C-Tec Addressable Smoke Detector

C-TEC Addressable Smoke Detector is a fire detection device designed for use with C-TEC’s range of addressable fire alarm control panels, such as the XFP and ZFP series. These detectors are part of a comprehensive fire safety system that allows for precise monitoring, identification, and response to fire events within a building.

C-TEC addressable smoke detectors are engineered to provide accurate and early detection of smoke, which is often an indicator of fire. These detectors are addressable, meaning each detector has a unique address or identification on the fire alarm system loop. This allows the control panel to pinpoint the exact location of a detected fire, providing a faster and more targeted response.

CA416 CAST Optical Smoke Detector Features;

1. Compatible with Leading Protocols: C-TEC addressable smoke detectors are compatible with Apollo XP95/Discovery or Hochiki ESP protocols, ensuring compatibility with C-TEC’s XFP and ZFP series addressable panels and other third-party panels that use these protocols.
2. Optical Smoke Detection: Utilizes optical (photoelectric) technology to detect the presence of smoke particles. This makes it highly effective in identifying smoldering fires, which produce visible smoke before generating significant heat.
3. Integrated LED Indicators: Built-in LED indicators provide visual status information. A steady or flashing LED typically indicates normal operation, fault, or fire alarm condition.
4. Low Profile and Aesthetics: Designed with a low-profile housing to blend seamlessly with the building’s interior, making it suitable for modern architectural environments.
5. Automatic Drift Compensation: The detector automatically adjusts for contamination or dirt build-up over time, maintaining reliable detection performance and reducing false alarms.
6. Easy Maintenance and Replacement: Detectors are designed for easy removal and replacement from the base, simplifying maintenance routines.
7. Selectable Sensitivity Settings: Sensitivity can be adjusted via the fire panel, allowing the detector to be set to suit different environments or to reduce false alarms in challenging areas.
8. Self-Test Capability: Some models have self-test features that periodically check their own status and report any faults back to the control panel.
9. Wide Operating Voltage Range: Typically operates within a voltage range of 17-28V DC, compatible with most addressable fire alarm control systems.
