C-TEC Loop Powered Hush Button (Hochiki ESP Protocol) (XFP508H)
C-TEC's Hush Button was specifically designed to reduce the incidence of false alarms in houses of multiple occupation by providing reliable, fully monitored fire detection, alarm and silencing facilities INSIDE each individual flat or apartment.
It can be looked upon as a miniature loop-powered single zone fire alarm controller that sits and is addressed on a Hochiki ESP analogue loop (see schematic above) with the ability to communicate its status back to the host panel.
Typically one Hush Button is fitted in each dwelling complete with conventional detectors and conventional sounders to provide occupants with a simple means of invoking two types of ‘hushed’ period - see Hush Button Operation section below.
By providing occupants with this level of control over their fire alarm systems, it helps reduce false alarms and prevent unnecessary building evacuations, system vandalism and the likelihood of a true alarm signal being ignored.

| Protocol/compatibility | Compatible with C-TEC's XFP/ZFP XP95/Discovery Addressable Fire Panels. To communicate with the host fire panel, the XFP508X requires 2 addresses, one so it can be recognised as a Zone Monitor, another as a Sounder Control Unit. |
| Power requirements | 22-40V DC (derived from the host panel's Hochiki ESP addressable loop). |
| Quiescent current | 5mA. |
| No. of detector zone circuits | 1. |
| Max. detector circuit length | 100m. |
| Call point resistor value | Manual call points must be fitted with a 330Ω resistor in order to immediately trigger the host panel on operation. Note one 330Ω resistor is supplied in the Hush Button's accessory pack. |
| Max. devices per detector zone | 10 (any mix of detectors and manual call points). |
| No. of conventional sounder circuits | 1. |
| Max. sounder circuit length | 100m. |
| EOL resistor value | 6800Ω 5% Tol. 0/25W (blue, grey, red, gold). |
| Alarm current | 30mA, 20mA or 12.5mA (selectable via PLK2 output selector link). |
| Max. sounder output current | 30mA. |
| Indicators | ‘Supply present’ LED; ‘Local alarm’ LED; ‘Hushed’ LED (Lit steady when in the Hushed state, flashes during the last 15 seconds of any Hushed period); 'Fault' LED. Also includes a beeper that sounds during the last 15 seconds of any Hushed period. |
| Product dimensions (mm) | 146 W x 85 H x 21 D mm (Can be mounted on a standard UK 25mm double gang flush or surface back box). |
| Construction & finish | Supplied on a double gang plastic plate. |
| IP Rating | IP40. |
| Weight | 120g. |
| Operating conditions/temperature | -5ºC to +40ºC. Max relative humidity: 95%. |
