Kidde Conventional Fire Alarm Panel Description:

The Kidde Conventional Fire Alarm Panel consists of 5 and 10-zone fire alarm control panels (FACP), an optional integrated upload/download DACT (dialer), intelligent/analog-type detector features, serial annunciator modules, and serial remote relay modules. All FACPs and components are listed in the 9th edition of the ANSI/UL 864 standard and CSFM/FDNY approved. Furthermore, these systems incorporate features designed to simplify installation, operation, and maintenance, including front panel programming, one-person walk testing, and selectable IDC (Internet Database Connector) as well as NAC (Notification Appliance Circuits) types.

Additional Information:

Kidde systems are powerful enough to meet the demands of today’s life safety installations while leaving plenty of room to grow in the future. While they support Class A operation by combining pairs of on-board IDCs or NACs to provide the necessary Class A circuits. For example, the 10 Zone Kidde Conventional Panel comes factory set to support 10 Class B IDCs and 4 NACs. But, it can be field-configured to provide 5 Class A IDCs (no Class B IDC’s), and 2 Class A NACs – or any other combination of circuits that fall within the circuit-pairing parameters.

In addition, when used with CleanMe–compatible smoke detectors, these control panels provide intelligent type features such as remote maintenance alert and automatic drift compensation that significantly reduce the chance of a false alarm and simplify maintenance calls. If you would like to add additional capacity to FX installations by adding up to 16 conventional device circuits, you will need to add the Kidde Zone Interface Module.

Features:

• Available in 5 and 10 zone (IDC) models. (See options listed above)
• CleanMe feature provides remote annunciation of a dirty detector
• Automatic drift compensation with select detectors reduces false alarms and extends dust life
• Listed to ANSI UL 864 9th Edition
• Models with fully integrated upload/download DAT enables PC programming
• Zone or NAC pairs convertible to single Class A Circuits
• Combination Waterflow and Supervisory IDCs
• NACs programmable by zone and individually selectable for notification appliances, continuous, temporal outputs, or coded
• In addition, Front panel programming simplifies installation and servicing
• Precision synchronization with compatible notification appliances and optional audible silence over two wires
• On-board relays for Alarm, Supervisory and Trouble
• Optional serial bus relay modules are programmable for Common, Zone, or Matrix activation
• Optional serial bus remote annunciator family
• One-Person walk-test (audible or silent)
• Optional City Tie as well as Reverse Polarity Modules
• Lastly, trim ring is available for semi-flush mounting
