XFP Addressable Fire Panels

C-TEC’s XFP range of networkable analogue addressable fire panels offer high performance at a competitive price.

Third-party certified to the latest versions of EN54 parts 2 & 4 by the Loss Prevention Certification Board, the XFP is available in three different formats – 1 loop 16 zone, 1 loop 32 zone and 2 loop 32 zone.

Up to eight XFP master panels (any variant) can be interconnected, making the range ideal for use in larger applications such as office blocks, shopping complexes and big industrial sites as well as in smaller, stand-alone applications due to its competitive price.

The XFP is also fully compatible with C-TEC’s Hush Button fire alarm solution for Houses of Multiple Occupation.

Key XFP features (available across the range) include:

• Third-party certified to EN54-2/4 by the Loss Prevention Certification Board (LPCB)
• Full compatibility with Hochiki’s ESP and Apollo’s XP95/Discovery protocols (dependent on model purchased).
• 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, capable of supporting up to 40 loop powered 10mA sounders per loop
• 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
• Optional flush-mounting stainless steel enclosures (for use with 32 zone panels only)
• Up to eight XFP main panels (any variant) can be connected onto a two-wire RS485 network. Alternatively, up to eight XFP repeaters can be connected to any non-networked main panel.

Discovery UL Photo-Electric Smoke Detector

The Discovery UL Photo-Electric Smoke Detector works using the light scatter principle and is ideal for applications where slow-burning or smouldering fires are likely.

• responds well to slow burning, smouldering fires
• well suited for bedrooms and escape routes
• unaffected by wind or atmospheric pressure
• remote test failure

Discovery UL Heat Detector

The Discovery UL Heat Detector, distinguishable by the low airflow resistant case, uses a single thermistor to sense the air temperature around the detector.

• ideal for enviroments that are dirty or smoky under normal conditions
• well suited for warehouses, loading docks and parking garages
• unaffected by wind or atmospheric pressure
• remote test feature

Apollo XP95 Addressable Call Point

Apollo Fire have manufactured the high quality high performance XP95 range of Analogue Addressable Fire Alarm System Equipment. This range includes detectors, sounder, beacons, interfaces and also a wide range of XP95 Call Point units.

Within the Apollo XP95 Call Point range there are several options available. These include addressable call points with or without a short circuit isolator and also a weatherproof version. the standard interior XP95 Call Point units are suitable for both flush and surface mounting.

Each XP95 Call Point comes supplied complete with a surface mouting backbox, installation instructions and a test / reset key. These break glass units also have a hinged cover available which stops any accidental false alarms, as the hinged cover needs to be lifted in order to active the XP95 Call Point.

Discovery UL Open-Area Sounder Visual Indicator

The Discovery UL Open-Area Sounder Visual Indicator makes full use of the Discovery protocol and has been designed for use in indoor, open-areas and outdoors. When the fire system is being commissioned a Magnetic Wand can be used to adjust and test each sounder locally.

• 15 tone pairs
• It is possible to set individual control of the sounder and visual indicator
• Volume and tone settings can be selected from the control panel
• Tones can be used for other purposes in addition to warning of fire making the device ideal for use in schools etc.
• Soft start option, ideal for hospitals and nursing homes
• Group and global control for increased response time
