The ZXe intelligent multi protocol fire alarm control panel provides a cost-effective platform for a fire alarm system that is both flexible and expandable. The ZXe offers system designers and end users a technically sophisticated range of facilities and functions whilst maintaining ease of programming, installation, and operation.

The ZXe control panel can support Morley-IAS, System Sensor, Apollo (Series 90, XP95 and Discovery), Hochiki and Nittan protocols. This makes the ZXe the perfect solution for retrofit jobs as well as new projects.

Each ZXe control panel can support up to five analogue addressable loops. Each loop can support up to 99 analogue sensors and 99 modules with Morley-IAS and System Sensor protocols, giving the ZXe a maximum capacity of 990 addresses. With all other protocols, each loop supports up to 126 addresses thus giving a maximum ZXe capacity of 630 addresses.

The ZXe can be networked with other ZXe and ZXa intelligent multi protocol fire alarm control panels using Master-Slave architecture. Furthermore, if a graphic based PC front end is required, the panels can be connected to our own graphical display program 795-043-485.

Each panel supervises its own detection system and is designed to function independently of all others in the network in case of a communication failure.

 709 - 101 Passive Repeater and 709 - 001 Active Repeater

A full range of passive and active repeater panels and serial peripheral devices, complements the ZXe.

A mixture of 31 RS485 serial peripheral bus devices, can be connected to one ZXe panel.

The ZXe will control a combination of up to 99 heat, smoke or multi-criteria sensors on each loop and a combination of 99 call points, monitor, control, conventional zone interface modules and addressable sounders using Morley-IAS or System Sensor loop.

When used with Apollo, Hochiki and Nittan loop controllers each loop supports up to 126 devices (detectors and modules).

Depending on the arrangement of user specified zones, isolation modules may also be added to the system although they are not required at loop ends.

The same protocol must be used in a ZXe panel. Different protocols cannot be used in the same panel.

In multi-loop systems, the loops are scanned simultaneously.

The ZXe control panel can support up to three optional serial communication ports. These are identified as Port B, Port C and Port D.

Port B and Port C can be installed as RS485 or RS232 links and support PC front-end and panel network connections. Port D is used for peripheral devices only and must be an RS485 link.

A fourth serial port, Port A, is reserved for PC (for programming) or local printer connection.

A full range of repeater panels and serial peripheral devices complements the ZXe. These devices are connected to the panel through optional serial RS485 port, Port D. Up to thirty one peripheral loop devices can be connected to one ZXe. The ZXR5 Active Repeater is a compact repeater unit, which mimics all the main indications and controls on the ZXe. It has an LCD, 6 general status LEDs and four control switches for Accept/Mute, Silence/Resound, Sound Alarms and System Reset.

The ZXR4 Passive Repeater is a compact repeater unit, which mimics all the main indications on the ZXe. It has an LCD display and 6 general status LEDs.

An internal printer may be connected to the ZXe alternatively a remote printer can be connected on the RS485 peripheral bus.

For custom mimic panels, a programmable 40-way LED driver board is also available.

Any other third party devices and systems can be easily connected to ZXe using the 8-way input and 4-way output cards.
