C-Tec Addressable Heat Detector

C-TEC Addressable Heat Detector is a crucial component in a fire detection system, particularly in environments where smoke detection may not be practical. With its advanced heat sensing technology, addressable capabilities, and compatibility with leading fire alarm protocols, it provides reliable and effective fire detection for a wide range of applications.

C-tec heat detectors are typically used in conjunction with other fire detection devices, such as smoke detectors, to provide comprehensive fire protection for buildings and facilities.

C-Tec Addressable Heat Detector Features;

1. Addressable Technology: Each heat detector is addressable, meaning it has a unique address within the fire alarm system. This feature allows the control panel to pinpoint the exact location of a heat detection event, ensuring a rapid and accurate response.
2. Compatible with Leading Protocols: The detector is compatible with Apollo XP95/Discovery and Hochiki ESP protocols, making it suitable for integration with C-TEC’s XFP and ZFP series addressable panels and other third-party panels that use these protocols.
3. Advanced Heat Sensing: Available in both fixed temperature and rate-of-rise (ROR) models:
   • Fixed Temperature Detectors: Activate an alarm when the surrounding temperature exceeds a pre-set threshold.
   • Rate-of-Rise (ROR) Detectors: Trigger an alarm when there is a rapid increase in temperature, even if the set threshold hasn’t been reached.
4. Low Profile and Aesthetics: The detector features a low-profile design to blend seamlessly with modern architectural styles, suitable for both commercial and residential applications.
5. Integrated LED Indicators: Built-in LEDs provide clear status information, such as normal operation, fault, or alarm condition.
6. Automatic Drift Compensation: Some models have automatic compensation for sensitivity drift caused by environmental conditions, helping maintain reliable performance over time.
7. Selectable Sensitivity Settings: Sensitivity can be adjusted via the fire panel, allowing customization based on the environment or to reduce the likelihood of false alarms.
8. Robust Construction: Made with high-quality, fire-retardant materials to ensure durability and reliability in harsh conditions.
9. Wide Operating Voltage Range: Typically operates within a voltage range of 17-28V DC, compatible with most addressable fire alarm systems.
10. Self-Test Feature: Some models offer a self-test capability that periodically checks the detector’s functionality and reports any faults to the control panel.
