KIDDE COMMERCIAL (K-RLED-C) LED ANN W/COM CONTROLS

The KIDDE COMMERCIAL K-RLED-C is a 16-pair LED remote zone annunciator with common controls. Specifically, it is the English-language model in the Kidde K-R Series.

First, the annunciator displays 16 zones with paired red (alarm) and yellow (trouble) LEDs. Then, the last four zones can be configured as alarm or supervisory via bicolor LEDs. As a result, one panel covers zone status across small to mid-sized buildings.

In addition, the K-RLED-C includes common-control buttons: Ack/Silence, Reset, Signal Silence, Drill, and Lamp Test. Furthermore, a separate remote key switch (RKEY, required) enables or disables those common controls.
