C-Tec CFP 4 Zone Conventional Fire Panel

C-Tec CFP 4 Zone Conventional Fire Panel is an excellent choice for smaller buildings that require a simple, robust, and reliable fire detection system. It offers easy installation, straightforward operation, and sufficient flexibility to meet most conventional fire alarm needs.

C-Tec CFP 4 Zone Conventional Fire Panel is a reliable fire alarm control panel designed for small to medium-sized buildings. It operates as a conventional fire alarm system, where each detection zone is connected to a set of detectors and call points wired in parallel. The CFP panel series is known for its simplicity, ease of installation, and robust performance.

Features of the C-Tec CFP 4 Zone Conventional Fire Panel;

1. Zones and Detection
   • Supports 4 detection zones, with each zone capable of monitoring a series of conventional smoke detectors, heat detectors, and manual call points (MCPs).
   • Each zone can handle up to 32 devices (detectors, call points).
   • Zones are monitored for open and short circuits and use End-of-Line (EOL) resistors for circuit monitoring.
2. Alarm and Indication
   • Features LED indicators for fire, fault, and zone disablement for each zone.
   • Common fire, fault, and power LEDs on the front panel provide quick visual status information.
   • Two on-board sounder circuits to control bells, sirens, or sounders, each with separate fault monitoring and sounder delay options.
3. Control and Programming
   • Simple front panel controls for Reset, Silence/Resound, and Evacuate, which can be activated via a key switch to prevent unauthorized use.
   • Basic programming capabilities, such as setting delays for alarm activation and configuring non-latching zones.
4. Power Supply and Battery Backup
   • Equipped with an integral mains-powered power supply unit (PSU) with battery charging capability.
   • Supports up to 2 x 12V 3.2Ah sealed lead-acid batteries for standby power in case of mains failure, providing up to 24 hours standby and 30 minutes of alarm operation.
5. Maintenance and Testing
   • Maintenance Mode allows the panel to be tested without activating the full alarm system.
   • Faults such as open circuits, short circuits, earth faults, and battery faults are indicated with corresponding LED lights.
6. Outputs
   • The panel provides relay outputs for Fire and Fault conditions for interfacing with other building management or monitoring systems.
   • Additional output relays for auxiliary equipment (e.g., fire door controls, smoke vent controls).
7. Ease of Installation
   • Compact, wall-mounted design for easy installation.
   • Clear labeling of terminals and connections for detectors, call points, sounders, and other devices.
   • EOL Resistors (typically 6.8k ohm) are required for each zone and sounder circuit to ensure proper circuit monitoring.
