CAST Optical Smoke Detector

The CAST Optical Smoke Detector from C-TEC is a high-quality multi-sensor fire detector offering outstanding detection performance at a very competitive price.

  • Manufactured by C-TEC in the UK.
  • Third-party certified to EN54-5 and 7 by Intertek (also tested to pr-EN54-29)
  • Wide 6-33V DC operating voltage.
  • Two 8mm x 2mm ultra-bright red LED indicating strips offering 360º visibility.
  • Drift compensation functionality ensures detector sensitivity is automatically calibrated to suit prevailing conditions and/or increased contamination levels.
  • Incorporates a heat and smoke sensor making it deal for detecting a wide range of fires whilst also reducing false alarms.
  • Compatible with our ActiV C4408D diode, C4408 non-diode and C4408R relay bases.
