C-Tec XFP508X Hush Button Apollo XP95 Discovery Protocol
C-Tec XFP508X Hush Button Apollo XP95 Discovery ProtocolThe XFP508X Hush Button has been specifically designed to reduce the incidence of false alarms in houses of multiple occupation by providing reliable fully monitored fire detection alarm and silencing facilities inside each individual flat or apartment.It can be looked upon as a miniature loop-powered single zone fire alarm controller that sits and is addressed on an XP95 Discovery or Xplorer analogue loop with the ability to communicate its status back to the host panel. Typically one Hush Button is fitted in each dwelling complete with conventional detectors and conventional sounders to provide occupants with a simple means of invoking two types of hushed period.By providing occupants with this level of control over their fire alarm systems it helps reduce false alarms and prevent unnecessary building evacuations system vandalism and the likelihood of a true alarm signal being ignored.Key FeaturesUpgrades the level of protection offered in a flat or apartment from the Grade D minimum mainsbattery smoke alarms to Grade A or BProvides each individual dwelling with a 2-minute silence facility and 15 minute isolate facility to BS 5839 pt 6 clause 12.2Can be operated by building occupants whilst standing at floor levelIncludes a built-in loop isolator conventional sounder circuit conventional detector circuit and three status LEDsFully monitored for open and short circuit faults logging facilities at the host panel give full traceability of any problemsFailsafe operation - a general fire condition at the host panel will override any silencedisolated state at the hush button and immediately turn on its local soundersOperation of a manual call point fitted with a resistor of less than 400 ohm will immediately trigger the host panel a 330 Ohm resistor is suppliedCommon OV line allows sounders and detectors to be wired in three core cable
