ZP3 Fire Control Panel User Guide
Panel fascia
The ZP3 system is operated by means of the controls and indicators on the ZP3 Panel Fascia as
shown in Figure 3. In some systems, the operator controls the system from a Remote Display Unit
and not from the panel fascia. This is identical to the control panel, but is usually located in some
other area, such as a control room. Effectively the Remote Display Unit is a "repeater", which
operates in the same manner as the fire panel.

Where more than one type of alarm is present simultaneously, then the highest priority alarm
displays automatically. The priority order is Fire, Fault, Disabled, Other. To view other categories
of alarm, press the relevant button as described below. After viewing lower-priority alarms using
the View Alarm buttons, the system times-out and automatically returns to the current highest
