The KC2-RB4 is the 6-inch, trim-skirt version of Kidde's KC2 relay base, adding auxiliary relay functionality underneath any KC2 series detector head so a single conventional loop can also drive a fan shutdown, damper, or door closer directly off the detector's alarm state.
Why installers reach for it
- Built-in auxiliary relay: contacts change state automatically the moment the connected detector goes into alarm.
- Trim skirt included: the 6-inch diameter base ships with a trim skirt already in place, hiding mounting tabs without ordering a separate GSA-TS accessory.
- Shares detector diagnostics: works with any KC2-OS, KC2-OSH, or KC2-H head - no separate wiring scheme to remember per detector type.
