Kentec K3000 Conventional Fire Panel Manual

The K3000 Manual is the official Kentec reference for the legacy K3000 conventional fire alarm panel. The K3000 has been superseded by the current Sigma CP range but remains in active service across many UK buildings, particularly schools and small commercial premises installed in the 1990s and 2000s.

What the manual covers

• Cabinet mounting and AC mains wiring
• Battery sizing for 24h standby + 30 min alarm
• Conventional zone wiring with end-of-line resistors
• Sounder circuit (NAC) wiring
• Manual call point and detector wiring
• Fire and fault relay outputs
• Walk test procedure
• Zone and sounder isolation
• Common fault codes and recovery

Who should use this manual

This manual is for fire alarm engineers maintaining or modifying existing K3000 installations. Engineers commissioning new conventional installations should be specifying the current Sigma CP range instead.
