A miniature input output unit with a 1A 30V DC volt free changeover relay that can be used to trigger rollershutters, door locking mechanisms, gas shut-off valves, smoke vents and more.
LPCB certified to EN54-17 & 18 and Kiwa Telefication & DBI certified to EN54-13.
EN54-13 & NTN 179L: 2021 certified by Belgian certification body BOSEC.
Also certified to the relevant parts of EN54 with Swedish certification body SBSC.
Includes a switch monitor, signal relay and onboard loop isolator.
7mA typical alarm current (1mA typical quiescent current) @ 22-40V DC.
Four plastic tabs for surface or panel mounting.
Changeover relay can also switch 0.3A @125V AC.
Switch +Ve, –Ve, LED +V, –Ve and changeover relay connections
Future header pin offers expansion opportunities for peripheral I/O devices.

More Information

‘CAST’ is the world’s most-advanced ‘distributed intelligence’ fire alarm system protocol. Conceived, designed and realised by C-TEC, it involved the creation of a powerful proprietary communication protocol (C-TEC Addressable System Technology, CAST) and multiple control panels & field devices. 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) via our CAST-PRO devices.
• Volumes, tones & detector modes can be changed at compatible panels.
• High-speed data transmission and robust data transfer.
• Intrinsically EN54-13 compliant.
• Geographical location of short and open circuit faults (a short circuit isolator is included as standard in every CAST field device).
• Replace device function.
• Future seamless integration with other CAST life safety systems reducing energy, servicing, installation and repair costs.
• Designed and manufactured in the UK.
