Kidde - Edwards BC-1 Battery Cabinet Fire Control

Product Description

The KIDDE - EDWARDS BC-1 is a battery cabinet designed for use with fire alarm and fire control systems. It provides a dedicated, protected enclosure for backup batteries that keep fire detection and notification equipment operational during a power outage. The cabinet is built to house the standby power supply components required by life-safety system installations. Licensed fire alarm technicians and system integrators are the primary installers of this unit in both new construction and retrofit applications.

The BC-1 is used in commercial and institutional fire alarm system installations where backup battery storage must be housed in a separate, dedicated enclosure outside of the main fire alarm control panel. Typical applications include larger fire alarm systems that require additional battery capacity beyond what the main panel can internally accommodate. It is sold as a single unit.
