Kentec Fire Alarm and Extinguishing Control Panels in Azerbaijan

The control panel is the part of a fire alarm system that people actually interact with — and the part that decides what happens when a detector operates. Kentec Electronics, founded in 1985 in Dartford, UK, and now part of Japan’s Hochiki Corporation, builds fire alarm and extinguishing control panels used in buildings and industrial sites in many countries.

ZE-Tronics supplies Kentec panels in Azerbaijan and programs, installs, commissions and maintains them.

Kentec panel families

• Taktis EN — addressable panels for large and networked sites.
• Syncro AS — addressable panels for small to medium buildings, with Syncro AS Lite for smaller systems and Syncro ASM for marine use.
• Sigma CP — conventional panels for smaller buildings.
• Sigma XT, XT+, ZXT and Syncro XT+ — extinguishing control panels for rooms protected by gas suppression.

Kentec addressable panels work with Apollo and Hochiki detector protocols. That open approach lets a project choose detectors, call points and interfaces from established ranges — see our Apollo brand page for one of them.

Addressable or conventional?

A conventional panel tells you which zone is in alarm; an addressable panel tells you which device. For a small building the conventional route is simple and economical. For a larger or complex building, addressable systems cut search time, reduce cabling and give maintenance information for each detector. We cover the decision in addressable vs conventional fire alarm systems.

Extinguishing control

Rooms protected by gas suppression need a dedicated controller that manages detection coincidence, pre-discharge warnings, delay timers, hold and abort, and manual release, while telling the main fire alarm what is happening. Kentec’s extinguishing panels are built to EN 12094-1 for this purpose and are often used with Kidde suppression systems. Read more in our guide to gaseous fire suppression.
