CFP 8 Zone Repeater Panel

The C-TEC CFP 8 Zone Repeater Panel (Part No. CFP760) is a reliable remote control and indication panel designed to replicate the functions of a C-TEC CFP Standard or CFP AlarmSense 2–8 Zone Conventional Fire Alarm Panel. Installed at remote locations throughout a building, it allows authorised users and emergency responders to monitor the status of the fire alarm system and perform key control functions without returning to the main control panel. It is an ideal solution for large buildings with multiple entrances, reception areas, security rooms, or fire service access points.

Designed to enhance system accessibility, the CFP760 duplicates all the essential indicators and controls of the master panel, providing users with access to Access Level 1 (AL1) and Access Level 2 (AL2) functions. This allows authorised personnel to acknowledge alarms, silence sounders, reset the system, and monitor fire and fault conditions from convenient remote locations, improving response times during emergencies.

The repeater panel is fully compatible with C-TEC CFP Standard and CFP AlarmSense 2–8 Zone fire alarm panels. It communicates with the master panel using CFP761 Network Driver Cards over a screened two-wire fire-resistant cable, ensuring dependable data transmission between panels. Each repeater is supplied with one CFP761 driver card, while an additional CFP761 card is required for installation in the master panel. The total communication cable length can extend up to 1 kilometre, making the system suitable for large sites and multi-building complexes.

One of the key advantages of the CFP760 is its ability to support up to eight repeater panels on a single master CFP system. This enables comprehensive remote monitoring across large facilities, allowing building managers, security personnel, and fire service teams to access system information from multiple strategic locations throughout the premises.

Unlike passive display units, the CFP760 includes its own integrated mains power supply and requires its own standby battery backup, ensuring continuous operation even during mains power failures. The panel operates from a 230V AC, 50/60Hz mains supply and supports two 12V VRLA batteries connected in series, providing either 24-hour or 72-hour standby, depending on battery capacity and system requirements.

The front panel features a clear and intuitive interface with LED indicators displaying:

• Fire alarm status
• Zone alarm conditions
• System faults
• Power status
• Sounder status
• General system information

These indicators allow users to quickly determine the condition of the fire alarm system and respond appropriately during both routine operation and emergency situations.

Designed with installers in mind, the CFP760 is housed in an attractive flush or surface-mountable enclosure manufactured from durable, high-quality plastic. The enclosure requires no additional bezel, simplifying installation while maintaining a clean and professional appearance suitable for offices, schools, hotels, hospitals, retail premises, and public buildings.

With an IP30 ingress protection rating, the repeater panel is intended for indoor installations where reliable environmental protection and long-term durability are required. Measuring approximately 380 mm (W) × 235 mm (H) × 96 mm (D) and weighing approximately 1.75 kg (excluding batteries), it provides ample space for wiring while remaining compact enough for installation in corridors, reception areas, security rooms, and building entrances.

The CFP760 is particularly well suited for installations where the master fire alarm panel is located away from the main entrance or where multiple access points require fire alarm monitoring. Typical applications include:

• Office buildings
• Schools and universities
• Hospitals and healthcare facilities
• Hotels and hospitality venues
• Shopping centres
• Warehouses and industrial facilities
• Apartment complexes
• Government buildings
• Public buildings
• Manufacturing plants

By providing full remote indication and control, the repeater panel helps improve emergency response times, simplifies system management, and enhances the overall effectiveness of the fire alarm installation.

Whether used in a commercial office, educational campus, healthcare facility, industrial site, or multi-storey residential building, the C-TEC CFP 8 Zone Repeater Panel (CFP760) delivers dependable remote monitoring and control for conventional fire alarm systems. Its support for up to eight repeaters, dedicated power supply, long-distance communication, and user-friendly interface make it an ideal addition to professional fire detection installations.
