C-TEC® EP203 three zone automatic extinguishing panel

Description

Our range of smoke detection products varies from Conventional Gas extinguishing panels to “state of the art” touch screen Analogue Addressable systems.

All panels are manufactured in the UK and comply with all required 3rdparty approvals and standard requirements in Africa.

The EP203 three zone automatic extinguishing panel has been specifically designed for use in areas housing expensive, dangerous or irreplaceable items of equipment or data. Third-party approved by the LPCB to EN 12094-1 (the European standard for Fixed Fire fighting Systems -Components for Gas Extinguishing Systems) and EN54 parts 2 and 4, the panel epitomizes quality, durability and reliability.

With the growing emphasis on safeguarding property as well as people, the market for automatic fire suppression systems is booming. The EP203 three zone automatic extinguisher panels from C-TEC have been specifically designed to meet this demand.

C-TEC®  ZFP Touch-Screen Controlled Analogue Addressable Panel

Taking fire alarm technology to a new level.

Every once in a while a product comes along that lifts existing, respected technology to another level. C-TEC’s ZFP is one such product. Created with the input of some of the world’s leading fire alarm and life safety experts, the ZFP is the powerful
Touch-screen controlled fire alarm panel that everyone’s been waiting for.
Designed and built in the UK, the panel can be configured to suit any application. From small ‘one out, all out’ systems to large multi-loop networked systems with sophisticated cause and effects, the ZFP can handle them all – with ease.

Mix and Match

Three master cabinets are available and depending on the cabinet you choose, extra indicator and switch modules can be added, along with additional loop driver PCBs, high-integrity network PCBs, ‘A-BUS’ peripheral PCBs, flush mounting bezels, glazed stainless steel frames and more. With a wide range of ‘off-the-shelf’ ZFPs also available, getting the panel you need for a specific application has never been easier. Although the ZFP panel is in no way obtrusive or an ‘ugly metal box on the wall’, but where aesthetics are perhaps critical, optional state-of-the-art Compact Controllers can be provided. The main panel is simply mounted out of sight and the Compact Controller can be mounted in full view, itself giving enhancement to any modern ‘high-tec’ reception area.

Easy Networking

Up to 64, 8-Loop panels can be connected to the ZFP’s high integrity fault tolerant network. This versatility along with the ability to assign individual zones across the network and up to 38 characters of custom text per device, allows for easy identification of the location of a fire.
