Kidde - Edwards F-DACT1 Digital Alarm Communicator

Product Description

The KIDDE - EDWARDS F-DACT1 is a digital alarm communicator transmitter designed for use with compatible fire alarm control panels. This dialer and modem module operates on version 4.X firmware and enables the panel to transmit alarm, supervisory, and trouble signals over standard telephone lines to a central monitoring station. It serves as a critical communication link between the fire alarm system and off-site monitoring services. Licensed fire alarm technicians and low-voltage contractors are the primary installers of this device in commercial and residential fire protection applications.

The F-DACT1 is intended for installation within fire alarm control panel enclosures that support a plug-in or wired digital alarm communicator transmitter module.
