ZP1-X3 Operation Manual 1
Introduction
This is the operation manual for the ZP1-X3 Extinguishing and Fire Alarm Control
Panel. Read these instructions and all related documentation entirely before
operating this product.
The control panel provides three fire detection zones (Z1, Z2, and Z3) and
several manual call point (MCP) inputs that control the extinguishing actions for a
single extinguishing area.
If a fire detection zone is not configured as part of the extinguishing detection
area, the control panel provides standard fire panel functionality for that fire
detection zone. For example, the panel activates fire sounders, fire routing, and
other auxiliary outputs.
Consult your system installer for configuration details about the fire zones that
have been assigned to the fire extinguishing area or (optionally) to fire detection
zones.
Table 1 explains the possible fire alarm and extinguishing event states of the
control panel.
Table 1: Control panel alarm states
Alarm state
Description
Extinguishing preactivation An alarm in one fire detection zone was detected but an alarm
in another fire detection zone must be detected to activate the
extinguishing event.
In this state, fire sounders are activated immediately with a
steady tone. Fire routing, if available, is activated after any
configured delay.
If an alarm is not reported in the second zone linked to the
extinguishing detection area and if no “start extinguishing”
manual call point is activated, the preactivation alarm
continues until the control panel is reset by an authorized
operator. The system does not proceed to the extinguishing
activation alarm.
If the control panel is configured with only one zone linked to
the extinguishing area, an alarm in that zone triggers an
extinguishing activation alarm (there is no preactivation alarm).
Extinguishing activation This state is also called “in delay to release”.
The control panel has detected an extinguishing event
(depending on configuration, either one or two fire detection
zones entered into an alarm state) or a “start extinguishing”
manual call point was pressed.
In this state, extinguishing sounders are activated. Normally,
your system installer will have configured an intermittent tone.
If the extinguishing activation alarm is not cancelled (by
pressing an “abort extinguishing” manual call point) or paused
(by pressing a “hold extinguishing” manual call point), the
system proceeds to the extinguishing released state after the
configured delay. The default delay is 10 seconds, but it can be
configured for up to 60 seconds.
