ZP3 Fire Control Panel Installation, Commissioning and Maintenance Manual

Input device type
The device type of the input may be defined as a general device, line device, or a gas control unit.
The type setting determines what trigger events are available to activate an output.
Trigger
Each input can be set to trigger the output on certain types of event, defined by its type. Sensors
can activate outputs from fire, fault, pre-alarm, service or disabled alarms.
Point address structure
Input /Output mapping is a software defined rule that defines a set of input triggers that activate
an output. One or more inputs may be linked to an output. Each input and output has an address,
which must be specified when setting an I/O mapping link. Each address consists of three
elements as follows.
000-00-000
Panel number - three digits (for inputs only)
Group or loop number - two digits
Point address - three digits
4463-02
The ZP3 panel incorporates one control-bus, with 1024 addresses, which can be either inputs or
outputs. Refer to the address list for details. These addresses are in 2 groups:
No. Name
Addresses Description
1
System Bus (Group 09)
000 - 255
Controls panel functions, including zones, common leds,
and control keys. Can be used for external mimic
functions. These outputs are pre-programmed.
2
User Bus (Group 10)
000 - 767
Freely programmable.
The group-09 range of addresses is pre-programmed by default to carry out certain functions, for
example, illuminate zone LED's. Alternatively, 9.001 to 9.128 can be configured to be freely
programmable. Where connected outputs are set to addresses in the group-09 range, then these
outputs will automatically mimic the behaviour of the pre-programmed functions. For example,
an output board set to the same address as the zone LED's, will automatically mimic these LED's,
without any panel programming being required.
The group-10 range of addresses is freely programmable. Any outputs connected to the system,
and with their addresses set to any of the group-10 range, would have to be programmed using
the I/O-Mapping function, before they would operate.
Auxiliary board addresses
The ZP3 auxiliary boards can be set to assume any address in the System Bus (group 9) or User
Bus (group 10) address range. Auxiliary boards have 8, 16, or 24 points, which are addressed
sequentially from a base address. The base address is determined by the Dipswitch settings on
each board. Refer to the information under
System address list
on the next page.
Dipswitch settings between 0 and 31 set the addresses within the System Bus (09) range (Switch
8 - ON.
Dipswitch settings between 32 and 127 set the addresses within the User Bus (10) range (Switch 8
- OFF.
