KD-6830-6A-4

The Kidde 6830-6A-4 is a permanent remote fire alarm telephone handset station built for firefighter voice communication systems. A 4-state red push-to-talk button and 5-foot armored cable provide a durable, always-ready communication point at remote locations throughout a building.

Built for the fire alarm installer

This handset station connects to Kidde fire alarm control panels equipped with telephone communication modules, providing permanent firefighter phone stations at stairwells, elevator lobbies, command centers, and other strategic locations required by code. The red housing and push-to-talk operation align with NFPA 72 firefighter telephone requirements. The 5-foot armored cable resists physical damage and abuse in demanding environments where exposed wiring won't survive.
