Kidde Fire Control System - Kidde Pegasys
Kidde Intelligent Fire Alarm Control Panel
The Concept
What if there was a control system that used microprocessor technology to share the tasks of information gathering and reporting with its fire detectors? What if that system was a powerful, 100% field programmable panel that could control the release of up to nine separate fire suppression systems, in addition to 255 intelligent devices per SLC loop? What if it came with easy-to-program, Windows™-based software that automatically integrated everything from fire detection to alarm to fire suppression system release? Well then, you’d have the revolutionary new Kidde PEGAsys System. The intelligent answer to integrated fire protection for vital facilities.
Faster Response
Thanks to Kidde’s unique Distributed Intelligence architecture, you have more information in a shorter period of time about any type of fire/ supervisory- related event. This enables you to make intelligent decisions about your response. In many cases, you can deal with the incident without the evacuation of personnel or the unnecessary release of your fire suppression systems.
Greater Reliability
Smart fire detectors, coupled with the Kidde PEGAsys control system, have been designed for greater immunity to ambient electrical noise that can lead to nuisance alarms. The net result is more reliable fire detection with fewer interruptions to your facility’s business continuity than is available with other systems on the market.
Easier and More Economical to Install
Whether you’re upgrading fire protection for an existing facility, or building a new complex, the Kidde PEGAsys System is a pleasure to install. That’s because it can be programmed on site using simple, Windows-based software to suit your facility and reprogrammed when your physical configuration changes. It also uses any code compliant wire so retrofits can often be done without replacing the wire. That’s a big savings in time and labor when compared to conventional fire alarm systems.
