Syncro AS 2 Loop Addressable Fire Panel

[@fst1775]

I got the second loop card working, It turns out it was just not plugged in properly when I changed the protocol from Hochiki to Apollo.

Great unboxing and demo of the Kentec Syncro AS panel!

[@mrsecurity]

Sick! What an upgrade from the cfp. Looks amazing! Can’t wait to see more of this

[@fst1775]

Thank you very much! I cannot wait too, I’ve got some pretty cool plans with the system. :)

[@mrsecurity]

@@fst1775 quick question, regarding the circuits loops, do you need some sort of expander?

[@fst1775]

@@mrsecurity nope, depending on the panel you can have around 100-120 devices per loop.

[@mrsecurity]

@@fst1775 oh ok

[@gamingwithwilliamyt1341]

@@fst1775 Apollo Protocol can support up 126 devices per loop just checked online

The tone hold of Apollo devices are amazing

[@fst1775]

Yeah ikr, it sounds quite cool when the beacon base holds its tone and the base sounders still doing its tone.

How do you download loop explorer?

[@92Amt]

So thanks

[@Thereal_Adoplays]

Yo! How much you got the panel for? Kentec website or? What was the price?

[@Aaronproductions]

Awesome video!

[@SimplyJoshTrainspotter]

I don't know why but my school has Apollo Devices and they are all quiet intergrated then, when we evacuate the stair ways the sounders are so loud and its still intergrated it's so weird, people are always covering their ears but im like "ugh, so boring why we have to do fire drill" When it first sounds im like ugh and im still in my seat until everyone stands up idk its weird

[@yeety1208]

Just wondering, how do you type on the syncro?

[@fst1775]

Thanks for the question, you use left and right arrow keys to scroll through what place you want to put a character, and you use the up and down arrow keys to chose a character.

How to turn off.

Hi, do you have the software? Would be happy to provide a coppy. Also that kentech is a chub variant, chub often rebrand pannels as control master xxxx. I like working on kentec pannels Any questions I'm always happy to help

[@fst1775]

Thank you, yes I do have loop explorer now but all I need is a programming cable.

[@mattman5406]

@@fst1775 it is something you can make yourself as long as you know how to solder, and get the parts (rs components)

[@fst1775]

@@mattman5406 interesting, I think I’d rather get the cable as I don’t think I have the parts to do it, plus I don’t want to risk damaging the panel or anything.

[@firealarmguy]

Nice I was bidding on that one as well 😂

[@fst1775]

I knew someone would I was the one who sniped £217 I think 😂

@@fst1775 The syncro's are good panels but i wouldn't pay £200 for one not even £130 lol, Hochiki is the best for the syncro's as back in 2012 Hochiki bought kentec and ever since the support for apollo has lacked as they want more and more people to use hochiki on kentec. I heard you mention about the key switch, i have a kentec, its the Kentec Syncro 6000 Series and i managed to get it for £97, they are the bigger version, my one doesn't have a keyswitch and they are very annoying as they leave access 2 quite frequently, for apollo the best panel you can get for them is Advanced Mx4's or 5s. IMO kentecs are good just for demo systems but for a proper system i wouldn't use them for apollo.

[@fst1775]

@@Jaacon05 Yep, I bidded £217 but I only payed £137. But that interesting to know. I do agree with you it does take you out of access within 25 seconds or so.

[@Jaacon05]

@@fst1775 Depending on the version of you're panel you may be able to put discovery sounder bases on their, my syncro is running firmware version 6.30 which supports them.

From IRAN

[@testlogs9005]

probably will replace my panel at some point, like for like. if thats the case i can use it for a demo/research system to further hack apollo hardware and create a toolkit to drive Apollo devices from an arduino. kentec make good kit, if your in need of a USB to kentec adapter to use with loop explorer. drops a message i can get you one for £35.

[@fst1775]

Thanks for the comment. That seems pretty interesting about driving Apollo devices from an Arduino. I’ll have think about getting the USB to Kentec adapter.

[@testlogs9005]

@@fst1775 am not putting pressure on you to get it just letting you know they exist and i can get you one when need be. :)

[@jcfirealarms5780]

That would be great as some people mightnt be able to afford a panel

[@LUVCHUNK]

iv got a few bits and bats lying around and a hochiki programmer if you need one give me a shout

[@kamelsergio2185]

Because it keeps ringing every five seconds
