ZFP - Quick Start Installation Guide

WARNING! DO NOT connect or disconnect the panel’s internal wiring/looms, or terminate field wiring at the PCBs, with the panel’s power applied (either Mains or battery).
Failure to observe this will destroy the panel’s electronic components and the warranty will be void.

 ZFP - Quick Start Programming Guide

The quick start programming steps detailed below provide a basic configuration of the system when the panel is first NAMING LOOP DEVICES (WITHOUT USING PCTOOLS)
powered up. It is assumed that all loops are correctly wired to the panel with no wiring/crossover faults.
Hint: ZFP PC Programming Tools (Part No. ZTOOLS) are available that allow quick and easy input of data, At AL3, press the button to display the Commissioning menu, then press the

The following touchscreen buttons are available in the steps listed below: description for Loop 1, Address 001. Note you can view details for other loops or addresses by pressing the
- displays user menus - returns to previous menu - scroll up - scroll down relevant ‘Loop’ or ‘Address’ field and using the touchscreen’s numeric keypad and buttons.

STEP 4
Press the device description button (‘Loop 1 - Device 1’ shown below) and in the next window amend the text
- confirms changes/settings - cancels changes/settings using the touchscreen’s Qwerty keyboard (shown below right). Repeat this naming procedure for all loop devices.

ENTER ACCESS LEVEL 3 (AL3)

First, press the button on the panel’s touchscreen to display the access level 1 menu options.
Then, press the button and the AL3 login window appears (shown below left).
Using the touchscreen’s numeric keypad, enter the four-digit AL3 code (default code is: 4 4 4 4).
When the code has been entered correctly, the AL3 menu options appear (shown below right).

ADDITIONAL PROGRAMMING FEATURES

Upon completion of a loop learn, you can view/edit devices, zones
and groups from the Commissioning and Engineering menus.

STEP 5
Typical programming features include:

to the one shown right appears.

Set the time and date using the touchscreen’s numeric keypad and
buttons. Also, set/unset the daylight saving time (DST).

When correct, press the button to return to the AL3 menus.

LOOP LEARN
During a loop learn, the panel interrogates every device fitted on a
selected loop to identify the type of device and its address. This enables
any missing, double-addressed, or wrong devices to be identified.
STEP 3

At AL3, press button to display the Commissioning

menu, then press the button. The window shown
right appears. Select the loop(s) you want the panel to learn (Loop 1
and Loop 2 are shown selected), then press the button.
Investigate and rectify any messages reported as faults on the touchscreen.
AFTER A SUCCESSFUL LOOP LEARN YOU WILL HAVE A SINGLE ACTIVE ZONE (I.E. ZONE 1)
