SKU:
KD-K-RLED-C

The K-RLED-C puts full zone status and common controls at a secondary location without running back to the FACP. Sixteen pairs of zone LEDs display active and trouble conditions in real time, while dedicated buttons handle Ack/Silence, Reset, Signal Silence, Drill, and Lamp Test - all over a single RS-485 data connection back to the panel.

Built for the commercial fire installer

Compatible with Kidde EVOLVE, VS1, VS4, VM, FX64, and FX1000 fire alarm panels. Zero programming required - set the unit address via DIP switch, wire the RS-485 bus, and the annunciator auto-populates zone data from the panel. Mounts to a standard North American 4-inch square electrical box. UL, ULC, and FM listed.
