Kentec Sigma XT+ 8 Zone, 3 Area Extinguishing Control Panel (K21083M4)

The Kentec Sigma XT+ K21083M4 is a multi-area extinguishant control panel with 8 conventional fire detection zones and 3 extinguishant areas. It combines Sigma CP conventional fire detection with Sigma XT+ extinguishing control modules, giving one integrated control solution for fixed extinguishing systems.

The detection section talks to the extinguishant control modules over a secure, two-way serial link. Each extinguishant area has its own full set of inputs and outputs and is set up through a simple programming interface.

Key features

• Approved to EN 12094-1, EN 54-2 and EN 54-4
• Dual extinguishant outputs for each area, configurable as main/reserve
• First and second stage sounder outputs for each area
• First and second stage volt-free changeover contacts for each area, plus released and fault volt-free contacts per area
• Programmable extinguishant delay and output duration
• Countdown indicator showing the time until release in seconds
• Mode select and manual release controls per area
• Monitored inputs for remote manual release, hold, mode select (door interlock), released pressure switch, low pressure switch and abort
• Serial connection for up to 7 Sigma Si status units or ancillary boards per extinguishant area
• Up to 7 Sigma CP ancillary boards (K580) or Sigma CP sounder boards (K461) can be added on the RS485 serial bus
