Information

LPCB certified to EN54-17 & 18 and Kiwa Telefication certified to EN54-13. A mains-switching version of our CA730 input output module. Capable of switching 5A @ 230 V AC or 5A 30V DC. Incorporates the functions of a switch monitor, zone monitor and output unit. Can be configured to monitor any combination of the following:- • Up to 20 conventional detectors and 10 MCPs. • Any normally open switch with an EOL resistor fitted. • A simple normally open or closed switch (non-fault monitored). Onboard short-circuit loop isolator. 6mA typical alarm current (1.7mA typical quiescent current) @ 22-40V DC. Indicators for Loop polling, input faults and relay status. Includes volt free changeover contacts that can be used to trigger rollershutter doors, gas shut-off valves, smoke vents, etc. Mountable on a C-TEC NCP-26 surface box or a standard UK 25mm double gang back box (not supplied). ‘CAST’ is the world’s most-advanced ‘distributed intelligence’ fire alarm system protocol. Conceived, designed and realised by C-TEC as part of a five-year, multi-million pound project, it involved the creation of a powerful proprietary communication protocol (C-TEC Addressable System Technology, CAST) and multiple control panels & field devices. Now available to purchase, its key features include: * 255 devices per loop. * Autonomous decision-making for faster response times. * Multiple type codes. * 40V loop drive voltage. * Two ‘soft’ addressing options – automatic via the panel or manual via a powerful handheld programmer. * Powerful multi-level addressing facilitates easy device addition and swapped device identification. * Multiple functionality at a single address (integrated devices) – coming soon. * Volumes, tones & detector modes can be changed at compatible panels. * High-speed data transmission and robust data transfer. * Intrinsically EN54-13 compliant. * Provides geographical location of short and open circuit faults (a short circuit isolator is included as standard in every CAST field device). * Replace device function. * Future seamless integration with other CAST life safety systems reducing energy, servicing, installation and repair costs. * Designed and manufactured in the UK.
