The BF451A/CX/SW Compact Addressable Wall VAD c/w 91dB(A) Sounder utilises the latest advances in sounder, LED and LED lens technology to provide a truly exceptional W-3-3.1 fire alarm warning device. Compatible with C-TEC’s ZFP & XFP range of Apollo XP95/Discovery addressable fire panels, its 550μA quiescent current and low 14mA alarm current (VAD lit, sounder on max) make it one of the most efficient EN54-3/23 compliant sounder/VADs on the market. Other features include seven selectable volume levels, 15 tone pairs, a flash rate of 0.5Hz (once every two seconds) and a group addressing function to ensure the synchronised operation of multiple devices. Attractively finished in red polycarbonate, the BF451A/CX/SR comes with an integrated sounder VAD/base locking mechanism and a plastic ID tag. The BF451A/CX/SR can also be used to provide C-3-8 coverage when mounted on a ceiling.
