C-Tec XFP501-CA XFP 1 Loop 32 Zone Addressable Fire Panel (C-TEC CAST protocol)

XFP 1 Loop 32 Zone Addressable Fire Panel (C-TEC CAST protocol)

Addressable Fire Systems C-Tec Cast XFP 1-2 Loop Fire Panels

PROTOCOL FEATURES:

‘CAST’ is the world’s most-advanced ‘distributed intelligence’ fire alarm system protocol. Conceived, designed and realised by C-TEC, it involved the creation of a powerful proprietary communication protocol (C-TEC Addressable System Technology, CAST) and multiple control panels & field devices. Key features include:

• 255 devices per loop.
• Autonomous decision-making for faster response times.
• 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.
• High-speed data transmission and robust data transfer.
• Geographical location of short and open circuit faults.

PANEL FEATURES:

• Certified to EN54-2/4 by the Loss Prevention Certification Board (LPCB) and EN54-13 by Kiwa Telefication.
• Two independently programmable conventional sounder circuits.
• Two programmable inputs.
• A fault output relay and three programmable relay outputs with voltage free changeover contacts.
• A selection of zone dependency/coincidence functions.
• A day/night (building occupied/unoccupied) function.
• An investigation delay period function.
• Phased evacuation facility.
• An alarm counter that records how many times the panel has been in alarm state.
• Powerful short circuit protected loop drivers.
• An integral EN54-4/A2 switch mode PSU.
• Earth fault monitoring.
• Combined keypad / keyswitch entry to Access Levels 2 and 3.
• Intuitive PC programming softare.
• Up to 8 XFP main panels (any variant) can be connected onto a two-wire RS485 non-redundant network. Alternatively, up to 8 XFP repeaters can be connected to any non-networked main panel
• FULL compatibility with our ENVISION Cloud-based Remote Access, Data Management, Commissioning & Maintenance Software,
• Designed and manufactured in the UK.
