CAST Programmable Heat Detector supplied by C-TEC
The CAST Programmable Heat Detector from C-TEC is a high quality programmable heat detector for use with C-TEC’s XFP & ZFP ‘CAST’ protocol Addressable Fire Panels.
- Certified to EN54-5 by Intertek
- Can be programmed to operate as a Class A1R (rate of rise), Class A2 (60ºC fixed temperature) or Class B (75ºC fixed temperature) heat detector. Default setting is A2
- Onboard short circuit loop isolator
- Includes two 8mm x 2mm ultra-bright red LED indicating strips
- Different sensitivities can be selected for different times of the day (day/night, building occupied/unoccupied etc)
- Programmable multi-function status LED
- Compatible with C-TEC’s CA408 CAST base c/w integrated locking mechanism & ID tag
‘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.
Key features of the CAST Programmable Heat Detector 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) – due 2017
- 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
- Programmable multi-function status LED
- Future seamless integration with other CAST life safety systems reducing energy, servicing, installation and repair costs
- Designed and manufactured in the UK
