Application

4–8 way flat interface for use on a C-TEC EVAC-ALERT system.

Description

A loop-powered 4–8 way flat interface for use on a C-TEC EVAC-ALERT system.


Features and benefits:

  • Supplied as a four circuit unit extendable to eight using a CA737PCB.
  • Provides four or eight monitored 12.5 mA sounder circuits to power up to two self-testing evacuation alert sounders per flat.
  • Includes space and connections for an optional fully monitored auxiliary 24 V 1 A CA737PSU to power additional visual indicators and/ or vibrating pillow pads.
  • Includes an onboard short circuit loop isolator.
  • Uses one loop address per four sounder circuits.
  • Sounder circuit test facility per circuit.
  • Practical and flexible device interfacing method for most new and refurb installations, the unit is particularly suitable to be mounted in a riser on each floor.
  • Maintains the independent open and short circuit monitoring of all sounder circuits.
  • Reliable hard-wired technology (for C-TEC’s position on wireless devices click here).
