The control panel provides three fire detection zones that can be assigned for
automatic detection of an extinguishing event. Fire detection zones that are not
linked to the extinguishing area are assigned standard fire detection functionality.
The configuration options available are shown below.
Option 1 — Z1. An alarm in Z1 initiates the extinguishing event. The control
panel provides standard fire detection for Z2 and Z3, both as mixed zones.
Option 2 — Z1 and Z2. This is the default configuration). Both Z1 and Z2 must
be in alarm to initiate an extinguishing event. Z3 provides standard fire detection
as a mixed zone.
Option 3 — Z1, Z2, and Z3. All three zones cover the extinguishing area. An
alarm in any two of the zones initiates an extinguishing event. None of the zones
provides standard fire detection functionality.
For more information, see “Connecting zones with initiating devices” on page 7.
