C-TEC XFP 1 or 2-Loop 32-Zone Addressable Engineering Manual

The XFP 1 or 2-Loop 32-Zone Engineering Manual is the commissioning reference for the larger XFP variant supporting up to two addressable loops and 32 zones per panel. This is the larger of the two main XFP platform variants and suits mid-sized commercial and institutional sites.

What the manual covers

• Single-loop and dual-loop configurations
• Loop auto-learn for both loops
• Manual loop addressing for Apollo XP95 and Discovery devices
• Zone configuration up to 32 zones
• Cause-and-effect programming with logic gates and time delays
• Sounder circuit configuration including loop-powered sounders
• Repeater integration and panel networking
• Fault diagnostics for loop, sounder, network and power faults
• Walk test procedures and commissioning sign-off
• Battery sizing for 24h standby + 30 min alarm

Who should use this manual

This manual is for fire alarm commissioning engineers working on XFP 32-zone installations. It assumes addressable fire alarm system competence.

1-loop or 2-loop XFP?

The 32-zone variant ships ready for single-loop operation and can be field-upgraded to dual-loop with the addition of a second loop driver card. Many sites are commissioned single-loop with the second loop reserved for future expansion.
