Description

XFP 2 Loop 32 Zone Addressable Fire Panel (C-TEC CAST protocol)

 

C-TEC’s tried and trusted XFP two loop 32 zone addressable fire alarm panel – now available with C-TEC’s own digital fire alarm system protocol, CAST.

 

With a powerful 40V 500mA loop driver allowing the connection of up to 255 CAST devices, the installation of a cost-effective, feature-packed addressable fire alarm system has never been easier.

 

Always thought of the XFP as an entry-level fire panel? Think again. Thanks to CAST’s multiple type codes, high speed data transmission and two speedy soft addressing options (automatic via the panel or manually via a handheld programmer/device tester), it is undoubtedly one of the most powerful single loop fire panels around. This, and its ability to sit on a network of up to 8 XFP master panels, makes it ideal for use in small to medium sized stand-alone applications and larger, more sophisticated installations alike.

PROTOCOL FEATURES:

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) – due 2019.
  • 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.
  • Programmable multi-function status LED.
  • Future seamless integration with other CAST life safety systems reducing energy, servicing, installation and repair costs.
  • Designed and manufactured in the UK.

 

PANEL FEATURES:

  • Certified to EN54-2/4 by the Loss Prevention Certification Board (LPCB).
  • 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.
  • Adjustable contamination levels.
  • Earth fault monitoring.
  • Combined keypad / keyswitch entry to Access Levels 2 and 3.
  • 999 event monitoring.
  • An intuitive Windows based upload-download PC program.
  • Up to eight XFP main panels (any variant) can be connected onto a two-wire RS485 non-redundant network. Alternatively, up to eight XFP repeaters can be connected to any non-networked main panel.
