Kentec Electronics promotes benefits of K-Mesh technology

Wireless Expander modules are designed to increase the reach and capacity of the wireless system, while also providing “exceptional” levels of redundancy through the Mesh configuration.

K-Mesh is configurable to any size and complexity of building. The system can be designed, programmed and commissioned from the free K-Mesh Configurator software ahead of any site visit, which helps to save on installation time. What’s more, the system has been independently tested and approved by the Loss Prevention Certification Board.

K-Mesh sensors are supplied in three variants: Optical, Thermal and Multi-Criteria, which cover a wide range of applications.

For its part, the K-Mesh Expander module creates a self-healing mesh network, which constantly relays field device signals back to the Translator module.

Sometimes still considered to be the ‘new kid on the block’, wireless fire detection has rapidly evolved to offer a highly sophisticated, reliable and scalable life safety solution. Kentec’s K-Mesh range supports various devices including smoke detectors, heat detectors and manual Call Points.

With 75,000 devices successfully installed at upwards of 750 sites across the UK, K-Mesh has proven its effectiveness for new construction projects and refurbishments encompassing hotels, offices, schools, hospitals and heritage sites (the latter including Chester Cathedral) where there’s a defined need to balance architectural preservation with safety.
