The C-Tec CFP704E-4 CFP Economy 4 Zone Conventional Fire Alarm Panel is a cost-effective, fully certified fire detection solution ideal for medium-sized installations requiring additional zone capacity. LPCB certified to EN54-2 and EN54-4 standards, this panel offers comprehensive features at a competitive price point. Housed in an attractive flush or surface-mountable plastic enclosure, it provides four detector zones and four conventional sounder circuits, making it suitable for schools, small hotels, offices, and multiple-occupancy buildings. The intuitive interface features colour-coded buttons and combined keypad/keyswitch entry for secure and straightforward operation. With four open-collector outputs and class change/alert inputs, it delivers flexibility while maintaining simplicity. Note that this economy version has limited engineering functions and is not compatible with expansion boards or repeaters, making it a straightforward, no-frills solution for basic fire alarm requirements where four-zone coverage is needed.

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. What is the advantage of choosing the 4-zone model over the 2-zone version?
The 4-zone model (CFP704E-4) provides double the zone capacity, allowing coverage of larger premises or more distinct fire compartments such as separate wings in a school, multiple floors in a hotel, or different occupancy areas.

2. How many total devices can be connected across all four zones?
Each zone supports up to 25 detectors or 32 combined detectors and call points, allowing for a maximum of 100 detectors or 128 combined devices across all four zones, depending on configuration.

3. Can this panel be expanded with additional relay outputs or repeaters?
No, this Economy model has limited engineering functions and is NOT compatible with CFP repeaters, relay expansion boards, or EN54-13 interface cards. It is designed as a standalone solution.

4. Is the panel suitable for schools or small hotel applications?
Yes, with four zones and four sounder circuits, it is ideal for small to medium schools, hotels, offices, and similar premises requiring multiple detection zones and reliable fire alarm coverage.

5. What is the maximum cable length per detector zone?
Each detector zone supports a maximum cable length of 500 metres, providing flexibility for larger buildings while maintaining reliable communication with all connected devices.
