The C-TEC BF456C/CC/W is an ActiV conventional base VAD (visual alarm device) with a 96dB(A) sounder. It is certified to EN54-3 and EN54-23 and gives C-3-8.5 light coverage (min 0.4 lux over a 3 x 8.5m cylindrical area) when ceiling mounted. It works with C-TEC's CFP, FP, MFP and EP203 conventional fire alarm panels and virtually all other makes of conventional panel (C-TEC recommends testing on third-party panels before use).
