The Kidde KE-DP3021B is an intelligent addressable dual optical/heat multisensor detector from the Kidde Excellence Series, finished in graphite black. It combines forward and backward optical light scatter with heat sensing, with 11 selectable alarm levels, and fits the Excellence Series standard base. It is designed for Kidde Commercial Excellence fire systems and is certified to EN 54-5, EN 54-7 and EN 54-29.
