Description
The C-TEC CA416 is a high-performance addressable optical smoke detector engineered for the advanced CAST protocol ecosystem. By combining infrared light-scatter technology with “distributed intelligence,” it offers rapid detection of smoldering fires while maintaining high stability against false alarms through internal smart algorithms and drift compensation. Equipped with an onboard short-circuit isolator and two ultra-bright 360? LED strips, the CA416 ensures both system-wide integrity and clear local identification of an alarm state. Its robust design, wide operating temperature range, and flexible “soft” addressing options make it a premier choice for installers working with C-TEC XFP and ZFP fire alarm systems.
Features
- Advanced CAST Addressable Protocol: Operates on C-TEC’s CAST distributed-intelligence protocol, supporting up to 255 addressable devices per loop with fast response times and high-speed data transmission.
- Onboard Short-Circuit Isolator: Includes an integrated loop short-circuit isolator to safeguard loop communications and isolate wiring faults automatically.
- Smart False Alarm Reduction & Drift Compensation: Utilizes light-scatter optical chamber algorithms with automatic drift compensation to maintain stable sensitivity over time despite dust buildup.
- Dual Soft Addressing Modes: Supports quick system commissioning with soft addressing either automatically through the control panel or via a handheld programmer.
- 360-Degree Red LED Status: Features twin ultra-bright red LED indicator strips for clear visual alarm status from any angle.
- Easy Click-and-Twist Installation: Connects seamlessly to the CA408 CAST detector base featuring an integrated locking pin mechanism to prevent unauthorized removal.
