The Kidde VS1-R is a single-loop intelligent fire alarm control panel built for small to mid-size commercial fire jobs. It handles up to 64 addressable intelligent devices on one SLC loop, drives two Class B NAC circuits, and runs off 115VAC with a 4.25A onboard power supply. Red door enclosure with English-language LCD display for real-time event, trouble, and alarm annunciation.
