Description
Kidde R-Series Text Annunciators are high-performance remote annunciators that provide status indication and common controls for compatible fire alarm control panels. This family of devices offer LCD or LED annunciation. Models are available with and without common controls.
There are three R-Series annunciator models, plus an LED-based expander. Up to two expanders can be connected to any annunciator. The expander includes 24 pairs of LEDs that extend the capabilities of any of the annunciators.

R-Series annunciators and expanders are mounted on a standard 4-inch square electrical box, using the included mounting ring. They can also be surface mounted in locking steel enclosures. Three different enclosures are available.
A keyswitch and graphic annunciator interface is available for R-Series text annunciators applications. The keyswitch enables or disables common controls. The graphic annunciator interface cards supports 32 LEDs and 16 switches on the graphic panel display.
