C-TEC CA416 CAST Optical Smoke Detector

The C-TEC CA416 CAST Optical Smoke Detector is a precision-engineered addressable detector designed to deliver fast and reliable smoke detection in modern fire alarm systems.

Fully compatible with C-TEC’s CAST protocol and control panels such as ZFP and XFP, it offers intelligent performance in a compact and robust housing.

Using advanced light-scatter optical technology, the CA416 is ideal for detecting slow-burning, smouldering fires, often found in offices, corridors, and public buildings.

It features a built-in short-circuit isolator, dual ultra-bright 360° red LEDs, and a wide operating voltage range of 22–40V DC. The detector is easy to install and commission via the CA408 CAST Base, with integrated support for CAST ID tags and remote LED output.

Certified to EN54-7, EN54-13, and manufactured in the UK, the CA416 is built to deliver dependable life safety protection with long-term stability and minimal false alarms.
