C-TEC are thrilled to announce that CAST-PRO, our integrated ‘all in one’ fire detection and alarm device has been named Fire Innovation of the Year at the FSM Awards.
Fully compatible with our ZFP and XFP CAST addressable fire panels, CAST-PRO is a UK-manufactured EN 54-certified heat, smoke and CO fire detector with a tone or voice sounder and onboard visual alarm device. Packed full of features, many of them patented, CAST-PRO doesn’t just reduce installation costs, it reduces false alarms effectively, detects real fires reliably and indicates true alarm conditions decisively.
At the heart of the CAST-PRO design is the MASC™ miniature advanced smoke detection chamber. Featuring computer designed airflow layers and a revolutionary non-focal non-linear prismatic angular bandpass filter (pictured), it was specifically designed to allow space for reliable Heat and CO detection, a 92 dB(A) tone or 86 dB(A) voice sounder and a C-3-9.4 visual alarm device – all in the same attractive, compact device.
The Judges’ Statement read: “CAST-PRO is a remarkable step forward in intelligent fire detection and alarm technology both in conception and design. The device’s algorithms are specifically engineered to reduce false alarms and provide the highest levels of fire detection in real-life situations. A fantastically innovative product.” Andrew Foster, C-TEC’s MD said: “As an independent engineering-led manufacturer, we have the drive and freedom to be exceptionally innovative. We pride ourselves on always being ahead of the curve, continually creating open-protocol life-safety products that break the mould – the latest of which is CAST-PRO, a device designed to significantly decrease installation time, increase cost-savings and provide the highest levels of fire protection.”
