CAST Sounders & VADS supplied by C-TEC
Utilising the latest advances in sounder and LED technology, C-TEC’s EN54 certified addressable Sounder/VADs are compatible with our entire range of ZFP and XFP CAST protocol fire panels.
‘CAST’ is the world’s most-advanced ‘distributed intelligence’ fire alarm system protocol. Conceived, designed and realised by C-TEC as part of a five-year, multi-million pound project, it involved the creation of a powerful proprietary communication protocol (C-TEC Addressable System Technology, CAST) and multiple control panels & field devices. Now available to purchase, its key features include:
- 255 devices per loop.
- Autonomous decision-making for faster response times.
- Multiple type codes.
- 40V loop drive voltage.
- Two ‘soft’ addressing options – automatic via the panel or manual via a powerful handheld programmer.
- Powerful multi-level addressing facilitates easy device addition and swapped device identification.
- Multiple functionality at a single address (integrated devices) – coming soon.
- Volumes, tones & detector modes can be changed at compatible panels.
- High-speed data transmission and robust data transfer.
- Intrinsically EN54-13 compliant.
- Provides geographical location of short and open circuit faults (a short circuit isolator is included as standard in every CAST field device).
- Replace device function.
- Future seamless integration with other CAST life safety systems reducing energy, servicing, installation and repair costs.
- Designed and manufactured in the UK.
