Kidde | Analog Addressable NAC Output Module for FX-Series Fire Alarm Panels | FX-NAC

The FX-NAC adds a supervised Notification Appliance Circuit output to any Kidde FX-Series fire alarm panel over the SLC loop. One module, one address, one pair of wires back to the panel - and you get a fully supervised 24 VDC output rated at 2 amps to drive horns, strobes, and horn-strobes anywhere the riser reaches.

Built for the commercial fire alarm installer

Mounts in a standard 4-inch square electrical box (2-1/2 in. deep or 1-1/2 in. deep with a 2-gang plate). Wiring accepts 12 to 18 AWG, with 16 and 18 AWG preferred. Supports both Class A and Class B output configurations (Class B uses a 47 k UL-listed EOL resistor), so you match the circuit supervision to the job's code requirements without swapping hardware.

Key features

• Supervised NAC output: monitors output wiring for open and short circuits - inhibits activation on faulted wiring to protect the riser
• Genesis synchronization: maintains horn and strobe synchronization per UL 1971 for Genesis and Enhanced Integrity notification appliances
• Selective silence: for Genesis devices, connected horns can be silenced while strobes on the same two-wire circuit continue to flash until the panel resets
• Class A or Class B operation: configure to meet local code requirements without changing hardware
• Rotary addressing: set the SLC address with the onboard rotary switch, no programming tool required at the device
• Standard box mounting: fits 4 in. square electrical boxes, no proprietary enclosures needed

System requirements

Requires a Kidde FX-Series analog addressable fire alarm control panel. The module communicates on the SLC (Signaling Line Circuit) loop, consuming one address. Address range is 01-64 on 64-point panels or 01-127 on 1000-point panels.
