The D16L-FA is a 16-zone LED remote annunciator for Kidde FX-Series intelligent fire alarm control panels. It provides a remote display point for zone-level active and trouble status without a trip back to the main FACP - two LEDs per zone (active and trouble) for at-a-glance monitoring from lobbies, guard stations, or remote equipment rooms.

Built for the commercial fire installer

RS-485 communication over twisted pair keeps wiring simple - up to 4,000 feet from the panel using 18 to 14 AWG cable. Mounts semi-flush in a standard 4-inch square electrical box. UL, ULC, and FM listed for commercial fire alarm applications. Powered directly from the FACP at 24 VDC, no auxiliary power supply required.
