The Kidde FX-64R-2 is a compact intelligent fire alarm control panel built for single-loop commercial jobs where a full-size FACP is overkill. One SLC loop handles up to 64 addressable points - detectors, modules, pull stations, whatever the job calls for - and two built-in NAC circuits drive notification appliances without an external booster on smaller systems.
Built for the commercial installer
The FX-64 runs on 230 VAC (50-60 Hz), making it the right pick for international or dual-voltage sites. The SLC loop supports Class B or Class A wiring (Styles 4, 6, and 7) to match the AHJ's requirements without extra hardware. NAC circuits ship as Class B (Style Y) with an optional Class A (Style Z) upgrade. Programming happens through the front panel keypad and LCD or via the FX-CU configuration utility over USB.
Up to 8 remote annunciator drops connect over RS-485 with runs up to 4,000 ft., covering large footprint buildings from a single panel location. Optional SA-DACT2 dialer, SA-ETH Ethernet, and SA-FSB Field Server Bridge modules add phone line reporting, IP communication, and BACnet/Modbus integration for BMS tie-ins.
Key features
- 64 addressable points on one SLC loop - handles small-to-midsize commercial occupancies without needing a multi-loop panel
- Two built-in NAC circuits totaling 3.0 A FWR at 230 VAC (50 Hz), each circuit rated up to 2.5 A
- Class B or Class A SLC wiring (Styles 4, 6, 7) - configure to the AHJ's code requirements
- 230 VAC primary power (50-60 Hz) for international and dual-voltage installations
- Surface mount red enclosure with room for two 10 Ah sealed lead acid batteries inside the cabinet
- Up to 8 remote annunciator drops via RS-485, max 4,000 ft. data line run
- Optional communication modules: DACT dialer, Ethernet/IP, and BACnet/Modbus Field Server Bridge
System requirements
The FX-64R-2 works with Kidde intelligent SLC devices including the Optica detector line, intelligent pull stations, and addressable I/O modules. Requires 230 VAC primary power and 24 VDC sealed lead acid batteries for standby. Larger battery configurations require a separate Kidde BC-1 or BC-1R battery cabinet.
