C-Tec XFP fire alarm panels

Fully compliant with EN54 parts 2 & 4, C-TEC’s new range of networkable analogue addressable fire panels offer high performance at a very competitive price.
Available in two different versions (a cost-effective single loop 16-zone panel in a plastic enclosure and a robust 1 or 2 loop 32-zone metal panel), they offer an array of user and installer-friendly features, including:-
1 or 2 loop EN54 networkable analogue addressable fire alarm panels.

Full compatibility with Hochiki’s ESP and Apollo’s XP95, Discovery and Xplorer protocols
The ability to interconnect up to eight XFP main panels (any variant) plus an additional four XFP repeaters per main onto two wire RS485 networks.
Two independently programmable conventional sounder circuits
Two programmable inputs
A fault output relay and three programmable relay outputs with voltage free changeover contacts
Selection of zone dependency/coincidence functions (allows zones to be individually programmed to be Type A, B or C.  Selecting ‘Type A’ sets the zone up so no action will be taken on the first detected alarm unless there is confirmatory signal from
another zone. Selecting ‘Type B’ sets the zone up so the first detected alarm will be indicated, but a full fire condition will only
be established if there is a confirmatory signal from the same zone. Selecting ‘Type C’ sets the zone up so the panel enters a fire
condition on the first detected alarm but certain outputs are inhibited until a confirmatory alarm).
A day/night (building occupied/unoccupied) function (allows the operational characteristics of the panel to be changed at a pre-determined time. Engineer programmable day/night changes include detector sensitivity (high/low) and zone dependency settings)
An investigation delay period function (programmable for length of time, which zone(s) it applies to and whether or not it operates in day/night mode)
Individual sensitivity settings for each device
A phased evacuation facility
An alarm counter that records the number of times the panel has been in an alarm state (to meet clause 7.13 of EN54-2)
Powerful short circuit protected loop drivers, capable of supporting up to 40 loop powered 10mA sounders per loop
An integral EN54 switch mode PSU rated @ 185-260V a.c. 50/60Hz (1.4A on 16 zone panel, 3A on 32 zone panel)
Adjustable contamination levels
Earth fault monitoring
Push button access code or keyswitch entry to Access Levels 2 and 3 (depending on model purchased)
An easy to read, 80 character back-lit display
40 characters of custom text per device
999 event monitoring
Comprehensive test, maintenance & commissioning functions (including auto-learn loops, monitor a point, test outputs, one man walk test and loop continuity test)
An intuitive Windows based upload-download PC program that allows the system to be programmed quickly and easily Sophisticated sounder group mapping and complex cause and effect scenarios can be easily implemented using the XFP’s intuitive upload-download programming software.
