Kentec LD-WL8-LACP Wireless Lockdown Alarm Control Panel

Kentec LD-WL8-LACP Wireless Lockdown Alarm Control Panel

LD-WL8-LACP is a wireless lockdown alarm control panel which can be used as part of a Kentec wireless lockdown system to initiate lockdown messages. The panel is provided with 3 activation key switches which prevent unauthorized operation. Each key switch is connected to a Wireless Lockdown Input Module (LD-WL8-IN) within the enclosure which monitors the status of the key switch. When the key switch is operated it will trigger its input module which sends a signal to the lockdown translator which subsequently send a signal to the lockdown voice annunciators to play the required lockdown message.

The key switches have two positions marked as “NORMAL” and “PLAY MESSAGE”. Keys are captive in the “PLAY MESSAGE” position preventing the key from being removed once the key switch has been operated.

Text windows are located next to the key switches indicating the function of that key switch, these are:

• Lockdown - Activates the system to play the lockdown notification message.
• Covert - Plays a covert message across the system to notify specific personnel without causing general disruption.
• All Clear - Plays an All Clear message across the system to notify that the lockdown event is over.

Only one key switch should be operated at any one time, however the lockdown message is allocated the highest priority and if operated at the same time as any other message it will override them.

This product has been created following the introduction of the Terrorism Act 2025 (Martyn’s Law)  brought in following the terrorist attack at the Manchester Arena where 22 people died and hundreds  more were injured, many under the age of 16. The act is designed to improve safety at public accessible  locations and introduces a duty of care for venue operators, requiring them to put proportionate  protective measures in place to safeguard the public. The Kentec Wireless Lockdown Notification  System provides the broadcasting of clear and concise voice messaging to building/site occupants in  the event of an emergency which requires Lockdown of the building/site. The system provides manual activation and broadcast of voice messages for Lockdown activation, covert lockdown activation, and All Clear events. 

The Wireless Lockdown Notification System is based on the established K-Mesh Wireless Fire Detection product range with minor modifications in functionality to meet the requirements for Lockdown notification. This provides users confidence in the performance and reliability of the system.
