key features C-Tec addressable sounder/strobe

n

n
• Addressable technology: Each device has a unique address, allowing the central fire alarm panel to pinpoint the exact location of the alarm and control the device individually.

n

• Combined alerts: They provide both audible (sound) and visual (strobe) alerts to ensure everyone is notified.

n

• Programmable functions: Users can select from multiple tones and up to seven different volume levels to suit the environment.

n

• Synchronized operation: The flashing of multiple devices is synchronized to prevent confusion and ensure a clear, distinct alarm signal.

n

• Low power consumption: The devices are designed for low current draw, making them efficient for use on a fire alarm loop.

n

• Integrated isolator: Most models include a short-circuit loop isolator as a standard feature to prevent a fault in one device from affecting the entire loop.

n

• Third-party certified: Many C-Tec addressable sounder/strobes are certified to European standards, such as EN 54-3 (sounders), EN 54-23 (VADs), and EN 54-17 (isolators).

n

• Voice and tone options: Some models, like the CX voice sounder, can broadcast voice messages in addition to tones.
