Kentec has launched Taktis, which is designed as a fire detection and alarm ‘platform’ which can be reconfigured to add other control and indicating applications, with integration into intelligent buildings and remote interrogation of their systems.

The system’s remote management features offer cost savings to users, says Kentec, with a reduced need for call-outs, improved servicing regimes, more effective maintenance, reduction of unwanted alarms and improved overall service for system management.

The range includes Taktis Fire, a range of fire panels from 2 loops to 16 loops; Taktis Net, with networking up to 128 nodes achieved on the new Taktis Net network bus; Taktis I/O, a new range of I/O modules for system expansion; Taktis Vision, the a range of configurable annunciator panels for system status indication; Taktis Connect Media Gateway for data communication between any system and a dedicated server network; and Taktis Configure providing a customisable configuration tool that can be tailored to specific customers, languages and loop protocols.
