The Kidde Evolve Series Replacement Main Board (EVOLVE-MB-RE) is a direct drop-in replacement for the main electronics assembly in Kidde Evolve intelligent fire alarm control panels. When a main board fails or needs upgrading, this swap gets the panel back online without replacing the entire enclosure, backplane, or field wiring.
Built for the fire alarm installer
Dual-voltage input (120/240 VAC) covers both standard commercial and industrial power configurations. The board ships with dual Ethernet ports (ETH0/ETH1) for network connectivity and redundancy, dual USB ports for programming and diagnostics, and four dedicated NAC AUX outputs for notification appliance circuits. Form C relay outputs for Alarm, Supervisory, and Trouble conditions provide clean signal handoff to building automation or central station monitoring. UL and ULC listed.
