Clymac ZP3 - Fault Condition Handling

3.5 Operation under a fault condition
The panel automatically checks for and reports a wide range of possible faults. A fault
condition is indicated by the yellow fault LED illuminating and the panel buzzer sounding. The
display will show a message describing the fault. For example:
FAULT (Zones) Total :01
01 Z005 First Floor Offices
======== FAULT =====================
The ZP3 control panel will latch each fault condition. This means that even if the cause of the
fault is cleared the fault will still be indicated by the system. In order to clear down the fault the
fault must be accepted.
Some faults reported are internal to the system; these not handled in this manual. The operator
will have to call in maintenance personnel should they display.
For a fault condition, the top line indicates the type of alarm i.e. fault, the “ Total” number
indicates the total number of zones in fault. For the second line, the Z005 indicates the zone
number i.e. zone 005 followed by the text description for the zone in fault and the time of the
fault using a 24 hour clock. The third line is blank and the fourth line indicates that the fault
display is currently being viewed and is shown above the FAULT key.
Please note, for EN54 part 2 compliance the individual device text label is not automatically
displayed. The use of a zone label removes any confusion that may occur when a number of
detectors are triggered during a real fault condition.
The individual device text label can be viewed by pressing the VIEW POINTS key. For
example:
DEV OFFLINE (
Point) 1003 smoke
Purchasing Department
First Floor Offices
======== FAULT ====================
The top line indicates the type of fault i.e. DEVICE OFF LINE. The word “ Point” refers to a
point device e.g. an interface, smoke sensor, heat sensor or call point. The four digit number
refers to the address number of the device in fault e.g. 1003 refers to loop 1 address 003. The
word “ smoke” refers to the type of point that triggered the fault. The individual device text
label is displayed on the second line followed by a repeat of the zone label on the third line. The
fourth line indicates that the fault display is currently being viewed and is shown above the
FAULT key.
