Kidde - Edwards BC-1R Battery Cabinet Red

Product Description

The KIDDE - EDWARDS BC-1R is a red battery cabinet designed to house and protect backup batteries used in fire alarm and life safety control systems. This cabinet provides secure, organized storage for battery arrays that keep fire control panels operational during power outages. Licensed fire alarm technicians and low-voltage contractors typically handle installation as part of a complete fire alarm system build-out or service upgrade. The red finish provides quick visual identification in compliance-sensitive environments where component identification matters.

The BC-1R is suited for commercial and light industrial fire alarm installations where a dedicated, protected enclosure is required for standby battery storage. It is used alongside fire alarm control panels and associated notification and detection equipment. This cabinet is sold as an individual unit and is categorized as a fire control accessory.
