Gent by Honeywell has launched a range of interfaces providing single or four channel input and output facilities for its Vigilon control panel.
Vigilon interfaces are used to link the fire alarm system to other plant management devices, such as sprinklers and security systems. They can also be used to link to a zone of conventional detectors or other non-Gent manufactured devices. These interfaces can be either powered from the loop, or require a separate mains supply. The mains power versions have their own battery backup, while loop powered devices use the system’s own backup facilities. All of the devices can be mounted in ABS plastic enclosures, or can be din rail mounted to form multiway interface units.
As well as providing the user with clear comprehensive information in the event of a fire, Vigilon additionally provides an entire historic log of the system’s management information. Should a system fault occur, a detailed explanation is shown and the user can navigate through the faults history whenever required.
