Ziton ZP3AB-NET1 Network interface board

The Ziton ZP3AB-NET1 enables ZP3 control panels to be connected together to form networks. The interface card is attached directly onto the ZP3 main control board inside the panel enclosure. Up to 64 stand alone control panels can be linked to form the ZP network allowing the integration of over 32,000 system devices.

Networks can be designed where control panels are connected to form a single coordinated fire detection and alarm system. Each panel controls its own devices and displays its own system information but is capable of cross panel cause and effect operation.

The ZP3AB-NET1 network board also enables hierarchical networks to be easily configured, where one or more control panels can be assigned as masters displaying complete system status.

Communication between ZP3 fire alarm panels operates by RS485 protocol over twisted screened pair wiring. Total cable length throughout the network can be up to 2 km.
