The Kidde ANSDC8 adds eight supervised dry-contact input points to a Kidde intelligent fire alarm panel on a single SLC address. Each input has a dedicated red LED for at-a-glance status confirmation during commissioning and troubleshooting - no laptop required to verify which point triggered.
Built for the commercial installer
The ANSDC8 accepts normally-open dry contacts from third-party devices, relay outputs, flow switches, tamper contacts, and other field equipment that needs to report back to the FACP. Each of the eight inputs is independently programmable for message activation or control functions, so a single card can consolidate monitoring for an entire mechanical room or riser closet.
Key benefits
- 8 inputs on one SLC address: reduces wiring runs and conserves panel capacity compared to individual addressable modules
- Per-point red LED indication: confirms activation at the card without navigating panel menus
- Normally-open dry contact inputs: compatible with standard relay outputs, tamper switches, flow switches, and supervisory contacts
- Programmable per input: each point configurable independently for message activation or control functions
- Compact PCB form factor: mounts inside the panel enclosure or in a remote mounting box
System requirements
Requires a compatible Kidde intelligent fire alarm control panel with an available SLC circuit. Connects to the panel's Signaling Line Circuit for communication and power.
