The ASM Products Manual in this section covers the full module range and how it expands the base Syncro AS platform.
Kentec Syncro AS commissioning training
The product manual is comprehensive but assumes existing addressable fire system competence. BH Courses run a dedicated Kentec fire alarm course covering Syncro AS loop addressing, Loop Explorer programming, K-BUS networking and cause-and-effect logic. The course is suited to fire alarm engineers adding Kentec to their certified panel list.
For the touchscreen Kentec platform, see the Taktis manuals. For multi-brand fire alarm training, see the Fire Alarm Training Course.
