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.
