C-TEC BF460A/CX/W C-3-8 Base VAD

The BF460A/CX/W Addressable Base VAD utilises the latest advances in sounder and LED technology to provide a truly exceptional twin-LED C-3-8 base-mounting fire alarm warning device. Designed for use as part of a stacked VAD/detector base combination, it is fully compatible with C-TEC’s ZFP & XFP range of Apollo XP95/Discovery addressable fire panels. Able to provide EN54-23 illumination levels at typical BS5839-1 detector spacing intervals*, it has an alarm current of just 10mA making it one of the most efficient base VADs on the market. If not used as part of a VAD/detector/base combination, optional white and red caps are available for standalone use. * Assumes ambient light is 201-300 lux and VAD viewing angle is direct.


 Features:

  • Third-party certified to EN54-23 (VADs) and 17 (Isolators) by the LPCB.
  • Provides 'C-3-8 light distribution when ceiling mounted (min 0.4 lux over a 3 x 8m cylindrical area*).
  • Two unique C-TEC designed lenses maximise light output whilst minimising current draw.
  • Onboard short-circuit loop isolator. 550uA quiescent current and 10mA alarm current @24V DC.
  • Attractively finished in white and clear polycarbonate (light output is white).
  • Group addressing facility allows multiple devices to be operated simultaneously.
  • 7 selectable volume levels and up to 15 selectable tone pairs. Attractive compact design - just 112mm diameter, 46mm deep (not including detector).
  • Optional BF330CTLIDW white or BF330CTLIDR red cap available for stand-alone use. IP21C rated.
  • Low current consumption means multiple devices can be connected to the loop. DIP switch addressed. Detector spur wires included.
  • Large cable entry hole located away from fixing points facilitates straightforward installation
