The Kidde ANSXM8 adds eight supervised output points to a Kidde intelligent fire alarm system. Each output is a solid-state normally-open dry contact rated at 30 mA max from 0-24V, giving the installer field-configurable flexibility without adding standalone relay hardware.

Built for the fire alarm installer

The eight outputs are individually programmable to follow message activations, paging functions, or control sequences - matching the panel's programming, not fighting it. Each output has a dedicated red LED for at-a-glance status verification during commissioning and troubleshooting. Field configurable as normally-open dry contacts or as separate voltage drive points, so one card covers multiple output strategies without swapping hardware.

Key features

  • Eight supervised outputs on a single interface card - fewer cards, fewer panel slots consumed
  • Solid-state dry contacts rated 30 mA max @ 0-24V for reliable switching without mechanical relay wear
  • Field configurable as normally-open dry contacts or separate voltage drive points
  • Individual LED indicators for each output point - instant visual status during commissioning
  • Programmable per output to follow message, page, or control function activation

System requirements

Mounts inside a compatible Kidde intelligent fire alarm control panel. Consult the panel's installation manual for slot availability and wiring requirements.

FAQs

What does the ANSXM8 output card do?
Provides 8 additional supervised output points for a Kidde intelligent fire alarm panel. Each output can be independently programmed to follow message activations, paging functions, or control sequences.
Can the outputs be configured independently?
Yes. Each of the 8 outputs is individually programmable and field configurable as either a normally-open dry contact or a separate voltage drive point.
What is the output rating?
Each output is a solid-state normally-open dry contact rated at 30 mA max @ 0-24V.
Does each output have a status indicator?
Yes. Each of the 8 output points has a dedicated red LED for visual status verification during commissioning and troubleshooting.
What panels does the ANSXM8 work with?
The ANSXM8 is designed for Kidde intelligent fire alarm control panels. Confirm slot compatibility in the specific panel's installation manual before ordering.
