RS485 INTERFACE CARD – 4 CONVENTIONAL ZONES (K545)

RS485 interface card used to connect and monitor up to four conventional fire detection zones to Kentec Syncro / Kentec Taktis control panels (compatible with Hochiki ESP protocol), also incorporating two sounder outputs and relay contacts.

Certified for use within systems compliant with EN 54 standards and often UL/FM approved (subject to overall system configuration).

🔥 RS485 Interface Card – 4 Conventional Detection Zones

Model: Kentec Syncro 4 Way Conventional Detection Zone Module
Compatible Panels: Kentec Syncro / Kentec Taktis
Protocol Compatibility: Hochiki ESP

📌 General Description

The RS485 4-Zone Conventional Detection Module is designed to interface up to four conventional fire detection zones with Kentec Syncro or Taktis addressable fire alarm control panels.

The module communicates via RS485 serial bus, allowing conventional detection circuits to be integrated into a fully addressable fire alarm system. It provides supervised inputs and outputs, making it ideal for mixed (hybrid) installations where conventional devices must be connected to an addressable control panel.

This module can effectively replace a standalone conventional panel when connected to the RS485 communication network of the main control panel.

🛠️ Main Technical Features

🔹 Detection Zone Inputs

4 fully supervised conventional detection zones
Up to approximately 30 conventional detectors per zone (depending on system design)
