CHANNEL SAFETY SYSTEMS t: 0845 884 7000 | w: www.channelsafety.co.uk 1.0 - EN54 APPROVED CONFIGURATION The Zerio Plus system has been approved by Intertek to meet EN54 parts 2 and 4. The panels were tested and approved in their default configuration. This manual lists all available panel options and settings, some of which can be set in a way that would result in a system that does not comply with EN54.
CHANNEL SAFETY SYSTEMS t: 0845 884 7000 | w: www.channelsafety.co.uk 2.0 - INSTALLATION The electronic components within the panel are vulnerable to electrostatic discharges. It is advisable to wear a wrist strap designed to prevent the build-up of static charges within the body before handing any electronic components. Do not remove or unplug any components while the panel is powered up. Mounting The panel should be mounted on a wall in a suitable position as recommended by BS5839 Part 1.
CHANNEL SAFETY SYSTEMS t: 0845 884 7000 | w: www.channelsafety.co.uk Battery In order to meet EN54 Part 4, a Yuasa NP7-12 lead acid battery should be fitted. This will give a 72 hour standby, assuming no external equipment (eg wired antennas) has been added. If only 24 hours standby is required and no external equipment has been fitted then a 12V 2.8Ahr battery could be fitted. Connect the battery using the supplied terminal connections. The red wire is +12V and the black wire is 0V.
CHANNEL SAFETY SYSTEMS t: 0845 884 7000 | w: www.channelsafety.co.uk PCB Layout Monitored Inputs The panel features two monitored inputs that can be programmed either as latching or non-latching. It is important to note that before using these inputs they must be enabled by programming them in the panel options menu. If the inputs are enabled then 4K7Ω end of line resistors must be fitted at the termination. Applying a 470Ω resistor across the inputs will produce a ‘Fire’ message.
CHANNEL SAFETY SYSTEMS t: 0845 884 7000 | w: www.channelsafety.co.uk Panel Relays The panel is equipped with four programmable relays, each capable of supplying 500mA. The total current draw across all four relays must not exceed 1A. The default relay types are: Relay 1: Fire Routing Relay - This activates on an alarm condition. It switches 12V onto the output and is monitored for short and open circuit, with a 4K7Ω EOL. The circuit should be connected between the C and the NO terminals.

CHANNEL SAFETY SYSTEMS t: 0845 884 7000 | w: www.channelsafety.co.uk 14.0 – DELAYS It is possible to set two delays for each device or input - see 6.32 – Edit Device Options. A combined delay period of up to 600 seconds can be applied for delay1 and delay2 (e.g. 300 seconds each). The system will ignore any programmed delays until they are activated at Access Level 2. To turn delays on or off, the function key may be used, which will require an access code to be entered.
CHANNEL SAFETY SYSTEMS t: 0845 884 7000 | w: www.channelsafety.co.uk 15.0 – COMMON PROBLEMS & FAQ’S How do I change the battery in a device? Remove the device from its base plate. Unscrew and remove the rear casing from the device. Pull out the existing battery, paying attention to where the connecting pins are. Line up the new battery with the connecting pins and push into place. Screw the rear casing back on and perform a battery reset; see 12.0 – Battery Stats Reset.
CHANNEL SAFETY SYSTEMS t: 0845 884 7000 | w: www.channelsafety.co.uk 16.0 – MAINTENANCE The Zerio Plus system should be maintained in accordance with the regulations and codes appropriate to the country of installation. This schedule is based on BS5839 codes of practice. Daily Actions The user should check that the panel indicates normal operation. If any faults exist, they should be recorded and the responsible person or maintenance company should be notified.
CHANNEL SAFETY SYSTEMS t: 0845 884 7000 | w: www.channelsafety.co.uk 17.0 – COMPONENT REPLACEMENT There are no user serviceable parts within the Zerio Plus panel. Only trained service engineers should carry out the repairs listed below. Contact EDA Technical for further information. Power Supply Before removing the PSU remove the mains fuse from the terminal block and disconnect the battery. The display should be off and no LEDs should be illuminated; inside or outside the panel.
