Description

Overview

Kidde D12LS-VM Front Panel Annunciator was designed with leading edge computing power, yet it is still highly flexible. It can be used in a simple, single building as a standalone system and can also be part of a network with thousands of points across multiple buildings. Unlike other mid-range systems, it has an optional voice evacuation function making it a cost-effective solution for multiple applications.

Efficient, cost-effective networking

The Kidde D12LS-VM Front Panel Annunciator network can comprise up to 8 control panels – enough to serve the needs of most campuses and larger buildings. Highly ef­ficient RS485 connectivity, plus fiber-optic communications deliver faster response times and more sophisticated diagnostic capabili­ties, while remote annunciation solutions keep basic monitoring and control always within reach.

Audio that speaks for itself

Kidde D12LS-VM features 3 channels of inte­grated digital audio with up to 2 minutes of programmable message storage. An optional paging control center includes a paging microphone which can be added as a firefighters’ telephone. Auxiliary inputs are available for mass notification operations and connection to external systems.

Versatility built right in

The control panel has room for 3 fully programmable front panel switch/LED strips. Each strip includes 12 switches with 2 associated LEDs (one quad-color, and one yellow), and a custom label area. LED color designations can be assigned by the installer.

Perfect for retrofits

This unit is particularly well-suited to retrofit applications. All connections are made over standard wiring – no shielded cable required. This means that existing wiring can be used to upgrade a legacy control panel to D12LS-VM technology without the expense or disruption of rewiring the entire building.

Clear-cut remote annunciation

Up to 30 R-Series LCD, LED annuncia­tors and driver interface cards may be configured for each control panel on the D12LS-VM network. Compatible annunciators include a range of LED and LCD models that provide zone or point annunciation, as well as common control capabilities. Kidde D12LS-VM also sup­ports graphic annunciation with optional graphic annunciator interface modules. Each interface provides common control, indicators, and 32 LEDS. Expansion units pro­vide 48 led outputs.

Power that goes the distance

Edward’s patented Voltage Boost™ technology delivers constant 22.5 Vdc on NAC and AUX circuits – even at low battery power. This means lighter gauge cable can be used for equivalent distanc­es compared with conventional power supplies, or longer wire runs on the same gauge cable. Either way, this breakthrough technology saves time and equipment costs, making the D12LS-VM not only a high-performance solution — but a cost-effective one as well.
