The K-RLED-CR-2 is a red-housing 16-pair LED zone annunciator with common controls, giving a remote location per-zone alarm and trouble indication plus full common controls (Ack/Silence, Reset, Signal Silence, Drill, Lamp Test) without a text display to program or configure.
Built for the commercial fire installer
Where a job calls for zone-level status at a glance rather than scrolling text, the K-RLED-CR-2 covers 16 zones of alarm and trouble LEDs from one unit, in a red housing for clear fire alarm device identification. No programming required at the annunciator — set the network address with the on-board DIP switches and it inherits zone assignments from the panel. RS-485 wiring supports Class B, Redundant Class B, or Class A, and up to two expanders can be added per annunciator for 24 more zones each.
