Overview Features Technical Data FAQs Downloads & Resources

The C-TEC 2 Zone AlarmSense Bi-Wire Fire Alarm Kit provides a straightforward solution for starting a conventional fire alarm installation.

Kit Contains

1 × C-TEC CFP 2 Zone AlarmSense Bi-Wire Fire Alarm Panel
3 × Apollo 55000-392APO AlarmSense Optical Smoke Detector with Sounder Base
1 × Apollo 55000-196APO AlarmSense A1R Heat Detector with Sounder Base
2 × Apollo 55400-894APO AlarmSense Manual Call Points
2 × 12V 2.1Ah Backup Batteries

Built around the C-TEC AlarmSense control panel and Apollo AlarmSense field devices, the system allows both detectors and sounders to be installed on the same two-core circuit. This bi-wire technology simplifies wiring, reduces installation time and helps keep installation costs down.

The kit includes smoke detection, heat detection, manual call points and standby batteries, providing installers with the core components needed to establish dependable fire detection and alarm signalling.

With two detection zones, the system is suitable for smaller premises where a reliable and easy-to-install fire alarm system is required.

Complete 2 zone conventional fire alarm kit
AlarmSense bi-wire technology allows detectors and sounders on the same circuit
Reduced cabling requirements for faster installation
C-TEC CFP control panel certified to EN54-2 and EN54-4
Optical smoke detection with integrated sounder base
A1R heat detection with integrated sounder base
Manual call points for manual alarm activation
Supplied with standby batteries for backup power
Suitable for small commercial and residential installations

C-TEC CFP 2 Zone AlarmSense Bi-Wire Fire Alarm Panel Technical Detail

Mains rated current	350mA maximum.
Internal power supply	19V-28.5V (27V nominal). Ripple 7V maximum (battery fault).
Total output current limited to	1.5A @ 230Vac (ImaxA eq 146mA).
Quiescent current	25mA (mains failed, internal sounder active, PSU & gen fault LED lit)
Max battery size and type	2 x 12V 3.2Ah VRLA connected in series. Min. battery size 1.2Ah.
No. of detector zone circuits	The CFP702-2 has 2 AlarmSense zone circuits which are compatible with Apollo's AlarmSense range of detectors & call points AND sounders & visual indicators. (Max. length per circuit is 500m).
Call point resistor value	Only use AlarmSense call points.
Max. devices per detector zone	25 AlarmSense detectors/manual call points per AlarmSense zone. For AlarmSense sounder limitations per AlarmSense zone see 'Max. sounder output current' section.
No. of conventional sounder circuits	4 – these are additional conventional (non-AlarmSense) sounder circuits; Max. length per circuit is 500m.

Open collector outputs	Two: (1) Reset (Active during reset cycle); (2) Remote (Active during any unsilenced fire condition provided all relevant delays have expired). Max. sink current 30mA, Max. open circuit volt
Other outputs	24V Aux. Power (Protected by a resettable fuse. 100mA min. hold current. Resets when fault removed).
Auxiliary inputs	Two: (1) ‘Class Change’ (constant sounders); (2) Alert (pulsed sounders). Connect to 0V to trigger, Max. input voltage 27V (non-latching)
Engineer (AL3) functions	Program coincidence (double knock); Invoke One Man Walk Test; Program delays; Set up zones for non-latching operation; Program sounders to resound (or not resound)
Expansion connections	Yes – for optional network driver cards (one required per repeater system), relay output cards and EN54-13 sounder circuit interface boards.
Product dimensions (mm)	380 W x 235 H x D 96mm (hole required for flush mounting = 367 W x 220 H x 75 D mm. No bezel required).
Construction & finish	Plastic lid and base; RAL7035 textured

Weight	1.75kg (without batteries)

What is included in this fire alarm kit?

The kit contains:

1 x C-TEC CFP702-2 Two Zone AlarmSense Panel
3 x Apollo AlarmSense Optical Smoke Detectors with Sounder Bases
1 x Apollo AlarmSense A1R Heat Detector with Sounder Base
1 x Apollo AlarmSense Manual Call Point
2 x 12V 2.1Ah Backup Batteries

Is this kit suitable for commercial use?

Yes, it’s ideal for both commercial and residential premises, including HMOs, small offices, shops, and shared housing.

What is AlarmSense technology?

AlarmSense is a protocol by Apollo that allows the connection of multiple device types (e.g. detectors, sounders, call points) on the same zone wiring, with the ability to distinguish between them.

Does the panel include battery backup?

Yes, the kit comes with 2 x 12V 2.1Ah backup batteries to maintain operation during a mains power failure.

Can I mix AlarmSense and non-AlarmSense devices?

No, this system requires AlarmSense-compatible devices throughout each zone to function correctly.
