· By KiddeFenwal Việt Nam
ASHLAND, Mass. – September 24, 2024 – KiddeFenwal, a world leader in designing and manufacturing industrial and commercial fire suppression systems and safety controls, unveiled the AEGIS™-PHX Conventional Control Unit, or the “Phoenix” – the latest iteration of its leading AEGIS™ fire suppression control unit.
Newly offered under the Kidde Fire Systems brand, the product has been specifically enhanced for special hazard fire suppression applications requiring gaseous (chemical, CO₂, inert gas), chemical (wet chemical, dry chemical) or water-based agents, keeping the needs and challenges of technicians and end users top of mind.
Key features
- 1,000-event history log with a real-time clock, automatically time-stamping events that triggered the release of fire suppression agents.
- Fully programmable input/output circuits, a 4×40 LCD screen and advanced diagnostics.
- Pre-defined configurations for clean agent systems and low-pressure CO₂ applications streamline installation and operation.
- Compatible with current and legacy fire sensors and suppression systems from Kidde Fire Systems, Fenwal Protection Systems and Chemetron Fire Systems; supports water-mist and sprinkler solenoid releases.
- “Plug-and-play” retrofitting into existing AEGIS™ installations; an enclosure option with door-mounted controls reduces installation expenses while maintaining regulatory compliance.
- Triple redundancy safeguards minimize the risk of unintended suppression activation.
“This exciting new Phoenix offering exemplifies KiddeFenwal’s enduring commitment to product innovation and our laser-like focus on the experience of technicians, operators, and end users,” said Rachid Ouenniche, then CEO of KiddeFenwal. “We look forward to bringing to market many more highly integrated, competitively priced, customer-supported fire suppression and safety controls that set the industry pace.”
The Phoenix began shipping in early November 2024. Initial feedback from distributors and testers was positive, with Colorado-based XDS Fire noting the unit “exceeds almost all expectations.”
