Conventional Fire Alarms

C-TEC’s MFP Range of conventional fire alarm control panels fills the gap between low cost, low specification fire alarm control panels and high price, high specification equipment.

Expandable from 4 to 28 zones in four zone steps, the MFP's balance of features and competitive pricing makes it ideal for a variety of applications, ranging from new installations to upgrades and extensions of new systems.

Easy to follow wiring instructions are printed adjacent to the terminals of all variants and a lift-off lid guarantees an easy first fix and straightforward maintenance.

Fully compliant with BS 5839 Part 4 and the head removal requirements of BS 5839 Part 1, a variety of ‘add on’ boards are also available, converting the MFP into one of the most sophisticated fire panels available.

MFP Range Features

• Fully compliant with BS5839 Part 4.
• Microprocessor based design.
• Robust metal lid and metal back box.
• Attractive easy-to-clean polycarbonate front label.
• Four sounder circuits and head out (detector removed) fault indication provided as standard.
• Expandable from 4 to 28 zones in 4 zone steps.
• Heavy-duty base connections.
• Ultra-bright, long-life LED indicators.
• Built-in 24V power supply and battery charger.
• End of line units included (one per zone).
• Compatibility with virtually all known conventional smoke and heat detector ranges.
• True three wire operation of sounder and detector circuits (Ov is common) for considerable cost savings on installation.
• Separate indication of open circuit fault, short circuit fault, head out fault, sounder fault and battery/power supply fault.
• Non-latching 'class change' sounder input, latching fire and non-latching fault outputs (available via optional MFPX expansion loom).
• Fault buzzer mute facility.
• Space available for the rated capacity of VRLA batteries.
• Short circuit = fire facility (pre-1980 BS, no resistors in call points), selectable on a zone by zone basis for retro-installations.
• Non-latching zones facility for cross connection to other panels.
• True battery monitoring circuit.
• Wide range of engineer facilities including one man detector test, sounder walk test, sounder isolate, sounder delay and auxiliary isolate.
• Easy to follow installation instructions and log book.
• Up to eight two-wire repeaters with full external control (except isolate) per system (requires one FF596T Repeater Transmitter PCB fitted at the main panel).
• Multilingual variants available (subject to quantities).
