The Kentec K588 is the stand-alone (unboxed) Sigma XT Ancillary PCB, for fitting inside a suitable enclosure. The Sigma XT Ancillary Board is compatible with Sigma XT control panels running operating software version SIGXT_11A.HEX or above, and Kentec lists it (K588) as the ancillary relay board for Syncro XT+ panels. It provides volt-free, normally open contacts so that sub-systems and plant can be controlled remotely from the main panel over a two-wire data bus.
Key features
- Two-wire RS485 serial connection to the control panel
- Up to 7 ancillary boards per control panel, each addressed 1 to 7 on a binary-coded DIL switch
- Status units and ancillary boards can be mixed on the same serial data bus (up to 7 of each type)
- Volt-free relay outputs for fire and extinguishing system status
- Relay-operated LED indicators
- Total data cable length from the main panel to the last unit must not exceed 1200 metres
