Gent VIG-LPC-EN Vigilon Loop Card
Overview
The Gent VIG-LPC-EN Vigilon Loop Card is an additional or replacement loop card engineered for the Gent Vigilon family of addressable fire alarm control panels. This module allows the connection of an extra loop circuit to an existing panel — provided the panel has available slot capacity. In modern EN54-compliant versions of Vigilon systems, the VIG-LPC-EN delivers improved loop performance and extended device support compared to legacy loop cards.
The card is fully designed to meet EN54-23 specifications, enabling compatibility with certified visual alarm devices (VADs) and supporting enhanced alarm current and loop length for large installations. Gent Vigilon systems with this loop card can support up to 100 EN54-23 visual alarm devices on a single loop, and extended loop runs of up to 2 km depending on installation conditions and device distribution.
Key Features & Technical Highlights
EN54-23 Compliance: Designed for use in EN54 fire safety systems with visual alarm device compatibility.
Extended Device Support: Increased loop current (up to ~800 mA with appropriate devices) and support for more alarm devices per loop.
Enhanced Loop Length: Supports longer addressable device loops — typically up to 2 km of cable under standard conditions.
Compatibility: Works with Vigilon Plus and Compact EN54 panel versions to expand loop capacity.
This loop card is ideal for large fire alarm installations where expanded addressable device networks and extended loop lengths are required.
Industrial Applications
The Gent VIG-LPC-EN Loop Card is widely used in fire alarm and safety systems across industrial and commercial environments requiring scalable addressable loops, including:
Commercial buildings and facilities with large device counts
Industrial complexes where extended loop lengths improve coverage
Hospitals and high-occupancy structures needing EN54-certified fire alarm components
Data centers and infrastructure installations demanding reliable fire detection and alarm expansion.
By providing additional loop capacity, the VIG-LPC-EN supports flexible system expansion and upgraded fire detection capabilities.
Installation & Integration
The Gent VIG-LPC-EN loop card is installed directly onto the Vigilon fire alarm control panel’s board, using standard expansion slots provided by the panel architecture. It communicates with the main controller and other loop cards to manage loop devices, alarms, and diagnostics. Proper commissioning includes ensuring firmware compatibility with the host panel and adherence to loop load guidelines from Gent’s system documentation.

Technical Overview
The Gent VIG-LPC-EN is an addressable loop driver card for the Gent (by Honeywell) Vigilon fire alarm control panel range, used to drive one analogue-addressable detection loop and expand a panel’s overall device capacity. Per Gent’s product documentation as reproduced by authorized UK fire-and-security distributors, the VIG-LPC-EN is compatible with the Vigilon Plus panel range, specifically the VIGPLUS-24 and VIGPLUS-72 control panels, with one loop card required per detection loop the panel supports.
Each loop driven by the VIG-LPC-EN card supports a maximum loop cable length of up to 2 km, extendable further using Gent’s own loop-load design calculation tool, with a loop current of approximately 800 mA when used with Gent’s S-Quad or S-Cubed range of addressable devices. A key capability of this loop card version is support for up to 100 EN54-23-compliant sensor-sounder-strobe visual alarm devices (VADs) on a single 2 km loop, reflecting the growing use of visual alarm devices alongside audible sounders in modern fire alarm system design to meet accessibility and noise-sensitive-environment requirements. The card includes enhanced loop diagnostics tooling to assist commissioning engineers in verifying loop health and device response during system testing. Seven Star LLC notes that the specific loop communication protocol used by the card was not confirmed from an independently accessible manufacturer datasheet during this review, and recommends confirming full panel firmware and protocol compatibility with Seven Star LLC before ordering a replacement or expansion card for an existing Vigilon system.
Applications
The VIG-LPC-EN is used in commercial and industrial addressable fire detection and alarm systems built on the Gent Vigilon platform, particularly installations incorporating EN54-23 visual alarm devices at scale, such as large commercial buildings, hospitals, and industrial facilities where accessible fire alarm notification (visual as well as audible) is required across extensive loop coverage.
Why Seven Star LLC
Seven Star LLC supplies genuine Gent Vigilon fire alarm system components to customers across Oman and the GCC, and helps confirm the correct loop card version and panel compatibility for expanding or maintaining an existing Vigilon fire detection system before order confirmation.

Ordering Notes
When requesting a quotation, please confirm your existing Vigilon panel model (VIGPLUS-24 or VIGPLUS-72), current firmware version, and the number of loops requiring cards, so Seven Star LLC can confirm full compatibility before shipment, particularly important for fire alarm systems where a single incompatible card could affect life-safety system certification.
Compliance and Certification Value
Maintaining a fire alarm system with genuine, manufacturer-approved loop cards is important not only for reliable operation but for the system’s ongoing life-safety certification, since fire authorities and insurers typically require documented use of approved components across the full fire detection and alarm installation. Seven Star LLC ensures every VIG-LPC-EN card supplied is genuine Gent hardware, supporting customers’ compliance documentation across Oman and the GCC.
