Intelligence and Scalability for Every Building
Every building, regardless of its size, deserves a fire detection system that is intelligent, fast, and precise. Kidde delivers with the Kidde VS Series, a powerful line of addressable Fire Alarm Control Panels (FACPs) specifically designed to bring advanced protection to small and mid-sized commercial buildings.
With its ease of use and scalable options, the VS Series is the ideal solution that balances sophistication with cost-effectiveness.
Kidde VS Series Addressable Intelligence: Know the Exact Fire Location
The core strength of the VS Series is its addressable technology. Every device connected to the panel—whether a smoke detector, heat detector, or manual call point—has its own unique “address.” When an alarm occurs, the panel displays the precise location of the activated device. This allows first responders to go directly to the source of the fire without wasting precious time searching a broad “zone.”
Scalability for Every Need: Kidde VS Series VS1 and VS4
The Kidde VS Series understands that every building has different needs, which is why it comes in two primary models:
- Kidde VS1: A single-loop panel that is ideal for small-scale applications, such as retail stores, clinics, restaurants, or small office buildings. It can support up to 250 addressable devices.
- Kidde VS4: A larger, four-loop panel perfect for mid-sized facilities like schools, hotels, apartment buildings, or larger offices. It can support up to 1,000 addressable devices.
Furthermore, multiple VS Series panels can be networked together to protect larger facilities or campus-style complexes.
Kidde VS Series Designed for Ease of Installation and Use
- Auto-programming: One of the standout features of the VS Series is its ability to automatically detect and map all connected devices on the loop. This feature drastically reduces the time and complexity of installation and commissioning.
- Intuitive Interface: Equipped with a large LCD display and clear function buttons (Reset, Alarm Silence, Drill), making operation and system status checks easy for building personnel.
- Backward Compatibility: With a special interface module, the VS panel can support older conventional detectors, making it an excellent upgrade choice for existing systems.

As a life-safety system, the entire Kidde VS Series is tested and certified to stringent international standards, including UL, ULC, and FM.In conclusion, the Kidde VS Series is a powerful and intelligent fire alarm solution. By bringing all the benefits of addressable technology into an easy-to-use and scalable platform, it delivers affordable, top-tier protection for a wide range of buildings.
