KEY FEATURES
The CAST XFP 1 loop 16 zone analogue addressable fire alarm panel (Part No. XFP501E/CA) is
designed for use with fire and security systems and offers the following features:
• Certification by the LPCB to EN54 parts 2 and 4.
• Full compatibility with C-TEC’s CAST
®
(C-TEC Addressable System Technology) - a powerful,
proprietary communication p
rotocol.
• Short-circuit protected loop driver (rated at 500mA, 40V), capable of supporting up to 255
addressable CAST devices. Each CAST loop device is fitted with a short-circuit isolator.
• Two CAST device addressing options - automatically by the panel (AUTO ADDRESS & LOOP LEARN
functions), or manually using the CAST Handheld Programmer (Part No. CAPROG).
• Ability to change a device’s address.
• Ability to detect and fix duplicate addresses.
• Ability to detect swapped loop devices.
• Ability to turn all device polling LEDS on/off.
•
Fast response time from fire detection to multiple output groups.
• Two independently programmable conventional sounder circuits.
• Two programmable auxiliary inputs.
• A fault relay output and three programmable relay outputs with volt-free changeover contacts.
• A selection of zone dependency functions (EN54-2 Clause 7.12, type A, B or C) as detailed below:
Type A - If there is an alarm from a detector, the panel will look for a confirmatory alarm from
the same, or another, detector in the same zone before a full alarm is established. If there is no
confirmatory alarm, the first alarm will automatically reset.
Type B - As type A except the confirmatory signal must be from another detector in the same zone.
Type C - As type A except the confirmatory signal may also be from another zone and the first
alarm will not automatically reset.
• A day (building occupied) and night (building unoccupied) time function.
• An investigation delay period function (programmable for length of time, which zones it applies
to and whether or not it operates in day/night mode).
• Individual sensitivity settings for each device.
• EN54-2 Clause 7.8 re-sounding fire alarm devices.
• EN54-2 Clause 7.11 delays to outputs and a phased evacuation facility.
• EN54-2 Clause 7.13 alarm counter to record the number of alarm states (maximum of 999 counts).
• EN54-2 Clause 8.3 reporting of faults from heat detectors, optical detectors & multi-detectors.
• EN54-2 Clause 9.5 disablements of addressable points individually.
• An integral 1.5A EN54-4 switched mode PSU.
• Earth fault monitoring.
• Keypad code to enter levels 2 & 3. Keyswitch entry to access level 2.
• 40 characters of custom text per device.
• Comprehensive EN54-2 Clause 10 test, with maintenance and commissioning functions.
• Windows based PC programming tools (Part No. XFP507) that MUST be used to configure the system.

CAST XFP 16 ZONE ANALOGUE ADDRESSABLE FIRE ALARM PANEL
Networking (Optional)
If required, the panel can be configured to sit on a non-redundant network of up to eight connected
CAST XFP main panels (any variant), OR you can have up to eight XFP repeaters connected to one non-
networked CAST XFP main panel. If you want to utilise either of these options, the panel will require a
separately available network driver card (Part No. XFP761). See page 12 for details.
Note: The CAST XFP network and XFP repeaters
have not been assessed to EN54-2.
