Overview
Kidde intelligent modules are engineered to deliver high-performance features, superb reliability, and unbeatable quality. From control of ancillary equipment, to enhanced signaling functionality, these products add flexibility and powerful options to Kidde intelligent systems.
Designed expressly for small buildings, Kidde modules are addressable devices that are uniquely identified on the system by means of familiar rotary switches. Once registered, they share data and update status information that determines how the system behaves and how connected devices interact with one another.
Unique to Kidde modules is ground fault detection so precise that it actually pinpoints the specific module where the wiring problem has occurred. This saves hours of troubleshooting and wire tracing. And only Kidde provides this important feature!
The Kidde family of intelligent modules also offers contractors and installers simple setup and installation, while delivering options that take full advantage of intelligent fire alarm processing. With a microprocessor in each device, intelligence is distributed throughout the system so that command decisions are made instantly at the individual module, rather than bottlenecking at the control panel.
This not only speeds event processing, it also makes a more robust and reliable system – so robust, in fact, that when upgrading from a conventional panel to a Kidde intelligent system, you can usually use existing wiring – no twisted or shielded cable required!

Dual Input Waterflow, Supervisory Module FX-IDCWS
The FX-IDCWS connects normally open waterflow alarm and supervisory initiating device circuits (IDCs) to the Kidde control panel. The FX-IDCWS is designed for Class B circuit operation.
The device address is set using the two rotary switches located on the front of the module. Two consecutive addresses are required. The second address is automatically assigned one number higher that the value set on the rotary switches.
The FX-IDCWS can operate in the following modes:
Waterflow
• Alarm latching delayed: Configures the module for use with only nonretarded waterflow alarm switches. When the NO input contact of an initiating device is closed, an alarm is sent to the control panel, which after a 16 second time delay, generates an alarm signal.
Supervisory
- Supervisory active nonlatching US marketplace
- Supervisory active latching Canadian marketplace
- • Nonlatching: Configures the module for normally open dry
- contact initiating devices. When the NO input contact of an initiating device is closed, a supervisory signal is sent to the control panel and the supervisory condition is not latched at the module.
- • Latching: Configures the module for normally open dry contact initiating devices. When the NO input contact of an initiating device is closed, a supervisory signal is sent to the control panel and the supervisory condition is not latched at the module.

NAC Module
The FX-NAC connects a supervised output circuit to a signal riser. The output wiring is monitored for open and short circuits. A short circuit causes the module to inhibit the activation of the audible/visual signal circuit so the riser is not connected to the wiring fault. Upon command from the control panel, the module connects the output circuit to the riser input. The output circuit energizes a riser to operate polarized audible and visual signals. The module can be used for connection of a Class A or Class B (with EOL) output notification appliance circuit (NAC).
The FX-NAC is configured to operate as a Genesis Audible/Visual/ Silence device type from the factory. It can also be configured for other device types through front panel programming or the configuration utility. Refer to the applicable control panel technical reference manual for a list of available device types.
Genesis Audible/Visual/Silence: Used with Genesis and Enhanced Integrity horns and strobes. Signals maintain synchronization per UL 1971. For Genesis devices, this configuration allows connected horns to be silenced while strobes on the same two-wire circuit continue to flash until the panel is reset.
