The CAST XFP is a networkable analogue addressable fire alarm control panel designed for comprehensive fire detection and alarm management. It is available in several configurations:
The primary function of the CAST XFP panel is to provide early warning of fire, facilitate evacuation, and enable timely action to mitigate fire spread. It achieves this by working with a range of CAST-compatible fire detection devices, offering detailed information about fire conditions beyond just the activated zone number. The panel provides prioritized feedback on system status through an easy-to-read 80-character display, indicating the name and location of activated detectors and the order in which they triggered an alarm. It also displays detailed information on fault conditions and can be programmed to reduce false alarms and encourage orderly evacuation during a true fire event.
The panel offers three access levels:
The panel features various LED indicators and buttons for operation:
