The SA-ETH card gives a compatible Kidde fire alarm panel a standard 10/100 Ethernet connection for uploading and downloading panel configuration, history, and status to a PC running the configuration utility, or for connecting to a compatible central monitoring station receiver over the network.
Built for the commercial fire installer
The card mounts to the panel's plastic assembly and connects to the main circuit board through a single ribbon cable, so installation is a bracket-and-cable job rather than a full board swap. Four status LEDs (link, speed, duplex, collision) give a quick read on network health right at the card, and the card must be configured through panel programming before it's live on the network.
Key features
