CTEC 2 ZONE CONVENTIONAL FIRE ALARM PANEL

C-TEC 2 Zone Conventional Fire Alarm Panel is a compact and reliable solution for small to medium-sized commercial and residential buildings. It’s designed to detect and alert occupants to fire emergencies, providing essential safety measures.

C-tec 2 zone fire panel It operates using a conventional fire alarm system where detectors and call points are wired on dedicated zones.

Features of CTEC 2 Zone Conventional Fire Alarm Panel;

1. Zones and Detection
   • The panel supports 2 detection zones. Each zone can have multiple fire detectors (such as smoke detectors, heat detectors) and manual call points (MCPs).
   • Conventional zones are typically wired in a radial circuit (end-of-line resistors are used to monitor the health of the circuit).
2. Alarm and Indication
   • The panel provides visual and audible indicators for fire and fault conditions. LEDs indicate zone fire, fault, and disabled conditions.
   • Built-in sounder circuits provide an output to trigger bells, sounders, or other audible devices in case of an alarm.
3. Control and Programming
   • Simple front-panel controls for Reset, Silence, and Evacuate, which are usually key-operated to prevent unauthorized access.
   • Basic programming options are available for configuring zone delays, sounder delays, and non-latching zones.
4. Power Supply and Battery Backup
   • The panel is powered by a mains supply with an internal power supply unit (PSU) that also charges the backup batteries.
   • Supports standby batteries to ensure continued operation in case of a mains power failure, usually up to 24 hours standby and 30 minutes in alarm condition.
5. Maintenance and Testing
   • The panel typically includes a test mode that allows easy testing of the system without triggering full alarms.
   • LED indicators provide easy identification of faults, such as earth faults, battery faults, or open/short circuit conditions on zones.
6. Outputs
   • The panel may include additional relay outputs for integration with other systems such as fire suppression systems, building management systems, or remote monitoring.
7. Ease of Installation
   • Designed for ease of installation and maintenance, the panel is compact, wall-mounted, and has straightforward wiring terminals for connecting detectors, call points, sounders, and other devices.
