -

Networking and Software Support Packages

Optional facilities
An onboard printer module together with a series of facility boards can be added to the standard panel to
extend any system up to a maximum of 768 programmable inputs and outputs.

Networking
The ZP3 peer to peer network enables up to 64 stand alone ZP3 control panels to be integrated into a single
co-coordinated fire detection and alarm system. The network facility features system wide alarm reporting, co-
coordinated evacuation and cross panel cause and effect operation, making it ideal for large systems and
multi building sites.
System control and graphics display computers can be included on the network. Display and control functions
are fully programmable and alarms and events, including zone, location and individual address detail, can be
displayed from the system of origin to any other networked panel. In addition alarms from any control panel
can be programmed to operate sounders and outputs on panels across the network.
One or more control panels can be assigned as system masters, displaying complete system status. System
control and graphics display computers also show complete network status and allow control functions to be
operated remotely.

Maestro
Designed specifically for connection to ZP3 fire detection systems Maestro is a P.C. based monitoring system,
providing the user with a complete system overview.
Graphically presenting alarms and events, Maestro provides system control, colour graphics and event
logging with archive facilities. Running on Windows NT, the software can be used either with stand alone
control panels or as an integrated network facility.

Planner
Planner software package enables system designers to fully configure ZP3 systems either directly into the panel
via a PC, or off site for subsequent downloading at the system commissioning stage. The package checks that
equipment parameters entered are within the ranges allowed and prompts the user on allowable options.

Remote diagnostics
Designed to provide the user with full facilities for both fault diagnosis and system configuration off site, the
remote diagnostics hardware and software package makes information available to service personnel, prior to
visiting site for remedial action or maintenance activity.
