Build your system

Pick a module. See what it does.

ModuLaser pairs one of three display modules with detector modules on a shared SenseNET network. Select a component to see its capacity and what it does.

Minimum display

The simplest ModuLaser display: status LEDs only, with the same detector modules and SenseNET network as the other variants.

  • Status LEDs only
  • Up to 8 detector modules
  • Zone alarms can reach the fire panel through an APIC address card
  • Same detector modules as every other display

Standard display

Adds a bright colour TFT display and navigation buttons for on-site status, programming and diagnostics.

  • Colour TFT display and status LEDs
  • Universal navigation and control buttons
  • Up to 8 detector modules
  • USB, IP and APIC on the display module

Command display

Everything in the Standard display, plus control of multiple modules across the SenseNET network from a single point.

  • All Standard display features
  • Controls modules over SenseNET
  • Up to 127 detector modules
  • RS-485 SenseNET and SenseNET+

Detector module

Separate, centrally controllable detector modules allow efficient piping and discrete zones with no overlap.

  • Docking-station design for easy group connection
  • Pipe and cable entry at top or bottom
  • Quick-fit pipe adaptor system
  • Up to 20, 40 or 50 sampling holes for Class A, B or C

Excellence APIC card

The addressable panel interface card plugs into the display module, so every detector in the cluster or on the SenseNET network reports to the Excellence fire panel on the addressable loop.

  • Ribbon cable connection, no hard wiring
  • Single display or command display mode
  • Address range set on the card
  • Simple addressing on the Excellence loop

Frequently asked questions

What is ModuLaser?

ModuLaser is a modular aspirating smoke detector with separate display and detector modules, for very early warning of fire in critical, large or complex spaces.

How much sampling pipe can a ModuLaser detector module take?

In EN versions, up to 250 m of sampling pipe per detector module, with up to 20, 40 or 50 sampling holes for Class A, B or C. UL versions have their own limits, and datasheets give the exact figures.

Where can I find the ModuLaser datasheet and installation manual?

Ask your Kidde Global Solutions contact or visit the product documents of the brand you buy through: AirSense, Kidde Commercial or Edwards. We can send you the right documents.
