Kidde | R-Series LCD Text Remote Annunciator with Common Controls for EVOLVE & FX FACP | K-RLCD-C

The K-RLCD-C gives installers full system visibility and common control functions from a secondary location on Kidde Commercial EVOLVE, FX, and VS fire alarm panels. A four-line, 20-character backlit LCD display mirrors the main FACP readout over RS-485, showing active alarms, supervisory conditions, troubles, and ground faults in real time - no walk back to the head-end required.

Built for the commercial fire installer

Common controls (Ack/Silence, Reset, Signal Silence, Drill, Lamp Test) are built in, so building managers can acknowledge and silence from the annunciator without accessing the main panel. A key switch input provides optional lockout for facilities that restrict control access. UL, ULC, and FM listed. Wiring runs up to 4,000 feet on 18-14 AWG twisted pair, supporting Class A (DCLA) and Class B (DCLB) configurations.
