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.

Full options are:-
Mode 1: High Sensitivity Smoke (0.1dB/m; 2.3%) – no heat; no CO.
Mode 2: Normal Sensitivity Smoke (0.24dB/m; 5.4%) – no heat; no CO.
Mode 3: Heat Only A1R – no smoke; no CO.
Mode 4: Heat Only A2 – no smoke; no CO.
Mode 5: Heat Only B – no smoke; no CO.
Mode 6: High Sensitivity Smoke (0.1dB/m; 2.3%) + A1R heat – no CO.
Mode 7: Normal Sensitivity Smoke (0.24dB/m; 5.4%) + A1R heat; no CO.
Mode 8: Normal Sensitivity Smoke (0.24dB/m; 5.4%) + A2 heat; no CO.
Mode 9: High Sensitivity Smoke (0.1dB/m; 2.3%) + A1R heat + CO to EN54-31 NT*
Mode 10: Normal Sensitivity Smoke (0.24dB/m; 5.4%) + A2 heat + CO to EN54-31 NT*
Mode 11: Low Sensitivity Smoke (2.5dB/m; 43.8%), no heat + CO to EN54-31 MT**
