SKU:
KD-EVOLVE-24L18S

The Kidde EVOLVE-24L18S gives Evolve Series fire alarm systems remote zone visibility and operator control from a secondary location. Twenty-four programmable 5-color LEDs deliver at-a-glance zone status - alarm, trouble, supervisory, normal - without walking back to the main panel. Eighteen programmable switches provide direct system control from a lobby command center, security desk, or maintenance office.

Built for the commercial fire alarm installer

This control display module drops onto the SLC of any Evolve Series FACP. The slim vertical form factor fits tight wall spaces and clean installations. Evolve panels support up to 30 annunciators total, so you can scale visibility across the building as the system grows - one CDM per floor, per wing, or per high-traffic checkpoint.
