C-TEC XFP 16-Zone Addressable Repeater Manual

The XFP 16-Zone Repeater Manual covers installation and commissioning of the C-TEC XFP repeater panel — a remote indication and control terminal that mirrors the main XFP panel display at additional locations such as building entrances, security desks or fire fighter rendezvous points.

What the manual covers

• Repeater cabinet mounting and wiring
• Network bus connection to the XFP main panel
• Repeater addressing on the network
• Display configuration and zone label synchronisation
• Authorised silence and reset operations from the repeater
• Power supply and battery requirements
• Fault monitoring of the repeater itself and the network bus

Who should use this manual

This manual is for fire alarm engineers installing or commissioning XFP repeaters as part of a larger XFP installation. It complements the main XFP engineering manuals for the panel platform.

When to use repeaters

Repeaters are typically required at the building’s main entrance for fire and rescue services, at security desks where 24-hour staff need fire status visibility, and at remote points within large or distributed sites where running back to the main panel is impractical for an operator.
