Description
The ZPC760W Ceiling Mount Visual Alarm is a ZP7 series, addressable WHITE visual alarm device (VAD), approved to EN54:23 for ceiling mount applications. It features a clear lens with red LED element and incorporates a switch setting allowing it to be assigned a unique address on a Ziton fire panel loop.
Designed for installation at a height of up to 3m and with a discrete appearance, the ZPC760W Ceiling Mount Visual Alarm with its deep base is suitable for a variety of applications. Its unique lens design distributes light evenly in a cylindrical shape to achieve the required illumination, whist using minimum current.
High Intensity Visual Signal
Designed to complement audible alarms, the ZPC760W provides a high intensity, synchronized visual signal for applications where alarm sounders alone are ineffective for notification or evacuation of a premises. In areas with high levels of background noise and manufacturing areas where intense industrial noise demands the use of ear protection, residential areas or other confined spaces such as bedrooms, bathrooms and toilets, or places with occupants who may be hard of hearing, the use of visual indication of alarms are ideal.
The ZPC760W is designed to meet the requirements of most local disability legislation and is certified as a primary alarm notification device under EN54:23.
Current Consumption And System Loads
Depending on the system requirements, the ZPC766W may be set to use less power. When coverage areas are small (less than 7.5 m radius), reducing the required range minimizes the system current load. In addition the flash frequency may be set to 0.5 Hz (1 flash every 2 seconds) instead of 1 Hz (1 flash every second) in instances where power consumption needs to be further reduced.
External Power Supplies
The ZPC766W is installed using a fist fix base supplied with the unit. Loop and/or power cables for the VAD are connected in this base. In systems where loop lengths or current requirements are high, the ZPC766W may be powered directly from an external, EN54:4 approved power supply. The external supply is supervised and should there be a problem, the VAD automatically notifies the fire panel.
- Unique optics for light management with a lens design that optimise light dispersal, minimizing power wastage
- Up to 7.5m coverage diameter, reducing the number of devices required to cover an area
- Coverage switch feature – for smaller areas switch down from 7.5m to 3m, reducing power consumption and saving up to 50%
- Flash rate switch feature, reducing the power consumption by up to 50%
- Soft start up for reduced current peak at start up, reducing circuit loading
- Locking base to prevent easy removal of device
- EN54-23 approved and CPR certified
