FIRE SAFETY
Kentec to showcase
fire systems in Dubai
Kentec is exhibiting the Taktis UL fire panel and
more at Intersec 2019 in January
he Taktis UL 16L extends the
Tcurrent Taktis UL fire panel to
provide up to 144 zone
indications. It supports more than
2,000 detection devices and can
network up to 128 panels, making it
ideal for the largest sites such as
Data Centres, schools, hospitals,
multi-site retail/supermarkets,
critical infrastructure and major
commercial and industrial facilities.
The panel has been approved by UL
to UL-864 10th Edition.
Exhibited for the first time is the Fire-Cryer Plus voice sounder
and visual indicator. An accessory to the Sigma XT, Sigma XT+
and Syncro XT+ extinguishing control panels, it provides clear
and concise messaging to building occupants as an alternative to
electronic sounder/bells and strobes. System-specific messages
are provided including 1st stage alarm, 2nd stage alarm, gas
release imminent and gas release confirmation as well as hold
button activation.
Also on Kentec’s stand at Intersec is the Ockular software
solution, providing building managers with complete control over
fire detection and monitoring. This software enables the creation
of a 2D site map of any site or building to monitor fire safety and
detection, and automatically switches to an area where a fire
device has been activated in order to allow the immediate
viewing and investigation of an event.
Visitors will also see how Vizulinx, a sophisticated yet easy-touse
fire alarm management solution, enables building managers
and service providers to monitor fire systems remotely while also
being able to integrate with other equipment such as BMS. It
passes fire system events via e-mail and in SMS message format
using a standard IP connection. Integration with other systems is
achievable via Modbus or BacNET protocols.
Kevin Swann, managing director of Kentec, stated: “With the
Taktis UL 16L, our panels have the capability to protect the very
largest sites and infrastructures, and already enjoy an enviable
global reputation. Fire-Cryer, Vizulinx and Ockular demonstrate
that the customer is at the centre of everything we do. It’s our job
to ensure that fire safety is made as efficient, practical and
effective as possible for our customers.”
Kentec’s robust and easy-to-install Sigma A-XT, Sigma XT and
Syncro XT+ ranges will be on display at the show, demonstrating
the company’s long-established fire extinguishing capabilities.
