A total of 896 (768 freely programmable) inputs or
outputs can be connected to each ZP3 panel. These
inputs and outputs can be a mixture of any of the
standard device types shown

Note 1:
This is the output voltage available to provide power to auxiliary boards, such as sounder output boards. It
must not be used to power devices not related to the fire system. With the mains on it is regulated at 24-
29 VDC, and with the mains off it provides battery voltage, which will be approximately 3 V lower than the
battery voltage when a full load (4 A) is connected. As a safety feature, line device analogue information is
ignored by the panel at very low input voltages. Battery voltages from 19 to 21 V (and lower depending on the
current being drawn) cause the panel to display the message “fire detection inactive”.
Note 2:
This is the total power supply capability, used for all panel and user operations. The peak current is only
available for short periods of time, not exceeding 30 minutes.
Note 3:
Maximum current used internally by the panel, excluding detectors and external devices.
Note 4:
After deducting panel operation and battery charging requirements, the current remaining is available for use
by external devices such as detectors, accessory boards and sounders. This is the maximum current available
while the system is in a non fire alarm condition.
Note 5:
In a fire alarm condition, the battery charging is disconnected. Therefore, in a fire condition, additional current
is available for external fire alarm devices only, such as sounders.
