The innovative Excellence series 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 Excellence series input/output devices are designed to provide much needed flexibility to input monitoring and output switching. These modules, combined with the powerful features of a Kidde Excellence series addressable CIE, give customers versatility for diverse applications.

The KE-IO3044 an Excellence series addressable 4 input/4 output unit. Powered directly from the Excellence loop, it offers 4 inputs with selectable line supervision and 4 magnetically latched relay outputs.

The KE-IO3044 is designed to monitor any potential free contacts, and independently switch outputs for control of equipment. Any normally open or normally closed contact may be selected to be supervised or unsupervised. Normal, open, passive, active or short circuit states on the input are reported back to the CIE where, depending on the programming, separate actions may be taken for any of these states. Every output is a magnetically latched relay providing a potential free change-over contact. The output relays do not require power in either the active or passive states, saving on overall loop loading.

The KE-IO3044 may be located anywhere on the Kidde Excellence loop where it occupies only 1 of 128 available addresses. Housed in a low profile molding, the interface is designed to clip directly onto a standard DIN rail fixing or be installed in a suitable wall mount housing.

The KE-IO3044 is connected to the CIE via a 2-wire communication loop that carries both power and control data. Tri-Colour LED indicators positioned on the front face of the unit provide the engineer with clear identification of the operational state of the unit, as well as the status of any input and/or output control. Additional manual test facilities on the unit allows local testing without the need for control panel intervention, saving time during installation and commissioning.

Excellence series devices use an advanced digital data communications protocol with extensive error correction algorithms to ensure system reliability.
