The KIR-DDOS-ROT is the field-replaceable optical sensor tube assembly for the Kidde KIR-DDOS Intelligent Optica Duct Smoke Detector (Rotary Addressed). When the sensing chamber in an existing KIR-DDOS needs service or replacement, this drop-in tube gets the detector back online without pulling the entire duct housing off the HVAC run.
Built for fast field service
The sensor tube uses Kidde's Optica photoelectric (light-scattering) detection technology - the same sensing principle as the parent detector. It installs from either the duct side or inside the sensor compartment, and the sampling tube rotates in 45-degree increments so you can align it with duct airflow without repositioning the housing. No special tools required beyond what's already on the truck.
Key details
- Direct replacement for KIR-DDOS: purpose-built for the Intelligent Optica Duct Smoke Detector (Rotary Addressed model only)
- Dual-access installation: insert from the duct side or from inside the sensor compartment
- Rotary sampling tube alignment: 45-degree increments for proper airflow orientation
- Optica photoelectric sensing: light-scattering detection technology for reliable smoke detection in HVAC ducts
- Minimizes downtime: swap the sensor tube in the field without removing or replacing the full duct detector assembly
System compatibility
The parent KIR-DDOS detector operates on Kidde Intelligent SLC loops and is compatible with the VS4, FX-350, and FX-64 series fire alarm control panels. This replacement sensor tube restores full detection capability to an existing KIR-DDOS installation.
