  • 30-day returns on unopened products

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.

FAQs

What system does the ANS100XR expand?
The ANS100XR is an expander for the Kidde ANS100 Audio Notification / Voice Evacuation System. It adds 100 watts of audio output to increase speaker circuit capacity on larger installations.
Does the ANS100XR include its own power supply?
Yes. The panel includes an integrated supervised power supply and battery charger, so it operates through AC power loss when backup batteries are connected.
Does it generate its own alarm tone?
Yes. The ANS100XR has a built-in temporal pattern alarm tone generator that meets NFPA 72 temporal-three evacuation signal requirements.
Can I add more than one expander to an ANS100 system?
Consult the ANS100 system documentation or your Kidde representative for maximum expander capacity. Each ANS100XR adds 100W of audio output to the system.
