CAST CA414 Programmable Multi-Sensor Fire Detector (CA414)

CAST CA414 Programmable Multi-Sensor Fire Detector

The CA414 is a high-quality programmable multi-sensor detector for use with C-Tec's XFP & ZFP 'CAST' protocol addressable 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.

Features

• A high-quality programmable multi-sensor detector for use with C-Tec's XFP & ZFP CAST protocol addressable fire panels.
• LPCB certified to EN54-5, 7 & 17 and CEA 4021. Also Kiwa Telefication certified to EN54-13.
• Onboard programmable heat & smoke sensors make it deal for detecting a wide range of fires whilst also reducing false alarms.
• Multiple sensitivity/sensor settings.
• Smart algorithms help reduce false alarms.
• Drift compensation functionality.
• 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).
• 5mA typical alarm current (370uA typical quiescent current) @ 22-40V DC.
• Programmable multi-function status LED.
• Compatible with C-Tec's CA408 CAST base c/w integrated locking mechanism & ID tag.

Specifications

• Approvals/Certifications : LPCB certified to EN54-5, 7 & 17 and CEA 4021. Also Kiwa Telefication certified to EN54-13.
• Compatibility : Compatible with C-TEC's XFP/ZFP CAST protocol addressable fire panels
• Type : Multi-Sensor
• Application/Operation : As well as operating independently, the CA414’s smoke & heat sensors combine to produce a sensitive response to freely burning fires, e.g. when a rise in heat is detected, its smoke response level reduces for improved detection and reduced false alarms.
• Sensitivity : Mode 1: High Optical + A2 Heat ; Mode 2: Standard Optical; Mode 3: Standard Optical +A2 Heat; Mode 4: Low Optical + A2 Heat; Mode 5: Class A1R Heat.
• Supply Wiring : 2-wire, polarity sensitive
• Supply/Operating Voltage : 22 to 40V DC
• Quiescent Current : 370µA typical @ 22 to 40V DC
• Alarm Current : 5mA typical (LEDs illuminated) @ 22 to 40V DC
