• The C-Tec CA414 is a CAST protocol programmable addressable multisensor detector for use on the C-Tec CAST protocol range of fire alarm system equipment.
• A high-quality programmable multi-sensor fire 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.

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. Now available to purchase, its key features include:

• 255 devices per loop.
• Autonomous decision-making for faster response times.
• Multiple type codes.
• 40V loop drive voltage.
• Two ‘soft’ addressing options – automatic via the panel or manual via a powerful handheld programmer.
• Powerful multi-level addressing facilitates easy device addition and swapped device identification.
• Multiple functionality at a single address (integrated devices) - due 2021.
• Volumes, tones & detector modes can be changed at compatible panels.
• High-speed data transmission and robust data transfer.
• Intrinsically EN54-13 compliant.
• Provides geographical location of short and open circuit faults (a short circuit isolator is included as standard in every CAST field device).
• Replace device function.
• Programmable multi-function status LED.
• Future seamless integration with other CAST life safety systems reducing energy, servicing, installation and repair costs.
• Designed and manufactured in the UK.
