  • 30-day returns on unopened products

The EVOLVE-SLC-250 adds a single Signaling Line Circuit loop to Kidde EVOLVE fire alarm control panels, scaling addressable device capacity as the project grows. Each module supports up to 250 addressable devices on one SLC loop while maintaining consistent system performance and supervision across the EVOLVE platform.

Built for scalable fire alarm design

This expansion module integrates directly into the EVOLVE FACP chassis without reconfiguring the base panel or disrupting existing SLC loops. Installers can spec flexible system designs that expand over time - reducing upfront costs while preserving future capacity on a single, consistent platform. When the job outgrows the base panel's loop count, adding a module is a cleaner path than upsizing the entire FACP.

Key benefits

  • One additional 250-device SLC loop per module for straightforward capacity planning
  • Direct chassis integration with Kidde EVOLVE Series fire alarm control panels
  • Scalable system growth without replacing the base FACP or reconfiguring existing loops
  • Consistent EVOLVE architecture across all loops for simplified installation and service
  • Standardized expansion component for predictable stocking and specification

System requirements

Requires a Kidde EVOLVE Series fire alarm control panel. The module installs directly into the FACP chassis. Consult the EVOLVE panel installation manual for slot availability and loop wiring details.

FAQs

How many addressable devices does the EVOLVE-SLC-250 support?
Each module adds one SLC loop supporting up to 250 addressable devices - detectors, modules, pull stations, and other SLC-connected field devices.
What fire alarm panels is the EVOLVE-SLC-250 compatible with?
The module is designed exclusively for Kidde EVOLVE Series fire alarm control panels. It installs directly into the FACP chassis using a dedicated expansion slot.
Can the EVOLVE-SLC-250 be added to an existing installed system?
Yes. The module expands an existing EVOLVE panel without reconfiguring the base system or disrupting existing SLC loops. Power down the panel, seat the module, wire the new loop, and restore power.
Does adding an SLC expansion module require a different power supply?
Consult the EVOLVE panel installation manual for power budget calculations. Adding devices to a new SLC loop increases overall system current draw, which may require auxiliary power supplies depending on the device load.
