Networkable Analogue Addressable Fire Alarm Panel XFP
NETWORKABLE ANALOGUE ADDRESSABLE FIRE ALARM PANEL XFP
Context Plus’s XFP range of networkable analogue addressable fire panels offer high performance at a competitive price.
Certified to the latest versions of EN54 parts 2 & 4 by the Loss Prevention Certification Board, two versions are available – a cost-effective single loop 16 zone panel in a plastic enclosure and a robust 1 or 2 loop 32 zone metal panel.
Ideal for use in office blocks, shopping complexes and big industrial sites as well as smaller stand-alone applications, both versions offer an array of user and installer-friendly features, including:-
- Full compatibility with Apollo’s XP95/Discovery and Hochiki’s ESP protocols
- The ability to interconnect up to eight XFP main panels (any variant) onto a two wire RS485 network. Alternatively, up to eight XFP repeaters can be connected to a non-networked XFP main panel
- Combined keypad / keyswitch entry to Access Levels 2 & 3
- Two independently programmable conventional sounder circuits
- Two programmable inputs
- A fault output relay and three programmable relay outputs with voltage free changeover contacts
- Three zone dependency functions (A, B & C to EN54-2 Clause 7.12) A day/night (building occupied/unoccupied) function
- An investigation delay period function
- Individual sensitivity settings for each device
- A phased evacuation and delays to outputs facility (to EN54-2 Clause 7.11)
- An alarm counter that records the number of times the panel has been in an alarm state (to EN54-2 Clause 7.13)
- Powerful short circuit protected loop drivers, capable of supporting up to 40 loop
- powered 10mA sounders per loop
- An integral EN54-4/A2 switch mode PSU rated @ 185-260V a.c. 50/60Hz (1.4A on a 16 zone panel, 3A on a 32 zone panel)
- Earth fault monitoring
- An easy to read, 80 character back-lit display
- 40 characters of custom text per device
- 999 event monitoring
- Comprehensive test facilities (to EN54-2 Clause 10) and a wide range of maintenance & commissioning functions including auto-learn loops, monitor a point, test outputs, one man walk test and loop continuity test
- An intuitive Windows based upload-download PC program that allows the system to be programmed quickly and easily
- Full compatibility with Context Plus’ Hush Button fire alarm solution for houses of multiple occupation
- Optional flush-mounting stainless steel enclosures available (for 32 zone XFP panels only)
