KC-KC2-OS KIDDE CONVENTIONAL PHOTOELECTRIC SMOKE DETECTOR HEAD

Description

The KC2-OS Kidde Conventional Photoelectric Smoke Detector Head is a two-wire initiating device designed to detect the presence of smoke in conventional fire alarm systems. It uses an advanced photoelectric sensing chamber to discriminate between real smoke from fire and nuisance particles, providing reliable alarm initiation and status signaling to the control panel. The detector includes a tri-color LED indicator for alarm, trouble, and standby conditions and is intended for installation with a compatible detector base on a supervised initiating device circuit.
