Compatibility notes
- XFP and ZFP panels are protocol-specific. Match the panel to the loop devices: Apollo XP95/Discovery, Hochiki ESP or C-TEC CAST.
- Replacement motherboards are also sold per protocol, so check the suffix (for example /MX for Apollo) before ordering.
- AlarmSense panels need AlarmSense-compatible devices. Standard CFP panels use separate detection zones and sounder circuits.

C-TEC FAQs
What is C-TEC CAST?
CAST is C-TEC's own addressable protocol. XFP and ZFP panels are available in CAST versions, and CAST-PRO detectors include an onboard short circuit loop isolator.
What is the difference between C-TEC CFP, XFP and ZFP?
CFP panels are conventional, with 2 to 8 zones. XFP panels are compact 1 or 2 loop addressable panels. ZFP panels scale from 1 to 8 loops and can be networked for larger buildings.
What is a C-TEC AlarmSense panel?
AlarmSense is C-TEC's two-wire system, where detectors, call points and sounders share the same pair of wires on each zone. This can save cabling on smaller sites.
Does C-TEC make disabled toilet alarms?
Yes. The Quantec range includes accessible toilet alarm kits such as the QT951 addressable kit, and SigTEL covers Type B disabled refuge outstations.
