The Kidde Intelligent Optica KIR-OSHCD puts three sensing technologies into a single rotary-addressed head: dual-optical photoelectric smoke detection (forward and backward scatter), fixed-temperature heat at 135°F, and electrochemical CO. One device, one SLC address, three layers of protection - and fewer heads on the ceiling means fewer wire runs and faster rough-ins on commercial jobs.
Built for the commercial fire installer
The Optica platform uses dual scatter angles to distinguish real combustion products from nuisance sources like cooking or dust, cutting false alarm callbacks. Loop-powered at 15-32 VDC off the SLC, no aux power supply needed. Rotary address switches (01-159) set directly on the head - no laptop required for addressing. Drift compensation and CleanMe maintenance alerts keep the detector within spec between service visits. UL and ULC listed across all three sensing modes.
Key features
- Three sensors, one address: photoelectric smoke, 135°F fixed heat, and electrochemical CO in a single detector head
- Dual-optical Optica sensing reduces nuisance alarms from non-fire aerosols
- Rotary addressing (01-159) - set at the device, no programming tool needed
- SLC loop-powered (15-32 VDC) - no auxiliary power runs to the device
- CleanMe and drift compensation extend service intervals and flag maintenance before trouble
- Drop-in base compatibility: standard KIB-R base, plus audible (KIB-RA), relay (KIB-RR), and sounder (KIB-RAS/RIS) options
System requirements
Requires a Kidde intelligent FACP with SLC loop capacity. Compatible panels include the FX-350 Series, IFP-300/300ECO, IFP-100/100ECO, IFP-2100/2100ECO, IFP-1010, IFP-2000, and IFP-1000. Mounts on standard North American 4-inch square or single-gang back boxes.
