Zerio Plus has been designed to be capable of handling 240 devices in 100 zones. Typical installations would
include small o ces, private houses, HMO’s, guest houses and small hotels.
This manual contains information to enable an engineer to install, service and operate the Zerio Plus control panel
and the range of Zerio Plus devices. This product should be installed, commissioned and maintained by quali ed
service personnel in accordance with codes of practice, statutory requirements and IEE regulations for electrical
equipment in buildings.
The system has been designed to allow very simple set up, with a user friendly menu structure and full-text
capability. There is no need to connect devices with a programming lead, as con guration is achieved by radio.
Text locations can be entered on the panel itself or by connecting a standard USB keyboard to the panel.
Devices for the system are visually the same as the standard Millennium and Zerio devices. These devices are not
compatible with the Millennium or Zerio range of  re alarm equipment. A list of devices available for use with this
system can be found on the back page.
Prior to installation, the building where the system is to be installed must be surveyed to ensure that each device
to be  tted has a good radio communication path to the control or booster panel. This is done with an
F/EDA-Z5000 survey kit. When installing devices, they must be positioned as per the survey. Installing a device
even a few inches from the surveyed position can a ect the signal strength signi cantly, especially if any
metalwork is contained in the ceiling above the new position (e.g. air-conditioning ducting).
IMPORTANT
Failure to perform an accurate survey will result in the system being unlikely to function correctly.
These errors can be costly to correct.
Points to remember:
1. Position the panel where it is to be installed
2. Ensure devices are surveyed for their exact positions touching the ceiling or wall. A few inches either side may
a ect the signal strengths substantially.
3. In order to have an accurate survey the batteries in the survey detector should be changed at least once a year
