The Kidde KIR-PCD combines photoelectric smoke and electrochemical CO detection in a single intelligent device, cutting install time and ceiling real estate on commercial fire alarm jobs. Rotary addressing lets you set addresses at the detector - no laptop required on the lift.
Built for the commercial fire alarm installer
Designed for Kidde FX Series intelligent fire alarm control panels, the KIR-PCD supports up to 250 addresses per SLC loop. Automatic environmental compensation adjusts for dust, humidity, and temperature drift, reducing nuisance alarms and callbacks. The 10-year electrochemical CO sensor means fewer service visits over the life of the system. UL 268 and UL 2075 listed, with ULC listing to CAN/ULC-S529 and CAN/CSA 6.19.
Key features
- Dual-sensor detection: photoelectric smoke and electrochemical CO in one device - fewer ceiling penetrations, lower material cost
- Rotary addressing: set device addresses mechanically, no programming tool needed at the detector
- Five sensitivity settings and twenty pre-alarm thresholds configurable from the FACP for application-specific tuning
- Automatic environmental compensation reduces nuisance alarms from dust, humidity, and temperature changes
- Self-diagnostics with bicolor LED for quick visual status during walkthroughs
- 10-year CO sensor life minimizes long-term service cost
System requirements
Requires a Kidde FX Series intelligent fire alarm control panel and a compatible KI Series mounting base (KI-SB standard, KI-IB isolator, KI-RB relay, or audible sounder bases for CO and fire tone patterns). Mounts to standard 4" square, 4" octagon, or 1-gang electrical boxes with 1.5" minimum depth.
