More options from Kentec

In direct response to increasing customer demand, Kentec’s Syncro 6 and 8 loop analogue-addressable panels are now available as standard items, which will mean faster delivery times compared to made-to-order products.

Available in three analogue detector protocols, Apollo, Argus Vega and Hochiki, and with 96 zone indicators as standard, these Kentec Syncro panels can be purchased either with or without in-built printers. Supplied with two ENS400, 4 amp PSUs and with network cards fitted as standard, they are available in surface mounting versions only and without an enable keyswitch.

Kentec’s pedigree for modularity means that Syncro Response, Focus and Focus+ repeaters, the modem as well as Guide and Guide Repeater, can all be seamlessly integrated to these Syncro panels, with the capability for networking to other panels in the Syncro family. The internal Syncro bus also allows the local interconnection of the ancillary Input/Output cards – relay, additional sounder and conventional zone modules, as well as the Syncro View Repeater.

The Syncro family

Syncro Response is a full function repeater panel used to complement the Syncro control panel range. Using advanced microprocessor technology to provide a system of highest integrity, Syncro Response can be configured to suit all types of system, to provide selectable event reporting and controls from each networked panel. A large area graphic display ensures that information is presented in plain language with detailed extra help available by pressing a ‘help’ button. Syncro networks support three of the most widely used, leading fire data communication protocols.

Focus and Focus+ Network LCD Control Panel Repeaters. These simple and attractive repeater panels can be connected to any point on a Syncro network to provide additional display points as needed. Using the same large format graphics display as the main control panel ensures clear and concise indication is given at all times. These units are ideal for additional building entrances, security desks or nurses’ stations, and provide an economical alternative to a Syncro Response full function repeater panel. The repeater also acts as a network booster and can be used to extend cable runs beyond the specified lengths as required.

Syncro GUIDE Graphical User Interface. Syncro fire control panels can send data to, and be controlled by, the guide system providing a single point of co-ordination for all alarms. The powerful 32 bit programme features a standard Windows look and feel and runs under Windows 2000 or XP. The system presentation is highly configurable so that the end user can be presented with maps, text, photographs, audio or a combination of all as required. User profiles allow the system manager to control the facilities available to each individual system user. A comprehensive history logging and reporting system allows analysis of events and trends to be identified to reduce unwanted alarms. Easy to programme and simple to use, Guide provides a cost effective solution for fire alarm management at many levels, with Repeater provision for extended networking.
