Addressable Fire Systems
Apollo XP95/Discovery protocol
A journey of XP95/Discovery
By utilising the same timings, voltage, current specifications and type codes of Apollo’s original Series 90 protocol, the system’s XP95/Discovery platform has stood the test of time. Add to this the benefits of C-TEC’s XP95/Discovery compatible fire panels, sounders, VADs and hush buttons and you have a system that is a winning combination all hands down.
Clever ‘Xpert’ card addressing, speedy response times, third-party certification and open protocol availability, what more can a life safety specialist ask?
X marks the spot!
C-TEC’s market-leading EN54 certified XFP addressable fire panel offers optimum performance at a very competitive price. Available as a cost-effective single loop 16 zone panel in a plastic enclosure or a robust 1 or 2 loop 32 zone metal panel, it offers an array of user and installer-friendly features including powerful 500mA loop drivers, keypad AND keyswitch entry, two programmable conventional sounder circuits, multiple engineer facilities and the ability to interconnect up to eight XFP main panels or eight XFP repeaters onto a two wire RS485 network.
Super Loopers
Our super-advanced ZFP 1-8 loop touchscreen-controlled fire panels represent a revolution in fire alarm technology. With a vast selection of panels, modules, controllers and ancillary ‘A-Bus’ PCBs available, creating your own ZFP experience is easy! Choose from three cabinet sizes, our pre-built off-the-shelf panels or build your own ZFP using our easy-to-use selection charts. Certified to EN54, its powerful programming tools allow systems to be configured to suit any application, from small ‘one out all out’ systems to large multi-loop networked systems.
Intelligent Design
Apollo’s XP95/Discovery intelligent fire detection devices include high-performance ionisation and optical smoke detectors, multiple heat detectors and multi-sensors for all types of fire risk or environment. Compliant with the relevant parts of EN54, they are fully compatible with C-TEC’s XP95/Discovery XFP and ZFP addressable fire panels.
Manual Magic
Certified to EN54-11, Apollo’s intelligent manual call point is suitable for all types of indoor application. Featuring a red LED alarm indicator and an amber/yellow LED fault indicator, it includes a built-in isolator removing the need for additional isolation devices. A weatherproof version is also available.
VADs to be had
Utilising the latest advances in sounder and LED technology, C-TEC’s EN54 certified addressable Sounder/VADs are compatible with C-TEC’s entire range of ZFP and XFP XP95/Discovery fire panels. Three types are available – ‘Base’ – providing C-3-8 coverage and designed for use as part of a stacked sounder/VAD/detector base combination, ‘Hi-Output’ – a high-performance W-3.2-8.2 rated wall-mounting range and ‘Compact’ – a range of six variants offering C-3-8 or W-3-3.1 coverage. All models are available with or without an onboard sounder. Non-EN54 certified visual indicators are also available.
Creative Couplings
XP95/Discovery interfaces are designed to connect sprinklers, door release units, conventional detection and alarm devices and more to an XP95/Discovery fire alarm system. Cleverly designed and easy-to-install, choose from an extensive selection of input output units, sounder control units and switch monitors. A selection of XP95 isolators and XP95 isolating bases are also available designed for sensing and isolating short circuit faults on loops and spurs.
Hush It Up!
C-TEC’s Hush Button fire alarm solution is a major breakthrough in the battle against false alarms in houses of multiple occupation. Fully compatible with our XP95/Discovery ZFP and XFP fire panels, they provide residents with the means to silence false alarms themselves should they set the fire alarm off accidentally, helping to prevent unnecessary building evacuations, expensive fire service call outs and the likelihood of a true fire alarm signal being ignored.
Power to the people
With fire legislation in many countries now stating any power supply performing a mandatory function of a fire alarm system must be certified to EN54-4, C-TEC’s range of switch-mode VdS certified power supplies has come into its own. Ideal for controlling beam detectors, auto-dial communicators, aspirating smoke detectors, electromagnetic door holders, ventilation systems and more, the range comprises 1.5A, 3A and 5A 24V units and a 2A 12V unit. A comprehensive range of non-EN54 PSUs is also available.
Stand by me
All life safety systems require a good quality standby battery supply. Whether it’s a fire panel, power supply, disabled refuge controller or even a third-party piece of equipment, our range of VRLA batteries can provide the power you need.
