KiddeFenwal has unveiled the AEGIS-PHX Conventional Control Unit, also known as The Phoenix—the latest iteration of the company’s AEGIS fire suppression control unit. The product is enhanced for special hazard fire suppression applications requiring gaseous (chemical, CO2, inert gas), chemical (wet chemical, dry chemical), or water-based agents. The Phoenix features a 1,000-event history log with a real-time clock, automatically time-stamping events that triggered the release of fire suppression agents. It also features fully programable Input-Output circuits, a 4x40 LCD screen, and advanced diagnostics capabilities.

Its 15 pre-defined configurations make sequence-of-operation selections for typical clean agent and low-pressure CO2 systems quick and easy, while its PC-based configuration utility allows for more complex operation configurations. The Phoenix is backwards compatible with current and legacy smoke and heat type fire sensors, notification appliances, and fire suppression platforms by Kidde Fire Systems, Fenwal Protection Systems, and Chemetron Fire Systems. The control unit is also compatible with water-mist and sprinkler solenoid releases.
