Conventional Fire Panels

C-TEC manufactures three distinct ranges of conventional fire alarm panel:-

  • The CFP 2-8 Zone EN54-2/4 fire panel
  • The MFP 4-28 Zone BS5839-4 fire panel
  • The FP 1-14 Zone BS5839-4 fire panel

All three ranges are renowned throughout the life safety industry for their installability, reliability and price.

CFP STND BUTTON PANEL
Our award-winning CFP EN54 fire panel comes in three distinct flavours – standard, economy and LPCB approved. Supplied in an attractive flush or surface mountable plastic enclosure, all three variants come with 2, 4 or 8 detection circuits and feature 4 conventional sounder circuits, 2 inputs (class change and alert) and 4 outputs (fire 1, fire 2, fault and reset). A wide range of engineering functions are also available including – dependent on the model purchased – selectable zone delays, coincidence, non-latching zones and comprehensive fault diagnostics facilities. Attractively designed and extremely cost-effective, the CFP is fully compliant with EN54 parts 2 & 4, the new European standard for fire alarm control and indicating equipment that is referenced in the UK’s updated code of practice for fire alarm system design, installation and maintenance, (BS5839 part 1 2002). Push button and keyswitch versions of the CFP are available.
Our MFP 4 to 28 Zone BS fire panel was designed to fill the gap between low cost, low specification fire panels and higher priced, higher specification equipment. Expandable from 4 to 28 zones in 4 zone steps, the MFP’s balance of features (4 sounder circuits, head-out fault indication and two on-board fire relays) plus its compatibility with a wide range of expansion boards makes it one of the most sophisticated BS5839-4 compliant fire panels available. Extremely popular in the Middle East and other non-European countries, the MFP boasts a wide range of engineer functions including one man detector test, sounder walk test, sounder isolate, sounder delay, auxiliary isolate and an optional short-circuit = fire facility (pre-1980 BS, no resistors in call points).

Our FP 1-14 Zone BS fire panel has been protecting people and property for almost two decades. Like the MFP, it is supplied in a robust metal enclosure with a lift-off lid and heavy-duty base connections to help promote an easy first fix and straightforward maintenance. The FP’s broad compatibility with virtually all known conventional smoke and heat detector ranges – a feature common to all of C-TEC’s conventional fire panels - and its ability to interpret a short circuit in any zone(s) as a fire or fault make it particularly useful for retro-installations. Optional head out monitoring units are also available for systems requiring compliance with BS5839-1 (1988). An FP Automatic Extinguisher panel is also available, visit our downloads section for details.
