Morley ZX Commissioning Manual

The ZX Commissioning Manual is the official Morley-IAS reference for setting up the ZX1Se, ZX3Se and ZX5Se addressable fire alarm panels. It covers the workflow from first power-on through to walk test and commissioning sign-off.

What the manual covers

• First power-on, panel discovery, initial menu walk
• Loop addressing for Apollo XP95, Apollo Discovery and System Sensor protocols
• Zone configuration and labelling, up to 200 zones per panel
• Cause-and-effect programming with logic gates and time delays
• Group definitions for cross-zone alarm logic
• Networking ZX panels — bridge configuration and inter-panel cause-and-effect
• Walk test procedures and engineer sign-off documentation
• Fault-finding for loop, network, power and earth fault errors

Who should use this manual

This manual is for fire alarm commissioning engineers working on new or modified Morley ZX installations. It assumes familiarity with addressable fire alarm system principles and BS 5839-1 commissioning requirements.

Morley ZX commissioning training

This manual works best alongside hands-on practice. BH Courses run a Morley fire panel commissioning programme that walks through ZX commissioning workflows on real panels.
