The Kidde KC-CLA1 adds Class A (Style Z) capability to Evolve Series notification appliance circuits without additional wire runs. It plugs directly into the Evolve Series system, converting standard Class B NAC wiring to Class A - giving the circuit a redundant return path so notification appliances stay operational even if a single open or ground fault occurs on the line.
Built for the commercial fire installer
Class A wiring is required by code in many jurisdictions for high-rise, healthcare, and institutional occupancies. The KC-CLA1 lets you meet that requirement on Evolve Series jobs without pulling extra conductors back to the panel. The module is UL Listed and RoHS compliant, and installs as a simple plug-in - no soldering, no field wiring on the module itself.
Key features
- Plug-in installation: header connectors on both ends, no field wiring required on the module
- Class A (Style Z) fault tolerance: NAC circuit continues operating through a single open or ground fault
- Evolve Series compatible: designed specifically for Kidde Commercial Evolve Series fire alarm systems
- UL Listed for code-compliant installations
- RoHS compliant
System requirements
Requires a Kidde Commercial Evolve Series fire alarm control panel with NAC circuits. The adapter module plugs into the system's NAC infrastructure - consult the Evolve Series installation manual for exact placement and wiring configuration.
