Kidde Aries

The ARIES™ Fire Alarm/Suppression System Control Unit is a compact control unit that provides one signaling line circuit, four notification-appliance circuits, two releasing circuits, and four on-board relays. Two of the four notification-appliance circuits are user-configurable to actuate one solenoid valve for control of a special extinguishing system or a pre-action/deluge sprinkler system. A 5.4 Amp, filtered and regulated power supply provides charging capabilities for batteries up to 70 AH. The ARIES Control Unit annunciates alarm, trouble, and supervisory events via an 80-character, backlit LCD display with integral status LEDs. Event acknowledgment, alarm silence, and system reset are accomplished with dedicated control keys. Basic user and maintenance operations such as viewing history or isolation commands to initiating points and system outputs are per-formed via the control keys and associated digit keys. A security password prevents unauthorized access to the system.
