Product Details for C-TEC C-3-8 Base VAD c/w Voice Sounder (XP95/Discovery Compatible) (BF457A/CX/W)
The C-TEC BF457A/CX/W is an addressable, loop-powered voice sounder base and C-3-8 VAD which is compatible with XP95 / Discovery protocol systems and designed for use with C-TEC’s ZFP and XFP fire panels.
The Base Mount range of addressable, loop-powered bases includes voice sounders and combined voice sounder visual alarm devices (VADs). Their purpose is to visually and audibly alert building occupants of a fire alarm. They are designed for use with C-TEC’s ZFP/XFP Apollo Discovery protocol panels and other third-party Apollo Discovery protocol panels. However, compatibility testing with third-party panels is recommended to ensure correct operation.
All bases can be optionally used as either:
– a stand-alone base using a separately available locking white cap (BF330CTLIDW) / red cap (BF330CTLIDR), or
– a combined, base and Apollo detector (Apollo detectors are separately available).
The bases offer low current consumption, high sound output, high efficiency VADs, seven selectable volume levels, 15 selectable tone pairs and built-in short-circuit loop isolators.
The combined sounder and VAD on the BF455A/CX/W and BF457A/CX/W bases can be set to operate independently of each other (panel dependent function).
All bases are designed to comply with all relevant sections of the fire alarm device standards EN 54-3 (Sounders), EN 54-23 (Visual alarm devices – VADs) and EN 54-17 (Short-circuit isolators).
