The FX-IDCWS connects normally open waterflow alarm and supervisory initiating device circuits (IDCs) to the Kidde control panel.
The FX-IDCWS is designed for Class B circuit operation.

The device address is set using the two rotary switches located on the front of the module. Two consecutive addresses are required.
The second address is automatically assigned one number higher that the value set on the rotary switches.

The FX-IDCWS can operate in the following modes:

Waterflow

• Alarm latching delayed: Configures the module for use with only nonretarded waterflow alarm switches. When the NO input contact of an initiating device is closed, an alarm is sent to the control panel, which after a 16 second time delay, generates an alarm signal.

Supervisory

• Supervisory active non-latching US marketplace
• Supervisory active latching Canadian marketplace
• Non-latching: Configures the module for normally open dry contact initiating devices. When the NO input contact of an initiating device is closed, a supervisory signal is sent to the control panel and the supervisory condition is not latched at the module.
• Latching: Configures the module for normally open dry contact initiating devices. When the NO input contact of an initiating device is closed, a supervisory signal is sent to the control panel and the supervisory condition is not latched at the module.
