PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Kidde VM-1R Fire Alarm Control Panel
Description VM Series represents the latest generation of life safety control panels for mid to large sized applications. With large multi-mes sage displays, intuitive interfaces, and stylish contoured cabinets — these systems capture the imagination, and catch the eye. But behind the LCD display is where they really shine. New TCP/IP-enabled microprocessors and chipsets take full ad vantage of the latest advances in computing technology, leading to smarter, faster, higher-capacity processing and more efficient designs. VM Series’s patented Voltage Boost™ technology, for ex ample, delivers constant voltage on NAC and AUX circuits – even at low battery power – resulting in lighter cable requirements and/ or longer runs. That saves time and money. High performance processing also leads to powerful networking features and versatile digital audio functionality. In fact, VM Series can handle jobs that range from a single stand-alone control panel, to a sophisticated network comprising as many as 24 con trol panels processing data from up to 24,000 devices. High quality voice evacuation also delivers system design flexibil ity with scalable implementation from simple Place-of-Assembly capability right up to multi-channel operation for highrise and cam pus applications. VM Series features three channels of integrated digital audio. Its optional paging control center includes a high quality paging microphone to which can be added a firefighters’ telephone. VM Series makes all this new technology readily accessible with easy installation and maintenance. Electronic addressing means devices virtually install themselves, while intuitive installation and detailed diagnostic tools offer a clear and rapid path to flawless system operation.
