The C-TEC BF460A/CX/W is an addressable base VAD (visual alarm device) giving C-3-8 light coverage (min 0.4 lux over a 3 x 8m cylindrical area) when ceiling mounted. It is designed for C-TEC's XFP and ZFP addressable fire panels running the Apollo XP95/Discovery protocol. It is certified to EN54-23 and EN54-17 by the LPCB and has a built-in short circuit loop isolator.
