CAST-PRO Black Smoke + Heat Multisensor
- Multiple functionality in a single device – a programmable CAST-PRO smoke & heat multisensor fire detector in a black housing – detects real fires quickly, reduces false alarms effectively and indicates true alarm conditions decisively.
- Certified to EN54-5, 7, 13, 17 & 29 by Kiwa Telefication and to EN54-13 by DBI.
- EN54-13 & NTN 179L: 2021 certified by Belgian certification body BOSEC.
- Compatible with C-TEC’s ZFP and XFP CAST protocol addressable fire panels.
- MASC™ (Miniature Advanced Smoke Detection Chamber) and AFFIRM™ algorithms provide incredible tolerance to false alarms whilst enhancing the detection of real fire conditions.
- Drift compensation functionality.
- Onboard short circuit loop isolator.
- Includes two 8mm x 2mm ultra-bright red LED indicating strips.
- Multiple detection modes.
- <1mA alarm current.
- 570uA typical quiescent current @ 40V DC.
- Compatible with C-TEC’s CA408 CAST base c/w integrated locking mechanism & ID tag.

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.
