The Kidde ANS100XR adds 100 watts of audio output to an existing ANS100 voice evacuation system without replacing the base panel. Drop it into the same cabinet or an adjacent enclosure, wire it to the main ANS100, and expand speaker circuit coverage across larger buildings or higher-ambient-noise environments.
Built for the commercial fire alarm installer
Voice evacuation jobs grow. The ANS100XR is how you grow with them - a self-contained 100W expander that includes its own audio amplifier, temporal pattern alarm tone generator, supervised power supply, and integrated battery charger. FAULT, NORMAL, and ALARM status LEDs on the front panel give at-a-glance system health without opening the enclosure.
Key capabilities
- 100W audio amplifier: extends speaker circuit reach for large commercial occupancies, high-rise stairwells, and high-noise industrial environments
- Built-in temporal pattern tone: meets NFPA 72 temporal-three evacuation signal requirements without external tone generators
- Integrated power supply and battery charger: operates independently during AC loss with supervised battery backup
- Front-panel status LEDs: FAULT, NORMAL, and ALARM indicators for fast visual diagnostics during inspection or trouble calls
- Direct expansion of ANS100 systems: pairs with the base ANS100 panel for scalable voice evacuation coverage
System requirements
Requires a Kidde ANS100 Audio Notification System as the base unit. Connect the ANS100XR to the main panel's audio bus to extend speaker circuit capacity. Backup batteries sold separately.
What system does the ANS100XR expand?
Does the ANS100XR include its own power supply?
Does it generate its own alarm tone?
Can I add more than one expander to an ANS100 system?
