C-Tec FF392-2

C-TEC’s FP Range of conventional fire alarm control panels is one of the most robust and cost-effective available.

Fully compliant with BS 5839 part 4, the range encompasses no less than ten different variants, covering 1 to 14 zones.

The size, durability and flexibility of the range makes it ideal for use in all types of commercial and residential property including small shops, factories, schools, warehouses, offices and houses in multiple occupation.

Often referred to as ‘the installer’s choice’, easy-to-follow wiring instructions are printed adjacent to the terminals of all variants and a lift-off lid guarantees an easy first fix and straightforward maintenance.

The panel’s broad compatibility with virtually all known smoke and heat detector ranges and its ability to interpret a short circuit in any zone(s) as a fire or fault condition make it particularly useful for retro-installations.

An optional head removal facility (which utilises C-TEC’s BF378 range of end-of-line monitoring units) is also available, making the FP fully compliant with the head removal requirements of BS 5839 part 1.

The quiescent current given is for the following conditions - mains supply failed, fault beeper muted, no aux. output connections, detector and sounder end of line devices fitted, no other loads supplied by the panel. The battery stand-by times are guidelines only based on the above conditions and a full sounder load for 30 minutes. Additional loads that increase the quiescent current in the normal state must be considered when calculating stand-by time. The fault beeper being active will add 10mA and reduced sounder loads will increase the stand-by time. Batteries in poor condition greatly reduce stand-by time.
