Power Supply Internal Power for Accessory Boards The ZP3 built-in power supply would normally be used to supply 24 Volts dc to any optional accessory boards built into the panel. These optional boards are described in the Section 2 of this manual. The outputs of these boards are used to operate external devices such as sounders, indicators, and relays.
Power Supply External Power for Accessory Boards Where the load required for optional accessory boards exceeds the capacity of the ZP3 power supply, it is possible to power these boards from a separate external 24 Volt dc power supply. This external supply must meet the following criteria.
When using an external power supply unit, the failure of the mains supply, or the failure of the batteries, charging system, or fuse, can be reported to the ZP3 fire panel, as shown below. The power supply unit must incorporate two sets of voltage-free contacts, one which changes-over on mains failure, the other which changes-over on battery fault (disconnected battery, low or high voltage, etc), charger failure, or fuse failure.
Power Supply 3.10 Power Supply and Battery Calculations Two power supply calculations must be done when designing a ZP3 system. Firstly, the capacity of the power supply must be calculated to ensure that it will be able to supply the system load, even when the batteries are disconnected or discharged.
Page 80
If the calculated load is below the PSU capacity, tick "Pass", otherwise tick the "Fail". Should the ZP3 PSU not be able to supply the system load, then either the system design will need to be modified, or a separate external power supply used for part of the load.

The first step when installing a ZP3 panel is to remove the main chassis, and remove the door assembly, leaving the bare back-box for installation. This procedure is described in Section 3.3.
ZP3 Fire Control Panel Installation Preparatory Work The following illustrations show the basic steps to mounting a ZP3 fire panel on the wall. ZP3 Fire Control Panel Manual Page 4 - 2 UD1160.4 Iss 6 (25/02/2005)
Installation Cable Entry The ZP3 panel is extremely compact, and the interior is carefully planned to make the most efficient use of available space. Because of this, conduit and cable gland entry cannot be made at any point in the cabinet randomly, but is restricted to specific areas. The cable entry and wiring areas are shown below.
Data cabling separated from other cables Earth Z-loops & low voltage control cabling separated RS485 port from high voltage cables Mains cabling separate from low voltage wiring ZP3 Fire Control Panel Manual Page 4 - 4 UD1160.4 Iss 6 (25/02/2005)
Installation Surface Mounting The ZP3 panel is both compact and slim in construction, having a depth of only 137 mm. It is aesthetically attractive, and can be surface mounted in almost any environment, including prestige buildings. The illustrations below give the main information for surface mounting.
Installation Flush Mounting The ZP3 panel can be very neatly flush mounted, projecting only 10 mm. When installed in this manner it looks extremely attractive, and can be applied in the smartest environment. Two types of flush mounting kits are available, as described below. Both use the same collar, and look the same when installed.
For those applications where a very large number of conduits and cables are required, an optional cable tray is available. This tray fits on top of the ZP3 panel, and is designed for rear entry of conduit and cables. This is a neat and practical solution to the problem.
ZP3 Fire Control Panel Installation Good Practice Applying good practice to your installation will ensure that the ZP3 system operates reliably and trouble-free. These are simple actions, which will assist both with commissioning, and also provide stable long-term operation. Earthing The panel must be connected to a secure earth point.
