C-TEC XFP 1 Loop 32 Zone Addressable Fire Panel (XP95/Discovery Protocol) (XFP501/X)

The C-TEC XFP501/X is a single loop, 32 zone analogue addressable fire alarm panel for Apollo XP95 and Discovery protocol devices. It is LPCB certified to EN54-2 and EN54-4, comes in a durable metal enclosure and suits small stand-alone sites as well as larger buildings, as up to eight XFP master panels can be networked. It is also compatible with C-TEC's Hush Button solution and its EN54 certified addressable sounders and VADs.
