The FX-IDC1B connects one conventional initiating device circuit to a Kidde FX Series SLC loop, letting installers bring 2-wire smoke detectors, pull stations, waterflow switches, and other contact devices onto an intelligent addressable system without replacing them. Mini form factor fits tight spaces above ceilings and inside junction boxes where full-size modules won't go.
Built for the fire alarm installer
Powered directly from the SLC loop (15-32 VDC) with no additional power supply required. Two rotary decade switches set the address (0-159) without a laptop or programming tool. The onboard LED confirms communication status at a glance during commissioning and troubleshooting. UL and ULC listed for commercial fire alarm applications.
