The SD-2WPCB drops a fresh sensor board into an existing Kidde KC2 series conventional 2-wire smoke detector housing. The base stays on the ceiling, the loop wiring stays terminated, and the detector is back in service in minutes - no full unit replacement, no drywall patches, no panel reprogramming.
Built for the service call, not the new install
When a conventional 2-wire detector fails a sensitivity test or ages out of compliance, pulling the whole unit is overkill if the base and wiring are still good. This PCB kit replaces just the sensing element and circuit board. It ships with two wire harness connectors for a clean, secure connection to the existing housing. Compatible with Kidde KC2 series conventional detector housings operating on standard 2-wire alarm loops (15-32 VDC).
Key benefits
- Drop-in PCB swap: replace the sensor board without pulling the base or disturbing loop wiring
- Cuts service call time: sensor replacement in minutes versus a full detector changeout
- No panel reprogramming: the detector address and zone assignment stay intact
- Includes wire harness connectors: everything needed for a clean reconnection to the housing
- Cost-effective maintenance: extend the service life of installed detectors without full unit cost
Compatibility
Designed for Kidde KC2 series conventional 2-wire smoke detector housings. Verify the installed detector model number before ordering to confirm PCB compatibility. Contact your SS&Si rep for cross-reference help.
