With 24/7 flight operations and over 30,000 aircraft movements a year, the Lufthansa Technik MRO centre demands the round-the-clock vigilance of a fire detection and alarm system of the highest integrity. This is why the specification comprises a custom-built 12-loop syncro analogue addressable fire control panel from Kentec with the system integrated, via Hochiki interface modules, to an installation comprising over 1,500 Hochiki sensing and detecting devices, supported by Hochiki's open protocol fire data communications. Remote interrogation and control of the Syncro system is via Kentec's full function View repeater unit.

This system was installed by Fire-Tech of Malta, who specify Kentec and Hochiki as they believe that this is a well proven, open protocol system solution ensuring seamless integration and assured reliability which matches the demand of this world class aviation company.
