C-TEC Kits

C-TEC kits are packaged systems and accessory kits for hearing loops, accessible toilet alarms, domestic fire alarms and other C-TEC equipment. Hearing loop kits cover lecture rooms, meeting rooms, waiting rooms and lounges, with domestic and portable loop kits too. Other kits include BS8300 accessible toilet alarm kits, a BS 5839-6 Grade C domestic fire alarm kit, a deaf persons alert kit, a PSU configurator and a programming tools kit.

Choosing C-TEC Kits

Pick the kit by the job: hearing assistance, an accessible toilet alarm, fire detection in a flat, or setting up C-TEC equipment.

Hearing loop kits by room

The AKL1, AKM3, AKR1 and AKT1 are each built around a wall-mountable PDA200E amplifier, and each is fully compliant with BS EN 60118-4 when correctly installed; loop cable is not included. What changes is the input: the AKL1 for lecture rooms adds a tie/desk microphone and a lectern microphone, the AKM3 for meeting and seminar rooms a PRO45 hanging ambient microphone, the AKR1 for waiting rooms a line level input plate for a paging system, and the AKT1 for TV and music lounges a handheld microphone.

Smaller loops, a radio microphone and a wall mount

The DL50/K is a free-standing domestic loop amplifier kit covering 50m², with an alert tone input for doorbells, fire alarms and security systems. The PL1/K3 packs an amplifier, charger and carry case with one-button operation. The AMR/HA radio microphone kit has four selectable frequencies, and the PDA/WM kit wall-mounts a PDA Pro-Range amplifier.

Accessible toilet and pull cord kits

The NC951 is a BS8300 compliant accessible toilet alarm kit with a ceiling and wall mountable pull cord unit and a Call Accept function for staff. The NC951/SS is a brushed stainless steel single zone version for hotels, leisure centres and supermarkets, and the QT951 adds BS8300 compliant toilet alarm functions to a Quantec Addressable Call System. The NCP-12 pack holds 3m of red anti-bacterial, wipe-clean cord for Quantec and 800 Series ceiling pulls.

Fire, alert and set-up kits

The HAK/1 is a conventional stand-alone Grade C domestic fire detection kit to BS 5839-6 (2019) for individual flats, with a Hush-ActiV controller and 72-hour rechargeable battery. The BF325/K1 AlertBuddy listens for a fire alarm, then flashes, sounds a low-frequency tone and activates a vibrating pillow pad. The BF423 configures C-TEC's BF560 and BF562 power supplies from a Windows PC, and the ZTOOLS kit supplies an installation CD and USB lead.

Frequently asked questions

What is a C-TEC disabled toilet alarm kit?

A C-TEC disabled toilet alarm kit is a matched set of parts for calling help from an accessible toilet. Kits typically pair a ceiling pull cord with a reset point inside the room and an overdoor light with sounder outside. Some kits add a call controller, while others expand a wider call system. Where BS 8300 compliance is needed, check the chosen kit meets it.
