Kentec takes control of
extinguishant technology
» » KENTEC ELECTRONICS LTD IS ONE OF
the world’s leading manufacturers of life

extinguishing control module technology.
Since 1985 the company has been at the
forefront of developments in comprehensive
systems for extinguishant control.
Kentec’s market-leading Sigma and
Syncro ranges of extinguishing control
panels are specified across the world in
environments where system continuity is
critical, and fire prevention management
of the highest reliability is essential,
including data centres, airports and
financial centres. Kentec’s Sigma XT is
simple, powerful and highly configurable
and compatible with intrinsically safe
barriers, which makes it ideal for use in
hazardous areas.
The Sigma XT offers outstanding value
and performance for all small to medium
fixed firefighting installations, while the

protected areas. Kentec’s Syncro XT+
addressable multi-area extinguishant
control panel allows extinguishing
systems to take full advantage of the
more sophisticated detection techniques
provided by modern fire detectors as
well as the other benefits of analogue
addressable systems such as control of
loop connected sounders, beacons and
input/output modules.
All Sigma and Syncro panels are fully
approved to EN12094-1, EN54-2 & EN54-
4. Also available from Kentec: leading
ranges of EN, UL & FM, Marine, Analogue,

SECUREFAST’S SUCCESSFUL STS202 TEST
F. Bamford endorses Mortice Electro-Magnetic Lock
» » ONE OF THE UK’S LEADING NAMES
in security doors and access controls,
Stockport-based Bamford Doors has
announced its successful attainment of
STS202 Burglary Resistance Level 2 with
its latest Communal Aluminium Door
and Frame, incorporating the all new
Securefast AEM12000R standard grade
3 monitored mortice Electro-Magnetic
Lock.
Addressing the demand for greater
security resistance, particularly
on entrance doors, F. Bamford
commissioned the Securefast Electro-
Magnetic lock for its test door, based on
the lock’s impressive minimum holding
force of 4.2Kn and certified testing to
TS010:2016, which verifies the products
grade 3 security standard and 200,000
cycle performance.
Carried out at leading test house
Exova in Wednesbury, the STS202
testing allows for the use of common
hand tools and levers, in addition to
physical force in the attempt to open the
door. The test is designed to emulate an
attack by an opportunist criminal on the
doors locking points using simple tools
that could be concealed in a pocket or
under a jacket. Burglaries at this level
tend to occur when time is a factor and
the noise level needs to be kept to a
minimum.
With a commitment to supplying fully-
tested and certified products wherever
possible, the Securefast range of mortice,
transom housings and face fixed electro-
magnetic locks have been third party
certified to EN1634-1 fire testing for 30
and 60 minute timber doors, ensuring
that the Securefast name the first choice
in locking solutions for fire rated doors.
The Securefast objective is to provide all
customers with complete confidence and
quality consistency throughout their wide
range of products.
