ZP3 Fire Control Panel User Guide
Chapter 1: Introduction
System overview
The ZP3 is a complete intelligent fire detection system designed to protect life and property. Each
system is an individual design, based upon modular ZP components. It detects the presence of a
fire or smoke, raises alarms, and accurately indicates the location of the fire. Depending on the
features built into the system, it can also:
•
Raise local and remote alarms.
•
Call the fire brigade.
•
Activate building systems (including automatic fire extinguishing systems).
This is done to prevent the spread of smoke, gases, and fire, and display the alarm situation
graphically on a computer.
The ZP3 Fire Control Panel is the main component of a ZP3 System. Figure 1 shows a typical ZP3 fire
detection system schematic. Various devices can connect to the ZP3 Fire Control Panel, these include:
•
