What Are Gent Fire Alarm Systems?
Fire alarms are essential for protecting commercial and residential buildings against the dangers of fire. One of the leading manufacturers of fire alarm systems is Gent Fire Alarms.
Gent was started by John Thomas Gent back in the 19th century – 1872 is often the date given for the company’s formation, but it could have been even earlier.
Back then though, the focus was electric clocks, used in public buildings and railway stations worldwide.
Fast forward to late in the 20th century, and their emphasis had changed significantly, focusing on fire detection and alarms.
In 2005, Gent was acquired by Honeywell, a multinational that produces a wide range of commercial and consumer products.
Now a brand under the Honeywell umbrella, Gent operates in the Leicester area and continues to be one of the most popular choices for fire alarms in the UK.
With decades of experience in the world of fire alarms, we are highly experienced when it comes to working with Gent fire alarms, and offer a full range of services including fire alarm maintenance, servicing, monitoring, and fire safety training.

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.
