The VS4-RE is a drop-in replacement electronics assembly for Kidde VS Series four-loop intelligent fire alarm control panels. When the main board fails or needs an upgrade, this assembly lets you swap the brains without replacing the entire panel enclosure, backbox, or field wiring - cutting downtime and job cost on a panel refresh.
Built for the fire alarm installer
Four SLC loops on a single board mean the replacement handles the same device capacity as the original. The assembly includes the full operator interface: LCD display, numeric keypad, and dedicated ALARM, TROUBLE, and DISABLE LED indicators. Mounts into the existing VS Series enclosure with no new door prep or backbox work.
Key features
- Board-level replacement: swap the electronics without disturbing field wiring, enclosure, or backbox
- Four SLC loops: maintains full device capacity of the original VS Series panel
- Complete operator interface: LCD display, full numeric keypad, ALARM/TROUBLE/DISABLE LEDs
- VS Series compatible: direct fit for existing Kidde VS Series four-loop enclosures
- Minimal downtime: existing SLC wiring, NAC circuits, and power connections stay in place during the swap
System requirements
Requires an existing Kidde VS Series four-loop fire alarm panel enclosure. Existing SLC loop wiring, NAC circuits, and power supply connections remain in place during the swap.
