FAQs

What does this handset plug into?

It plugs into a standard fire alarm telephone jack on a compatible Kidde Commercial FACP or remote annunciator. The jack must be wired to the panel's telephone communication circuit.

Does this handset require its own power source?

No. The handset draws power through the telephone circuit from the fire alarm control panel. No separate power supply or batteries needed at the handset location.

Can this be used with non-Kidde fire alarm panels?

This handset is designed for Kidde Commercial fire alarm systems. Compatibility with other manufacturers' telephone circuits is not guaranteed. Check with the panel manufacturer before cross-platforming.

Does this include the wall-mount cradle?

Yes. The 6700-0061 ships with the wall-mount cradle (bracket) and coiled cord as a complete assembly.

Where should firefighter phone stations be located?

NFPA 72 and local AHJ requirements dictate placement. Common locations: near FACPs, remote annunciators, stairwells, building entrances, and elevator lobbies in high-rise applications. Consult NFPA 72 Chapter 24 and local codes.
