The Kidde Commercial EXCELLENCE series is always evolving and its new expansion has local market needs in mind, as the company explains here.
“Across EMEA, fire detection requirements continue to evolve, shaped by local regulations, market expectations, installation practices, and customer needs.
“The EXCELLENCE Series has been designed to respond to this reality, combining the strength of global innovation with the flexibility required to support different regional applications.
“With every portfolio expansion, EXCELLENCE Series reinforces Kidde Commercial’s commitment to continuous innovation and locally relevant solutions.
“More than a product range, it is an evolving platform built to help consultants, specifiers, installers, and end users meet today’s requirements while preparing for tomorrow’s challenges.
“At Kidde Commercial, innovation is not a one-time event. It is a continuous commitment. The EXCELLENCE Series was created with a clear vision: to provide advanced fire detection solutions that evolve alongside the needs of the market, the challenges of modern installations, and the expectations of our customers.
“As technologies advance, regulations develop, and applications become more demanding, the EXCELLENCE Series continues to grow. New features, devices, and capabilities are regularly introduced to ensure the portfolio remains at the forefront of fire detection and life safety innovation.
“Today, Kidde Commercial is proud to announce the latest expansion of the EXCELLENCE Series, introducing new Input/Output Control Units and additional Notification Device options. These latest additions further strengthen the EXCELLENCE ecosystem, delivering greater flexibility, enhanced functionality, and more choice for customers across different markets and applications.
New EXCELLENCE Series Input/Output Control Units
“The latest expansion of the EXCELLENCE Series Input/Output range introduces new device variants designed to provide greater installation flexibility and enhanced system performance.
“New isolated and non-isolated versions are now available, giving system designers and installers more choice while maintaining full compatibility across the EXCELLENCE platform. Where short-circuit isolation is not required, non-isolated devices offer a simpler and more cost-effective solution.
“The range has also been expanded with a new High-Speed Priority Input Unit, available with and without isolation, enabling faster response for applications where emergency inputs require prioritisation.
“In addition, the existing Single Output Unit now supports Fail-to-Safe functionality for emergency exit applications, helping to meet EN14637 and BS7273 requirements.
New Notification Devices
“The EXCELLENCE Series Notification Device range has also grown with the introduction of new White Flash visual alarm notification devices.
“This addition provides greater flexibility for projects where white visual alarm notification is preferred, while complementing the existing portfolio of audible, visual, and combined notification devices. The result is more choice for consultants, specifiers, installers, and end users looking to combine performance, compliance, and aesthetics.
“With these latest additions, the EXCELLENCE Series continues to demonstrate how global innovation can be adapted to local market needs, helping customers address specific requirements without compromising on performance, compatibility, or system integrity.
