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) to meet different country local requirements within Europe. The 2X-AT panel offers all the features of the 2X-A panel, but also includes a touchscreen that makes operation even easier.

The 2X-A and 2X-AT panels are intuitive and easy-to-use, with less time required to install, configure, commission and maintain the system. This helps to reduce cost of ownership throughout the entire life of the system.

The 2X-A/2X-AT panels, with their onboard connectivity (I/P, Serial, USB) options, bring integration possibilities, allowing the fire detection system to link seamlessly with building management systems, HVAC, PAVA and extinguishing systems to minimize damage and risk to life. In addition, faults and alarms can be immediately sent to central monitoring stations and mobile devices. The onboard connectivity also enable the panels to help with remote diagnostics, maintenance and programming, significantly reducing the number of trips to site needed.

The panels are easy to use for installation and maintenance with:

• The availability of High Power Loops that reduce cabling costs
• The ability to operate fully, out of the box, without power for up to 72 hours
• IP connectivity enabling diagnostics to be done remotely, reducing visits to site and travelling time
• Fast to configure/program functionality for installers, using setup wizards and auto-configuration
• Pre-programmed operating/regional modes Intuitive service mode Full backward compatibility
• Hybrid wireless version available for areas where cabling is difficult to run
• The facility to integrate with ConnectedSafety+ software, to operate as part of a larger integrated system
• 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) Tools and software for loop/battery calculations and panel configurations
• The ability to network to conventional (incl. extinguishing) panels
• Additional conventional sounder outputs per loop
• Optionally up to 40 LED Zone indicators for Fire and Fault

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. This broad range includes fire and smoke detection technology, supported by a comprehensive range of manual call points and I/O modules, all of which have a comprehensive feature set. The devices have been designed to make the installer’s and operator’s life easy, with features including:

Detectors:

• Integrated short circuit isolation
• Smoke discrimination
• Tri-colour status indicators
• 360° alarm visibility Passes most
• EN54 test fires with a single device
• Short circuit supervision on remote output
• Can co-exist with legacy 2000 series devices on new panels
• The availability of retrofit bases to allow the covering of dirty marks on ceilings around detectors when older systems are replaced, avoiding delays and additional cost for the painting of ceilings
• With integrated drift compensation that extends the service life of the detector, as well as an on-site interchangeable optical chamber when the device eventually requires servicing, the life expectancy of a new installation is easily 10 years or more.

I/O Modules:

• DIN or wall mount B
• road range of control devices
• Pluggable connectors
• Integrated short circuit isolation Local test facility per channel Local
• LED status indication per channel Can co-exist with legacy 2000 series devices on new panels

Manual Call Points

• With or without integrated short circuit isolation
• Dual LED alarm indication
• Tri-colour status indication 180° alarm visibility
• Resettable or frangible element support
• Front facing test key facility
• Mechanical alarm flag
• Matching test key
• Can co-exist with legacy 2000 series devices on new panels
• For regional flexibility both EN54 and DIN type manual call points are supported

The new EXCELLENCE SERIES provides a new level of features and benefits, complementing the new Kidde Commercial panels to provide accurate and immediate smoke detection that is quickly communicated to key stakeholders to initiate a decisive response.
