The VM-SLCXB adds SLC loop capacity to Kidde VS-Series fire alarm control panels without swapping the main board. It ships with one VM-SLC signaling line circuit card preinstalled and accepts a second VM-SLC card (ordered separately) for a total of two additional device loops supporting V-Series detectors and GSA modules.

Built for the commercial installer

Each loop supports Class A or Class B wiring configurations, giving you the flexibility to match the site's existing riser topology. Power-limited circuits keep the install within code requirements. Assembled in the USA.

Key features

  • Adds up to two SLC loops: each configurable as Class A or Class B for V-Series detectors and GSA modules
  • One VM-SLC card preinstalled - second loop requires an additional VM-SLC card ordered separately
  • Power-limited circuits for code-compliant installations
  • Drop-in installation inside existing VS-Series fire alarm control panels
  • Assembled in the USA

System requirements

Requires a compatible Kidde VS-Series intelligent fire alarm control panel (VS1, VS4, or equivalent). The expansion board installs directly into the panel enclosure and connects to the panel's SLC bus.

FAQs

How many SLC loops does the VM-SLCXB add?
Up to two additional SLC loops. One VM-SLC signaling line circuit card comes preinstalled. A second VM-SLC card can be ordered separately and added to the board for the second loop.
Does the VM-SLCXB support Class A wiring?
Yes. Each loop can be configured as either Class A or Class B, depending on the site's riser design and code requirements.
What panels is the VM-SLCXB compatible with?
The VM-SLCXB is designed for Kidde VS-Series intelligent fire alarm control panels (VS1, VS4, and equivalent models). It installs directly inside the panel enclosure.
What devices can connect to the VM-SLCXB loops?
The expansion loops support Kidde V-Series intelligent detectors and GSA (General Signal Addressable) modules - the same device families used on the panel's built-in SLC loops.
