1 Introduction
1.1 General
ZP fire detection systems are extremely reliable, and provide a level of monitoring and
features unmatched by other systems. Because functions are configured in software, the
system design is not dependent upon cable routing. Installation of ZP systems is simple and
economical.
The ZP system uses an extremely flexible wiring arrangement. It is designed to provide
simple, low cost, wiring for new buildings, and can, in many cases, use existing wiring where
a fire detection system is being upgraded. A key feature of ZP the system is the ability to mix
looped wiring and spurs on the same circuit, which simplifies installation, and reduces cost.
A further advantage is that future extensions or changes to a system are easily carried out,
without in any way affecting the existing system or its wiring.
Important: To ensure that systems function correctly, it is important that correct
wiring techniques are used. The wiring is an integral part of the
complete system, and use of unsuitable cable, or defective installation
methods, can cause the system to malfunction.
Note: This manual provides specifications and guidelines for cable selection and
installation. Following these practices will ensure that your ZP fire detection
system functions correctly and reliably at all times.
All wiring must be installed in compliance with local codes, and in
accordance with the requirements of the local authority having jurisdiction.
Where "line powered output" devices are used, adequate provision must be
allowed for in the system cabling to cater for the increased line current
drawn.
In addition to the requirements specified in this document, all wiring should
be installed in compliance with Section 17 (paragraphs 17.1 - 17.15) and
Section 24 (paragraphs 24.1 - 24.5) of British Standards BS 5839 : Part 1 :
1988. GA 322.6 1 – 1
