The Kidde VS1-RE is a complete replacement electronics assembly for the VS Series one-loop intelligent fire alarm control panel. When the original board fails, this drop-in replacement reuses the existing VS Series enclosure and field wiring - no new cabinet, no re-pull, no full panel swap.
Built for the fire alarm installer
The VS1-RE ships as a ready-to-install assembly with the full VS Series front panel interface: LCD display, numeric keypad, and system status indicators for ALARM, TROUBLE, and DISABLE. One SLC loop supports the same addressable device population as the original VS1 panel. English-language interface throughout.
Key benefits
- Drop-in replacement: reuses the existing VS Series enclosure, backbox, and field wiring
- Full front panel interface: LCD display, numeric keypad, ALARM/TROUBLE/DISABLE indicators, and system control buttons
- One SLC loop: supports the same addressable device load as the original VS1 panel
- Faster repair than full panel replacement: swap the electronics and restore the system without pulling new wire
What's included
