Kentec FAQs

What is the difference between Kentec Sigma CP and Syncro?

Sigma CP panels are conventional, with detection split into 2 to 8 zones. Syncro AS panels are analogue addressable, so each device on the loop is identified individually.

Which detector protocols do Kentec Syncro panels support?

We stock Syncro AS and Syncro AS Lite in Apollo, Hochiki and Argus Vega versions, and Syncro XT+ in Apollo and Hochiki versions. Order the version that matches your devices.

What is a Kentec Sigma XT panel used for?

Sigma XT panels control automatic extinguishing systems. They detect fire in a protected area, then manage the warning, hold-off and release of the extinguishant, with status units outside the protected area.

What is the difference between Syncro AS and Syncro AS Lite?

Syncro AS Lite is a single loop panel. The standard Syncro AS comes in 1 and 2 loop versions for sites that need more devices.
