The Kidde VM-1S is a complete VM Series life safety control panel with a silver door. It ships ready to install for mid- to large-sized fire alarm applications.
Specifically, the VM-1S includes the VM-CPU main board, the VM-LCD user interface, one Signature signaling line circuit (SLC), and a PS10-4B universal 10 A power supply. In addition, four on-board Class B notification appliance circuits are pre-wired and ready for field connection.
The panel handles single-building jobs as easily as 24-panel networks of up to 24,000 points. Furthermore, optional voice evacuation, fiber networking, and Ethernet make the VM-1S a flexible mid-range platform.
