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-IO3101-M is an Excellence series addressable mains relay unit with integrated short circuit loop isolation. Powered directly from the Excellence loop, it offers double pole, potential free, change-over relay contacts.

The KE-IO3101-M is designed for controlling the main electrical supply of ancillary, mains powered equipment. The unit is ideal for the control of door release circuits, extract fans and dampers. The relay may be programmed to be activated by any single device, groups of devices or all system devices. All types of system input signals can be arranged to operate the KE-IO3101-M which can include control panel indicators, zonal outputs, call points or detectors. Both normally closed and normally open relay connections are provided, which if wired incorrectly, can simply be reconfigured in the programming of the unit.

The KE-IO3101-M 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. It is intended for installation for installation inside the equipment to be switched, thereby offering savings in installation costs

The KE-IO3101-M 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.
