Gent Vigilon Commissioning Manual

The Vigilon Commissioning Manual is the official Honeywell Gent reference for setting up the Gent Vigilon intelligent addressable fire alarm panel. It covers loop addressing, S-Quad protocol configuration, cause-and-effect programming, networking and walk test sign-off.

What the manual covers

• First power-on, panel discovery, initial menu navigation
• Gent S-Quad protocol loop addressing
• Zone configuration and labelling
• Cause-and-effect programming with logical groups and time delays
• Networking Vigilon panels for distributed and multi-building sites
• Voice evacuation integration
• Walk test procedures and commissioning sign-off
• Fault diagnostics for loop, network and power faults
• Battery sizing and standby calculations

Who should use this manual

This manual is for fire alarm commissioning engineers working on new or modified Gent Vigilon installations. The S-Quad protocol differs significantly from Apollo and Hochiki addressable systems, so engineers experienced on other platforms still need Gent-specific competence.

Gent S-Quad protocol

The S-Quad protocol is Gent’s proprietary high-speed addressable bus protocol, optimised for fast response and reliability. It is not interchangeable with Apollo or Hochiki devices — Gent installations use Gent-branded detectors, manual call points and modules.
