The C-TEC XFP501/CA is a single loop 32 zone XFP fire alarm control panel using the C-Tec CAST protocol.

C-TEC's tried and trusted XFP one loop 32 zone addressable fire alarm panel - now available with C-TEC's own digital fire alarm system protocol, CAST and fully certified to EN54 parts 2, 4 and 13.

With a powerful 40V 500mA loop driver allowing the connection of up to 255 CAST devices, the installation of a cost-effective, feature-packed addressable fire alarm system has never been easier.

Thanks to CAST's multiple type codes, high speed data transmission and two speedy soft addressing options (automatic via the panel or manually via a handheld programmer/device tester), it is undoubtedly one of the most powerful single loop fire panels around. This, and its ability to sit on a network of up to 8 XFP master panels, makes it ideal for use in small to medium sized stand-alone applications and larger, more sophisticated installations alike.
