C-TEC CAST Wall Voice Sounder VAD Deep Red-(CTEC-CA447A/DR)
The C-TEC CAST Wall Voice Sounder VAD Deep Red (CTEC-CA447A/DR) is a high-output, addressable wall-mounted voice sounder and visual alarm device (VAD) designed for C-TEC CAST protocol addressable fire alarm systems. Combining clear voice messages with a powerful visual alarm, this device provides effective audible and visual notification during fire alarm conditions. Its deep red enclosure and deep base make it a practical choice for commercial, industrial and public-sector fire alarm applications.
Designed for high intelligibility, the CTEC-CA447A/DR features four selectable volume levels and supports multiple selectable voice messages, helping provide clear emergency instructions to occupants. The unit also incorporates an onboard short-circuit loop isolator, group addressing functionality and synchronised VAD operation. With W-2.75-9 or W-4-4 VAD coverage depending on mounting position, it offers flexible visual alarm coverage for compatible CAST systems.
The C-TEC CA447A/DR operates from 27–40V DC, with a typical quiescent current of 470µA and a typical alarm current of 26.5mA when the VAD is illuminated and the sounder is operating at maximum output. The device is rated IP33C, measures approximately 114mm in diameter by 131.6mm deep including the base, and is designed for operating temperatures from -10°C to +55°C. Its combination of voice messaging, sounder and VAD functionality makes it a versatile component for compatible C-TEC CAST fire alarm systems.
