Conventional fire alarm panel

May 2001 Fire & Safety

The ZC4 is a conventional fire alarm panel suitable for small-to-medium size systems. It is designed for surface mounting, is very compact and incorporates batteries, electronics and annunciation in one cabinet.

To allow the system to be configured to suit the application requirements, a full range of outputs are provided. These include separate common fire and fault outputs, common fire sounder outputs for alarm and evacuation, outputs to signal the fire brigade for both alarm and fault conditions and separate fire outputs for each zone, to operate alarms by zone, or for zonal functions such as remote annunciation, door control or other functions.

Features

* Monitoring: Full and comprehensive monitoring of all internal and external circuits is provided.

* Zonal indications: Zonal LED indicators are provided for fire, fault and zone disabled conditions.

* Access to controls: All essential operator functions are accessible at access level 2, being normally locked behind a perspex door.

* Function disable: Controls are provided to allow various functions to be temporarily disabled when required, for example during building operations or maintenance. Zones can be temporarily disabled, in addition to sounders and the fire brigade connection. Illuminated LED indicators show which functions or zones are disabled.

* Fire brigade output: Outputs are provided for transmitting fire and fault signals to the fire brigade via a remote transmitter unit (such as a telephone dialler, or other system used by the local fire brigade), or to any remote manned centre.

* Common outputs: Common voltage-free outputs are provided for fire and fault conditions.
