C-TEC ZFP 8 Loop 5A CAST Large Cabinet-(CTEC-ZFP8L/CA)

The C-TEC ZFP 8 Loop 5A CAST Large Cabinet (CTEC-ZFP8L/CA) is a powerful, networkable 8-loop addressable fire alarm control panel designed for larger and more demanding fire detection and alarm systems. Featuring C-TEC’s advanced CAST (C-TEC Addressable System Technology) protocol, the ZFP provides distributed intelligence, fast data communication and flexible system configuration. The large cabinet format provides additional space for system expansion modules, making it well suited to larger commercial, industrial and multi-zone fire alarm applications.

With eight addressable loops, the C-TEC ZFP 8 Loop can support up to 255 addressable devices per loop, subject to system configuration and manufacturer specifications. CAST field devices incorporate short-circuit isolation, while the panel provides monitored loop operation and sophisticated fault diagnostics. The system also supports flexible cause-and-effect programming, programmable zonal indication and high-integrity RS485 networking, providing a scalable solution for complex fire alarm installations.

The ZFP8L/CA large cabinet incorporates a 5A EN54-4 power supply and battery charger and accommodates larger standby batteries, helping provide dependable power management for larger systems. A full-colour 4.3-inch touchscreen control module provides intuitive access to system information, controls and programming functions. With its combination of CAST technology, eight-loop capacity, networking capability and expansion options, the C-TEC ZFP 8 Loop CAST Fire Alarm Panel is an excellent choice for scalable, high-capacity addressable fire alarm systems.
