Kentec Taktis Fire Panel Training Course – Ireland

Become an Expert in Kentec’s Most Advanced Addressable Fire Alarm System

The Kentec Taktis platform is quickly becoming the preferred choice for complex fire alarm installations across Ireland and the UK. From hospitals and data centres to universities, retail parks and large commercial sites, Taktis delivers a level of power and flexibility far beyond the older Syncro range.

This specialised kentec fire alarm training course is designed for Irish fire alarm installers, commissioning engineers and maintenance professionals who want to gain practical, hands-on experience with the Taktis system and stay ahead of industry demand.

Why Train on the Kentec Taktis Fire Panel?

1. The Most Advanced Kentec Panel Available

Taktis has been engineered for modern, large-scale and highly integrated buildings. Key capabilities include:

  • Support for up to 16 detection loops (model dependent)
  • Networking of up to 32 panels, with future approval expected for up to 127
  • 7-inch full-colour touchscreen interface
  • High-level redundancy and protected signal paths for critical infrastructure

These features make Taktis the ideal choice for Irish installers working on hospitals, educational campuses, industrial facilities and multi-building estates.

2. Taktis vs Syncro – A New Generation of Fire Panel

While Syncro remains common across Ireland, Taktis is the next-generation platform built for long-term scalability and integration. Here’s how they compare:

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

3. Growing Demand Across Ireland

Taktis is now being specified in:

  • HSE healthcare facilities
  • Irish universities and colleges
  • Retail centres and multi-site chains
  • Critical national infrastructure
  • Commercial and industrial buildings

Engineers who can commission and maintain Taktis systems are in short supply across Ireland — and typically command higher rates.
