Information

LPCB certified to EN54-23 & 17 and Kiwa Telefication certified to EN54-13. Provides ‘O-R-3-2.5-18’ rated light distribution. Ideal for use in corridors (mount in a specific orientation for 2.5m width & 18m length rated coverage). See VAD Coverage section below for further details. Onboard short-circuit loop isolator. 7mA typical alarm current (460µA typical quiscemt) @ 27-40V DC. Group addressing facility allows multiple devices to be operated simultaneously. Optional BF330CTLIDW white or BF330CTLIDR red cap available for stand-alone use. IP21C rated. White ceiling fixing plate & detector spur wires included. ‘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.
