Honeywell Gent Vigilon range

Honeywell Gent Vigilon Range – Fire Alarm Control Panels

The Gent Vigilon range is Honeywell’s flagship family of addressable fire alarm control panels, trusted across the UK for their scalability, reliability, and advanced fire detection technology. First launched in the late 1990s and continually developed since, the Vigilon system remains one of the most recognised and widely specified fire safety platforms in the market.

At Fire Trade Supplies, we stock the full selection of Gent Vigilon panels and accessories, including the Vigilon Plus and Vigilon Compact Plus models, with next-day UK delivery and expert advice from our technical team.

What Is the Gent Vigilon Range?

The Vigilon fire alarm system is designed to provide centralised monitoring and control of all connected devices in a building – from detectors and call points to sounders and visual alarms.

Unlike conventional panels that only identify fire zones, Vigilon offers addressable detection, meaning every individual device is identified at the panel. This allows for faster, more accurate alarm handling and targeted responses to real incidents.

Vigilon is particularly valued for:

• False alarm reduction through advanced algorithms.
• Multi-panel networking across large estates.
• Flexible loop capacity – from 1 loop to 6 loops.
• Integration with S-Quad and S-Cubed devices for complete life safety coverage.

Gent Vigilon Plus Control Panel

The Vigilon Plus is the leading addressable panel in the Gent range, offering powerful system control for medium to large buildings.

Key features of Vigilon Plus:

• Available in 1–6 loop configurations, each loop supporting up to 200 devices.
• Networkable with other panels via copper or fibre links.
• Back-lit LCD display and intuitive user interface for ease of operation.
• EN54-4 compliant power supply, with 24-hour or 72-hour battery backup options.
• Event logging and diagnostics for easy maintenance and compliance.
• Seamless compatibility with Gent S-Quad detectors and Gent S-Cubed sounders & VADs.

Vigilon Plus is widely used in hospitals, universities, industrial sites, and government buildings where large, complex fire alarm systems are required.

Gent Vigilon Compact Plus

For smaller projects that still require addressable technology, the Vigilon Compact Plus provides all the intelligence of Vigilon Plus in a 1–2 loop design.

Compact Plus is ideal for:

• Schools and academies
• Care homes and residential complexes
• Small to medium offices
• Retail outlets and community buildings

Despite its smaller size, the Compact Plus panel retains full compatibility with Gent S-Quad detectors and can be networked if required, making it a cost-effective yet future-proof solution.

System Integration & Compatible Devices

The Gent Vigilon range is designed to integrate seamlessly with Honeywell Gent’s market-leading detection and alarm devices, including:

• S-Quad Detectors – multi-sensors combining smoke, heat, CO, sounder, and VAD options.
• Gent S-Cubed Sounders & VADs – loop-powered devices with EN54-23 visual alarm compliance.
• Gent Call Points – manual activation units with resettable or break-glass operation.
• Gent Interfaces & Modules – input/output units for system expansion.

This full integration means a Vigilon panel can manage detection, alert, and evacuation strategies in one coordinated system, reducing costs and simplifying commissioning.

Benefits of the Gent Vigilon Range

✔ Scalable – suitable for everything from small schools to multi-site hospitals.
✔ Intelligent detection – advanced cause-and-effect programming reduces unwanted alarms.
✔ Future-proof – networkable and compatible with the latest Gent S-Quad detectors.
✔ Inclusive safety – EN54-23 compliant VADs meet Equality Act 2010 requirements.
✔ Trusted performance – decades of use across thousands of UK installations.

Applications of Gent Vigilon Panels

The flexibility of the Vigilon range makes it suitable for diverse environments:

• Healthcare – hospitals and clinics where false alarm reduction is critical.
• Education – primary schools through to university campuses.
• Commercial – office buildings and business parks.
• Retail & Leisure – shopping centres, gyms, and entertainment venues.
• Public Sector – government facilities, council buildings, and transport hubs.

Wherever reliability, compliance, and scalability are needed, Gent Vigilon provides the answer.

Installation & Commissioning

Gent Vigilon panels are designed to support fast installation and commissioning. Using PC-based configuration software, engineers can set up devices, program cause-and-effect strategies, and test system responses with ease. Built-in diagnostics and event logs simplify ongoing maintenance, while advanced power management ensures loop integrity.

As a closed protocol system, Gent requires configuration and maintenance by authorised partners, ensuring system reliability and compliance with fire safety regulations.
