Kidde - Edwards KIR-OSHD Smoke Heat Detector

Product Description

The KIDDE - EDWARDS KIR-OSHD is an intelligent multicriteria smoke and heat detector designed for use in commercial fire alarm systems. It combines smoke sensing and heat detection in a single unit, providing dual-technology detection to reduce nuisance alarms while improving response to actual fire conditions. The KIR-OSHD is intended for installation by licensed fire alarm technicians and integrates with addressable fire alarm control panels. Its intelligent design allows the panel to process real-time data from the detector, supporting faster and more accurate alarm decisions.

The KIR-OSHD is suited for commercial and light industrial environments where both smoke and heat detection are required in the same coverage zone. Typical applications include office buildings, schools, healthcare facilities, and other occupancies governed by NFPA 72 requirements. It is sold as a single unit and is categorized as a multicriteria detector, making it appropriate for areas where environmental conditions could trigger false alarms from a single-technology device.
