KIDDE KE-DP3121B-SNV EXCELLENCE ADDRESSABLE ISOLATED DUAL BLACK OPTICAL/HEAT DETECTOR WITH SOUNDER & VAD

General

The innovative Excellence range of intelligent addressable devices offers advanced features for reliability and peace of mind. Coupled with features for ease of installation and maintenance on new fire detection systems, it’s a perfect match for exceptional overall performance.

The DP3121B-SNV is a Kidde Excellence series, graphite black addressable dual optical and heat detector with integrated short circuit isolation, sounder and VAD (Visual Alarm Device). It combines a low profile design with dual tri-colour status indication with 360° visibility. A remote indicator output is available to support a remote indicator up to 30 m away.

Detection reliability is ensured by combining dual optical wavelengths with multiple detection angles. This allows for state-of-the-art particle size detection that differentiates between real sources of alarm, or nuisance sources such as dust and steam. As a temperature detector, Class-A static and rate-of-rise modes are supported to further widen the application footprint.

Integrated notification

Every detector supports a freely programmable, audible and visual alarm device that can be independently controlled from the CIE. The sounder supports 32 alarm tones, each configurable at 4 alarm levels that allows complete customisation for the application and the alarm situation. The EN54-23 certified VAD offers 3 power ratings adding to full flexibility for management of loop loading on a system level.

User friendly

All detectors are individually identified by easily setting an address through 2, modern design rotary switches. The address is a directly identified number and does not require binary or hexadecimal conversions that significantly reduces the risk of incorrect addressing.

Installation & maintenance friendly

All Excellence series detectors are compatible with a standard base which makes installation planning seamless and detectors easily interchangeable. Self-testing and drift compensation ensure safe operation with contamination warnings provided when maintenance is needed.

Communication protocol

An enhanced protocol ensures the overall integrity and error-free operation of the system. The Excellence series protocol provides features like CRC error checking and multiple bus cycle codes to ensure reliability between panel and device communication. The Kidde Excellence protocol still support legacy 2000 series devices in combination with the Kidde Excellence series devices.
