FAQ
What is the difference between relay and control voltage triggering?
Relay triggering uses a dry contact closure from the fire alarm panel, while control voltage triggering senses a DC voltage signal. Most fire alarm systems support at least one of these options.
Can the ZC-FIRE work with other audio systems?
The ZC-FIRE is specifically designed for ZonePRO devices, but your fire alarm system integrator may offer compatible interfaces for other audio systems.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the ZC-FIRE interface integrate with my building's fire alarm system?
The ZC-FIRE receives trigger signals from your fire alarm panel via relay contact or control voltage. When triggered, it can instantly mute the audio system or switch to a pre-programmed emergency announcement scene.
What happens when the ZC-FIRE receives a fire alarm trigger?
The interface executes your pre-configured response: mute all audio, play emergency evacuation instructions, or activate a specific message scene. This ensures critical safety communications get immediate attention.
Can the ZC-FIRE support multiple emergency scenarios or zones?
Yes, you can program different responses for different fire alarm zones or trigger types. This allows targeted announcements if only one floor or zone needs to evacuate.
Does the ZC-FIRE work with any fire alarm system?
The ZC-FIRE is compatible with fire panels that provide relay contacts or control voltage outputs. Contact Procure.ae with your fire alarm model to confirm integration feasibility.
What type of emergency messages can I program into the ZC-FIRE response?
You can pre-record or select from preset messages for evacuation, shelter-in-place, or all-clear scenarios. Store these in your ZonePRO system and assign them to fire alarm triggers.
Is the ZC-FIRE required by building code in the UAE?
Consult your local building authority and fire department for emergency audio system requirements in your region. Procure.ae can help you understand compliance options.
What is the delivery timeframe for the ZC-FIRE interface to GCC locations?
Lead times depend on stock and your specific location. Procure.ae will confirm delivery timing when you order.
Does Procure.ae provide integration support for fire alarm connectivity?
Procure.ae offers consultation on fire safety system integration and can recommend qualified local technicians. Contact our team with your fire alarm and audio system details.
What signals does the ZC-FIRE accept from the fire alarm panel?
The ZC-FIRE accepts relay contact closures or control voltage signals (0-10V or similar). Contact Procure.ae to verify compatibility with your specific fire alarm panel outputs.
Does the ZC-FIRE include a battery backup for power loss?
Contact Procure.ae for specifications on backup power options. Emergency systems may have dedicated UPS requirements; our team can recommend proper backup solutions.
How is the ZC-FIRE mounted, and what space does it require?
