AlarmSense, Kentec’s new two-wire fire alarm system, takes less time to set up than a standard four-wire system, the company has said.

Kentec's two-wire fire alarm panel

In a press release about its new product, Kentec said the benefit of its two-wire panels was that “all devices in a given zone can be wired to the same pair of cables”.

The AlarmSense Sigma CP-A 2, 4 and 8 zone fire alarm control and indicating panels are also compliant with European standards, according to Kentec. 

A spokesman for the company said: “Apollo Alarmsense devices, including smoke and heat detectors, call points, base sounders, base sounder, beacons and relay units, can all be wired to the same pair of cables, with rapid system configuration for common, zonal or two-stage alarm using simple menu options on the panel.

“False alarm management is particularly efficient, with alarm verification via the general and local alarm facility on AlarmSense sounders and beacons, a significant feature for houses of multiple occupation.”
