Ziton ZP Wireless Manual Call Point with Battery Pack (ZR485-3)

The Ziton ZR485-3 is a wireless, indoor, manual call point operating on 868 MHz.

The ZR485-3 provides a manual means of initiating a fire alarm in areas where the installation of hard wiring is not an option. The unit is controlled from the main fire alarm panel via a loop wired radio interface module. This arrangement allows both wireless and hardwired devices to be seamlessly located on the same loop wiring.

The ZR485-3 forms part of an extensive range of wireless fire alarm devices that includes both smoke/heat detection as well as notification devices, sounder/beacons and IO units.

Suitable for use on installations specifying the recommendations of BS 5839 Part 1, the callpoint fully meets the requirements of European Standard EN54 Part 11 and is CPD certified.

System operation

The ZR485-3 is operated either by pressing a resettable element (optional) or by breaking a frangible glass with finger pressure. The glass element has a clear vinyl coating on the front surface to prevent operator injury and to inhibit the release of loose fragments as the glass is broken. Both operating elements are easily interchangeable.

Every wireless device controlled through the RLM interface is assigned its own IDENT address with which the main control panel communicates with it. This provides the same system functionality to wireless as well as traditionally hard-wired devices.

System testing

The ZR485-3 is designed for surface mounting and is supplied complete with matching back box. System testing is carried out by using a special key supplied with the call point. When inserted into a slot in the base of the call point moulding, the device is trigged to operate automatically.

Rated at IP42 the ZR485-3 is constructed of ABS plastic and is intended for indoor applications. A red LED indicator, prominently positioned on the call point front plate, flashes when the unit is operated.
