C-TEC CA470 Cast Addressable Manual Call Point

C-TEC CA470 Cast Addressable Manual Call Point is a high-quality addressable manual call point (MCP) designed for use with C-TEC’s CAST addressable fire alarm systems. It allows occupants to manually trigger a fire alarm in the event of an emergency, providing a critical component in a comprehensive fire safety strategy.

Addressable Call Points Features;

1. Addressable Technology: The CA470 is an addressable call point, meaning it communicates directly with the control panel to provide its exact location when activated. This allows the fire alarm system to pinpoint the specific call point that triggered the alarm.
2. CAST Protocol Compatibility: Designed to operate on systems using C-TEC’s CAST protocol, providing robust and reliable communication with C-TEC’s CAST-enabled control panels, like the C-TEC ZFP or XFP addressable fire panels.
3. Resettable Element: Equipped with a resettable plastic element that allows the call point to be quickly reset after activation using a simple key, reducing the need for replacement glass and ensuring the device is ready for immediate use after testing or an alarm event.
4. Visible Activation Indicator: A clear activation indicator (typically a red LED) provides visual confirmation that the call point has been triggered, enhancing visibility and usability during emergencies.
5. Easy Installation and Address Setting: Designed for surface or flush mounting, the CA470 is easy to install. It includes a built-in addressable switch mechanism, allowing the address to be set via a rotary switch or a programming tool.
6. Robust Construction: Built with durable materials to withstand tough environments and daily wear and tear, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor use when fitted with the appropriate weatherproof enclosure.
7. Testing and Maintenance Mode: The CA470 allows for easy testing via a key or remote control, and it can be set to a maintenance mode for routine checks without triggering the alarm system.
8. Low Power Consumption: Designed for low current draw, helping to minimize power consumption and extend the life of the system’s power supply.
9. Backwards Compatibility: Can be used alongside other CAST devices, ensuring seamless integration into existing C-TEC CAST-based systems.
10. Compliance: Fully compliant with the relevant British and European standards (e.g., EN 54-11), ensuring reliability and effectiveness as part of a life safety system.
