Who Are Gent Fire Alarms?
Founded in 1872 and now operating under the Honeywell umbrella, Gent is synonymous with premium, high-integrity commercial fire detection.
They are the manufacturer of choice for demanding buildings that require an advanced, manufacturer backed fire alarm system with strong lifecycle support.
Gent operates a Managed Protocol. While this means the system is not as “open” as other brands, it guarantees that every component—from the flagship Vigilon control panel to the detectors—is designed to work together in a tightly controlled, ultra reliable ecosystem.
Their standout innovation is the renowned S-Quad detection range. These highly efficient, intelligent devices combine a smoke sensor, heat sensor, carbon monoxide detector, voice alarm, and a flashing EN54-23 visual alarm all within a single ceiling unit. For building owners, this advanced detection ensures fewer false alarms, while the all in one design guarantees a much cleaner installation with fewer devices cluttering your ceilings and less wiring required.
Gent Fire Alarm System Design & Installation
WFP is highly experienced in the design and installation of Gent fire alarm systems. While a Managed Protocol is not the cheapest or most open route on the market, when it is installed and maintained by the right specialist, it provides an exceptionally robust, high integrity platform.
Gent systems are ideal for large, complex sites such as hospitals, university campuses, and premium office blocks where reliability cannot be compromised. Because the Vigilon system and S-Quad devices are engineered to be highly backward compatible, a Gent installation comes with incredibly strong lifecycle support, protecting your investment for decades to come.
From the initial design and loop calculations to the final installation, WFP manages the entire process. Once your Gent system is installed, we thoroughly test and certify it, giving you complete confidence that your building is protected by one of the most advanced, false alarm resistant networks available.
Gent Fire Alarm System Maintenance & Repairs
At WFP, we also provide comprehensive maintenance and repair services for Gent Fire Alarms.
Our experienced engineers can provide regular maintenance to ensure that your system is always in good working order, with a regular service helping to reduce the chances of faults, call outs and that beeping alarm that does your head in!
By offering a regular service plan, this helps to reduce costly call outs – the better the maintenance, the less the likelihood of it going wrong.
If your Gent fire alarm system does develop a fault, we offer fast and reliable repair services to get it up and running again as quickly as possible, as well as having a range of spares to ensure that if any part does fail, we can quickly source and fit a replacement to reduce downtime.
3400 Panel –The Gent 3400 panel was a versatile system that is suitable for small and medium-sized buildings. It can support up to 8 loops and up to 254 devices per loop.
34000 Panel –The Gent 34000 panel was an upgrade on the 3400 and designed for larger buildings supporting up to 12 loops and up to 254 devices per loop. These systems could be networked to cover larger premises and would work in areas or across the whole site as one larger system. The cause and effects matrix of these systems were impressive in what they could achieve, but complex to formulate and commission.
32000 Panel –The Gent 32000 panel was an entry level flexible and scalable system that can support up to 2 loops and up to 254 devices per loop.
Vigilon – The Vigilon is a facelift on the 34000 system and for many years ran the 34000 detectors before moving on to the S-Quad detection range. It was and still is a powerful fire alarm system that uses advanced technology to detect fires quickly and accurately. It can support up to 8 loops and up to 254 devices per loop. The system by its nature inherited the best bits from the 34000 system and has been widely installed across many large sites in major cities in the United Kingdom.
Vigilon Mini – The Vigilon Mini is a compact version of the full Vigilon system fire alarm system that is ideal for small buildings. It’s a single loop system and produced at a specific price bracket. For a small system it offers a lot of features, but can’t be networked with other panels, which is the domain of its bigger brother the Vigilon, or Vidgy as its known in the trade.
3400 Optical Heat Detectors - The Gent 3400 optical heat detectors are designed to detect smoke and heat. They were designed for the 3400 system and were ahead of their time, using algorithms to determine a ‘real’ fire and particularly useful in areas where traditional smoke detectors may be prone to false alarms. The 3400 detectors came with loop isolation as standard, which at the time was absolutely groundbreaking as it meant it was the most robust system on the market.
34000 Optical Heat Detectors - The Gent 34000 optical heat detectors were similar but an upgrade of the 3400 detectors but much smaller in diameter and used surface mount technology therefore were cheaper and quicker to produce.
S-Quad Detection Range - The S-Quad detection range is the current range of Gent detectors and combines multiple elements for sensing and sounding: smoke, heat, carbon monoxide detection, electronic sounders or voice alarm speech, all in the one efficient and low powered device.
Legacy - The Gent 3260 is a conventional fire alarm system designed for small and medium-sized buildings. It can support up to 32 devices per zone.
Xenex - The Xenex is the current long-standing non-addressable fire alarm system that is easy to install and maintain. It is ideal for small buildings and can support up to 20 detectors.
