Class A-B Two-Wire Module FX-2WIRE
Kidde intelligent modules are engineered to deliver high-performance features, superb reliability ⭐
✅ and unbeatable quality. 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 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 a conventional panel to a Kidde intelligent system, you can usually use existing wiring – no twisted or shielded cable required!
Standard Features

Installation
Mount in a North American 4 inch square x 2-1/2 in. (64 mm) deep 2 gang box or a standard 4 in. square box 1-1/2 in. (38 mm) deep.
Class A-B Two-Wire Module FX-2WIRE
- The FX-2WIRE module interfaces between conventional two-wire smoke detectors and the Kidde control panel. It monitors the circuit and smoke detectors, and signals the control panel of any trouble or alarm conditions. The module also regulates and supervises the 24 VDC input power.
- The FX-2WIRE is configured to operate as a two-wire alarm device that does not require alarm verification. It can be set for two-wire alarm verified operation through front panel programming or the configuration utility. When using the alarm verification feature of the control panel, do not mix normally open contact initiating devices with two-wire conventional smoke detectors.
- This module recognizes the CleanMe signal detectors that support this feature.
- The device address is set using the two rotary switches located on the front of the module. One device address is required.
The FX-2WIRE can be set for Class B or Class A operation using the slide switch located on the front of the module.
