Initiating Devices
Kidde brand analog addressable detectors are meticulously engineered
to deliver high-perfor mance features, superb reliability, and unbeatable
quality. With their highly stable design, these detectors resist air movement
caused by heating and air conditioning, making them reliable performers
ideally suited to modern building interiors.
The installation and maintenance advantages of Kidde brand analog ad-
dressable detectors add value throughout their service life. The twist-and-
lock design makes short work of installation and maintenance opera tions.
A plastic breakout on the detector housing optionally pre vents removal
from the base except with a special tool.
A bright, easy-to-see LED flashes red when the detector is in alarm, thus
eliminating much of the guesswork when responding to front-panel indica-
tions.
VM Series Device loop
VM Series control panels provide one device loop circuit that supports
125 detectors and 125 module addresses. The VM panel may support a
second, third or fourth loop by means of the appropriate number of VM-
SLC loop expansion modules and VM-SLCXB expander modules. All
loop circuits are supervised for opens, shorts, and grounds.

Kidde heat and smoke detectors comprehensive self-diagnostic capabil-
ity. The KI-PD, KI-PCD, and KI-PHD optical detectors continuously adjust
their sensitivity to compensate for changes in the environment such as the
presence of dirt, smoke, temperature, and humidity. These detectors issue
a dirty sensor warning when they reach their preset limit.
The DI-PCD detector, with its on-board CO sensor,
pulls double-duty — continuously monitoring the
environment for signs of smoke, as well as its invis-
ible yet deadly companion, carbon monoxide.
