Kentec Taktis Fire Panel Training Course

Master the UK’s Most Advanced Addressable Fire Alarm Platform

Kentec’s Taktis range is rapidly becoming the preferred choice for complex UK installations — from hospitals and universities to multi-site retail and critical national infrastructure. As Kentec’s most powerful and sophisticated analogue addressable fire panel, Taktis offers capabilities far beyond the older Syncro platform.

This course gives UK installers, commissioning engineers, and maintenance professionals the hands-on skills needed to confidently work with Taktis systems in real-world environments.

Why Train on Kentec Taktis Fire Panel?

1. Taktis Is Kentec’s Most Advanced Panel

Taktis is designed for modern, large-scale, and highly integrated buildings. It supports:

  • Up to 16 detection loops (depending on configuration)
  • Networking of up to 32 panels, with approval pending for up to 127 panels
  • A 7-inch colour touchscreen with an intuitive interface
  • High-level redundancy and robust signal-path protection for critical sites

This makes Taktis the go-to choice for UK installers working on hospitals, schools, industrial sites, and multi-building estates.

2. Why Taktis Is Better Than Syncro

Syncro remains widely used — but Taktis is built for the future. Here’s why UK installers increasingly prefer Taktis:

Feature Syncro Taktis
Max loops Typically 2–4 Up to 16 loops
Networking Limited Up to 32 panels (127 pending)
Touchscreen No 7" colour touchscreen
Redundancy Basic Advanced redundancy for critical signal paths
Integration Limited Designed for intelligent building integration
Ideal for Small/medium sites Medium/large/complex sites

3. Growing UK Demand

Taktis is now being specified across:

  • NHS facilities
  • Universities and colleges
  • Multi-site retail
  • Critical national infrastructure
  • Commercial and industrial buildings

Installers who can commission and maintain Taktis panels are in high demand — and often command higher rates.
