The Kidde KC-TAMPER monitors fire alarm panel enclosures for unauthorized access. When the cabinet door opens, the spring-loaded plunger releases and reports a supervisory condition to the FACP - giving central station operators a tamper signal without a separate zone module or extra wiring.
Built for the fire alarm installer
Part of Kidde's Evolve Series, the KC-TAMPER mounts inside panel cabinets and junction boxes with standard hardware. The normally closed contact wires directly to any FACP supervisory input, keeping the install simple and code-compliant for NFPA 72 tamper supervision requirements.
Key features
- Supervisory zone monitoring: normally closed contact reports tamper when the enclosure door opens
- Universal FACP compatibility: wires to any fire alarm control panel supervisory input
- Simple mechanical operation: spring-loaded plunger activates on door open, auto-resets on close
- Compact form factor: fits inside standard fire alarm panel cabinets and enclosures
- Evolve Series integration: part of the Kidde Evolve ecosystem for streamlined fire alarm installations
Where it goes
Install inside any fire alarm panel cabinet, NAC power supply enclosure, or auxiliary equipment box that requires tamper supervision per NFPA 72 or local AHJ requirements. The plunger contacts the enclosure door and breaks the supervisory circuit when the door is opened.
