Status indicators
See Figure 8. The status indicators provide a comprehensive overview of the current status of the
complete fire detection system.
Figure 8: Status indicators
On this indicator the system is categorized, on the left side, into different elements, as shown in
Table 2.
Table 2: System categorization
Name Description
System
The panel, including the CPU.
Zone
A grouping of sensors, or other line devices.
Point

Sounders
Alarm devices, including electronic sirens, bells, etc.
Remote alarm

Table 3: Status indicator conditions

Power on
Indicates that the ZP3 panel has power, either from the mains or from the standby battery.
Active

Fault
Indicates that a fault condition has been detected on a device or output. A "System-Fault" indicates
that a major fault exists in the panel.
Disabled Indicates
that
a
device or output has been deliberately disabled.
Delayed
Indicates that the activation of a sounder, remote alarm, or control output has occurred, but that
the actual operation of the output is in a delayed state.
Pre-alarm
