C-TEC CFP702-2 Alarmsense 2 Zone Two-Wire Fire Alarm Panel Small Premises

A 2-zone panel is the minimum appropriate specification for fire alarm systems where detection zoning is required by the design: BS 5839 Part 1 requires that fire alarm zones allow the fire location to be identified to a reasonably small area of the building.

For small single-storey commercial buildings where the entire building can reasonably constitute two zones (for example, the shop floor and the rear store or office), the CFP702-2 provides the appropriate zone count without the extra cost of a 4-zone or 8-zone panel that would have unused zones.

The two-wire Alarmsense architecture is consistent with the larger CFP708-2: the same single two-core cable per zone carries both power and signal, and the same range of Apollo Alarmsense-compatible detectors, call points, and sounders connect to both panels. The choice between 2-zone, 4-zone, and 8-zone panels is purely the zone count required by the building and its fire risk assessment.

For very small premises where even a 2-zone conventional system is more than required, the regulations and the application of BS 5839 Part 6 (domestic) versus Part 1 (commercial) should be reviewed with a qualified fire alarm engineer.

For fire alarm installers specifying small-scale Alarmsense panels for shops, small offices, and small commercial premises across London and the UK, the CFP702-2 provides the cost-effective 2-zone Alarmsense panel.

Key Features
