The Kidde Commercial fire 2X-A and 2X-AT panels range, combined with the new Kidde Commercial EXCELLENCE SERIES of addressable devices, provides solutions primarily for small and medium-sized applications.
2X-A, 2X-AT Panels
The 2X-A Fire Panel is an addressable EN54 compliant panel which is expandable up to 4 loops and networkable with up to 64 panels. It is available in multiple languages and keypad variants (including fire routing and fire protection controls, also known as Fire Brigade panel) to meet different country local requirements within Europe.
The 2X-A and 2X-AT panels have been carefully designed to be intuitive and easy-to-use, reducing time required to install, configure, commission and maintain the system. This helps to reduce cost of ownership throughout the entire life of the system. This experience is even more user-friendly in the 2X-AT panel thank to the addition of a 7” touchscreen to make the user interface easier to navigate and program, aswell as incorporating a brand new Maps functionality that allows the display of the exact locations of events in 3x levels of maps/floorplans (i.e. Building >> floor >> room). helps to reduce cost of ownership throughout the entire life of the system.
The 2X-A/2X-AT panels, offer seamless integration to building management systems, PAVA, extinguishing systems and central monitoring stations via multiple connectivity options (4G, Serial, Ethernet IP,). This connectivity enables remote access and diagnostic, maintenance and operation, minimising site visits and operating costs.
Our panels offer advanced functionalities to minimise total installation and operation costs:
- High Power Loops for optimal cabling
- Up to 72 hours backup ability, out-of-the-box
- IP connectivity enabling diagnostics to be done remotely, reducing visits to site and travelling time
- Step-by-step setup wizards and auto-configuration for fast configuration for installers
- Pre-programmed operating/regional modes
- Intuitive service mode
- Full backward compatibility with Aritech series aswell as migration options for older product ranges
- Hybrid wireless version available for areas where cabling is difficult to run
- A system that can be monitored 24/7 by a central monitoring station
In addition, the system is available with:
- Both standard and touchscreen panels, the latter allowing faster operation.
- Both small and standard-size panel cabinets (compact repeaters available as well)
- The ability to network to conventional (incl. extinguishing) panels
- The ability to network with Wireless and Aspiration detection systems
- Conventional zones on the loop using 1x Address without Zone Monitoring device
- Additional conventional sounder outputs per loop
- Optionally up to 40 LED Zone indicators for Fire and Fault
- UC240 gateway Kit for CMS connection and APP notification of events
We also offer a suite of software tools to design, configure and operate the Fire detection and alarm system:
- System Builder design tool for loop and fall-back battery capacity calculations
- PCC-EX software for easy and intuitive Fire panel configuration
- Design Tool to configure zones and maps to the panel
- Management software: ATS8600 graphic remote monitoring software.
- Additional SDK Integrations can be considered upon request
Excellence Series Devices
Fully integrated into the Kidde Commercial fire detection and alarm control panel, the EXCELLENCE SERIES device range is ideally suited for the protection of commercial and light industrial buildings of all sizes.
