CONTEXT PLUS XFP501E 1 LOOP 16 ZONE ADDRESSABLE FIRE ALARM PANEL

Description

The XFP501E / X / CON is an addressable fire alarm control panel with one loop supporting up to 16 zones / 16 addressable devices (or more devices per zone depending on device grouping). It supports the XP95 / Discovery protocol in the “X” variant and also a CAST protocol variant (“E / CON”) depending on model. It comes in a plastic enclosure, includes a keypad with keyswitch entry, and is LPCB certified to EN54-2 / EN54-4. 

This panel is often chosen for small to medium installations where a full two-loop panel isn’t necessary. It supports networking (RS485) for expansion and offers conventional sounder circuits, programmable inputs & relays, and features such as “auto address / loop learn.”

Key Features

• Third-party certified to EN54-2/4 by the Loss Prevention Certification Board (LPCB).
• Compatibility with Context Plus addressable detectors and devices.
• Two independently programmable conventional sounder circuits.
• Two programmable inputs.
• A fault output relay and three programmable relay outputs with voltage free changeover contacts.
• A selection of zone dependency/coincidence functions.
• A day/night (building occupied/unoccupied) function.
• An investigation delay period function.
• Phased evacuation facility.
• An alarm counter that records how many times the panel has been in alarm state.
• Powerful short circuit protected loop drivers, capable of supporting up to 40 loop powered 10mA sounders per loop.
• An integral EN54-4/A2 switch mode power supply.
• Adjustable contamination levels.
• Earth fault monitoring.
• Combined keypad / keyswitch entry to Access Levels 2 and 3.
• 999 event monitoring.
• An intuitive Windows based upload-download PC program.
• Up to eight XFP main panels (any variant) can be connected onto a two-wire RS485 non-redundant network. Alternatively, up to eight XFP repeaters can be connected to any non-networked main panel.

Industrial Uses / Applications

• Small to medium commercial buildings (offices, shops)

• Schools, clinics, small hospitals

• Single building installations with moderate fire detection needs

• Retail premises, warehouses with limited zones

• Projects where future expansion (networking) might be needed
