Information

A high-quality IP67 rated surface-mounting red manual call point for use with C-TEC’s XFP & ZFP ‘CAST’ protocol Addressable Fire Panels. Onboard short-circuit loop isolator. Smooth-action resettable element mimics the feel of breaking glass. Supplied with reset/back box removal key and ‘Not in Use’ label. Red LED ‘alarm ring’ illuminates call point face upon activation. Photoluminescent operating window remains visible for up to 5 minutes. 5mA typical alarm current (370uA typical quiescent) @ 22-40V DC. ‘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). * 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.
