The C-TEC BF433A/CX/SR is a red, addressable hi-output wall VAD (visual alarm device) with a 103dB(A) sounder, on a shallow base. It gives W-2.4-8.2 light coverage (min 0.4 lux over a 2.4 x 8.2m cuboid area) when wall mounted. It is designed for C-TEC's XFP and ZFP addressable fire panels running the Apollo XP95/Discovery protocol. It is certified to EN54-3, EN54-23 and EN54-17 by the LPCB.
