The VM-ETH1 Ethernet Adapter Card gives a Kidde VM Series panel a standard 10/100 Ethernet connection back to the VM-CU programming and diagnostics software, over a standard network cable instead of a direct laptop connection at the panel.
Built for the commercial fire installer
Once the VM-ETH1 is installed and configured, programming changes, diagnostics, and status checks can happen from anywhere on the customer's network Ć¢ā¬ā no truck roll and no cracking the cabinet open just to pull event history. It's the base Ethernet option in the VM-ETH family; VM-ETH2 adds central station receiver connectivity and VM-ETH3 adds email/SMS alerting on top of that.
Key features
- Remote programming and diagnostics: connects the panel to the network for VM-CU software access without an on-site laptop

- 200 ft. max. run from panel to network equipment on standard Cat 5 or Cat 5e cable
- Field-configurable IP addressing (default 192.168.001.003)
System compatibility
