C-TEC ZFP 6 Loop Large Fire Panel w/ Blank Modules (Apollo Protocol) (ZFP6L/X)

The C-TEC ZFP6L/X is a 6-loop ZFP touchscreen-controlled addressable fire alarm panel in C-TEC’s large cabinet, supplied as the blank-module variant (Z41 touchscreen control module with ZBLANK blank modules, no additional zone LED or switch modules fitted). It drives Apollo XP95 and Discovery protocol detectors, call points and interfaces, and accepts standby batteries from 7Ah up to 38Ah.

Key features

• Touchscreen-controlled addressable fire panel from C-TEC’s ZFP range
• Rapid loop learn, flexible cause & effects and powerful system diagnostics
• Hi-integrity fault-tolerant RS485 networking option (optional ZHN card) for up to 64 network nodes
• Optional ‘A-Bus’ expansion PCBs, paging and graphics interface facilities
• Intuitive PC programming tools
• 6 Apollo XP95/Discovery compatible loop drivers
• Certified to EN54-2 & EN54-4 by Intertek
• Build your own configuration by adding C-TEC switch & indicator modules and A-Bus PCBs
