Kidde 4 Zone Conventional Fire Alarm Control Panel (NC-PF4)

The Kidde Commercial NC-PF4 is a 4-zone conventional fire alarm control panel from the NC series, designed as an uncomplicated solution for small to mid-sized conventional applications. Each zone supports up to 32 conventional devices, and the panel provides supervised sounder and fire routing outputs, common fire and fault relays and two configurable inputs.

Its clean, contemporary grey housing and icon-based user interface mean no language kit inserts are needed, and default regional set-up modes keep commissioning quick. Panels can be networked for systems of up to 64 zones.

Key features

• 4 conventional zones, up to 32 devices per zone
• Normal, head-out and intrinsically safe zone support
• Up to 4 supervised relay outputs for sounder control and fire routing
• EN 54 compliant potential-free common fire and fault relays
• 2 user-configurable inputs for monitoring and control
• Class change, day/night, remote reset, extended fire routing delay and fire routing inhibit delay facilities
• Auxiliary 24 VDC supply output with reset support
• EN 54 compliant user access levels, mixed zones, full front-panel diagnostics, one-man walk test and CleanMe support
• Optional auxiliary boards with 4 standard or 4 supervised relays add up to 8 further outputs
• Networkable up to 64 zones; easily removable parts for quick, clean installation
