FIRE SAFETY<br />
KENTEC LAUNCHES<br />
NEXT-GENERATION<br />
FIRE PANEL<br />
entec, the leading<br />
Kmanufacturer of lifecritical<br />
control<br />
systems, has launched<br />
the next generation of<br />
Taktis analogue<br />
addressable fire panel<br />
with an increased number<br />
of loops and enhanced<br />
integration and<br />
networking capabilities to<br />
meet the current and<br />
future needs of larger<br />
buildings and<br />
installations.<br />
The Taktis 16L extends<br />
the current Taktis fire<br />
panel to 16 detection<br />
loops to provide up to 144<br />
zone indications. It<br />
supports more than 2,000 detection devices and can network up<br />
to 128 panels, making it ideal for the largest sites such as<br />
schools, hospitals, multi-site retail/supermarkets, critical<br />
infrastructure and major commercial and industrial facilities.<br />
Multiple protocols can be supported on each panel to give<br />
installers and end-users maximum choice in their systems’<br />
design, and the scalable nature of the product provides the<br />
highest level of future-proofing and networking possibilities.<br />
Kevin Swann, Managing Diector of Kentec, says that the new<br />
generation panel is already being well received: “As a truly Open<br />
Protocol panel it offers installers and their customers maximum<br />
flexibility in systems’ design, site-customisation and in the thirdparty<br />
devices that they use.<br />
“It also protects both their legacy and future investment since<br />
the panel is future proofed with a highly impressive road map of<br />
additional functions, features and integration possibilities.”<br />
EN-54-2/EN-54-4 certified, Taktis is designed with pan-<br />
European/international customers in mind and is currently<br />
available in numerous languages.<br />
