7. Secure the mounting bracket to the panel printer using the screws provided.
8. Connect the external circuit board (attached to the mounting bracket) to the printer using the
orange and black cable.
9. Connect the display board and the printer board to the printer using the ribbon cable
provided (see Figure 25).
10. Connect 24 VDC power to the printer using the black and red ZP3 power lead.
11. Power up the panel and configure the printer on the ZP3 panel.
Once installed the printer must be configured to operate as required. It can be programmed to
print or suppress different types of messages (e.g. print "fire alarms", suppress "Disabled"
messages). This programming is done in the ZP3 panel "Setup" menu. See
System configuration:

on page 75 for details.
Quick start
The following are a few guidelines to assist with familiarizing yourself with the key features, to
enable you to setup the panel as rapidly as possible.
The panel fascia contains a complete set of status LED's which give the current status of the ZP3
panel. Under normal operating conditions, all of these LED's should be off, and the buzzer should
be silent. Only the green "Power On" LED should be illuminated.
When testing a panel, always ensure that the Z-loops are correctly terminated in-to-out as per
the wiring drawing, and that all monitored outputs (sounders, monitored-inputs, etc,) are
terminated with the correct end-of-line resistor.
Make sure that at least one sensor or device is connected when testing a panel otherwise a fault
condition will occur.
Always power-up with sensors or devices attached to the Z-loops. Remember that the ZP3 panel
does not automatically accept sensors/devices added (or removed) afterwards, and a fault
condition results. To accept the addition or removal of sensors and devices, go to the menu
"Setup - Points – Accept - Points", and run the accept routine. This causes the panel to accept the
sensors and devices currently attached.
The commissioning key, which is located on the inside of the front door, has two positions,
‘normal’’ and ‘commission’. The commission position enables you to access the panel setup
menus via the keyboard. With the keyswitch in the commission position, the System Test LED on
the fascia flashes.
The internal buzzer operates to announce any events that occur. It provides the required output
level to be heard in all situations, with the door closed, and meets EN54-2 requirements for this.
