August 8, 2007 — C-Tec has launched a three-zone automatic extinguisher panel for areas housing expensive, dangerous or irreplaceable items such as computer servers, chemicals or antiques.
With three programmable detection circuits and three programmable sounder circuits, the panel has been extensively tested in a quality-controlled environment and is currently operating in a number of trial sites, says the company. A 128 x 64 pixel graphic display with two-color backlight provides a user interface for presentation of information and interrogation of data held by the EP203. The panel also possesses adjustable extinguishant release, delay and flood times and an array of programmable relay outputs with volt free changeover contacts, a time stamped log and a facility to delay the alarm sounders.
An alarm counter also records the number of times the panel has been in an alarm state.
Up to eight remote status units with their own graphic displays and manual release functions can be connected to the panel via a simple two-wire RS485 bus to indicate the status of the system in buildings with multiple entrances. Low-cost single-gang economy status units are also available as are abort and hold buttons. An optional relay expansion unit, fitted in the main panel housing, can also be purchased for system expansion.
