C-Tec CA731 CA Mains Switching Input Output Module

C-Tec CA731 CA Mains Switching Input Output Module  

The C-Tec CA731 is a mains switching input output interface module using the C-Tec CAST analogue addressable protocol.

‘CAST’ is the world’s most-advanced ‘distributed intelligence’ fire alarm system protocol. Conceived, designed and realised by C-TEC as part of a five-year, multi-million pound project, it involved the creation of a powerful proprietary communication protocol (C-TEC Addressable System Technology, CAST) and multiple control panels & field devices.
