Applying good practices during your installation ensures that the ZP3 system
operates reliably and is trouble-free. These are simple actions that assist with
commissioning and also provide stable long-term operation.
The panel must be connected to a secure earth point. Door earth straps and
internal earth must be connected. Take extra precautions for lightning areas.
All cable screens must be connected to the terminals provided. Do not cut off
screen tails or leave screens floating.
Inside the panel, physically separate mains wiring, Z-loop wiring, and serial data
wiring. The flexible plastic separator that isolates mains from low voltage wiring,
must be positioned correctly. Externally, these cable groups should be run in
separate conduits. See Appendix A “ZP wiring guide” on page 117 for more
details.
Make sure that all connections are secure and tight, with a minimum of exposed
copper cable to prevent possible shorting to adjacent terminals.
When removing and replacing the chassis and door assemblies, handle them
with extreme care. These are high-precision electronic assemblies, and
susceptible to damage if handled roughly.
