ARIES®-SLX Intelligent Single-Loop Suppression Control Unit
Intelligent, Addressable Control for Single-Loop Suppression Applications
The ARIES®-SLX Intelligent Single-Loop Suppression Control Unit is a compact, addressable, and networkable fire alarm–suppression control platform designed for special hazard applications requiring intelligent detection, reliable releasing, and scalable system coordination.
Designed and manufactured by Kidde Fire Systems, ARIES®-SLX delivers advanced command and control for clean agent, carbon dioxide, dry chemical, wet chemical, and water-based suppression systems. Built with proven safeguards against unintended discharge and engineered for versatility at an attractive price point, ARIES®-SLX provides dependable performance where precision and reliability matter most.
Key Advantages
- Intelligent, Addressable Single-Loop Control
Supports one (1) Signaling Line Circuit (SLC) with up to 255 addressable devices, with no device-type restrictions, enabling precise identification, control, and annunciation across suppression and detection components. - Triple-R™ Redundancy Protection
Kidde Fire Systems’ proven Triple-R (triple redundancy) safeguard ensures that no single component failure or abnormal operating condition—including main microprocessor failure—can result in unintended agent release. - Broad Suppression Compatibility
Approved for releasing a wide range of Kidde Fire Systems suppression platforms, including clean agent, CO₂, dry chemical, wet chemical, and water-based systems.
- Peer-to-Peer Networking
Supports peer-to-peer networking of up to 32 control units, allowing coordinated system operation across multiple hazards or zones. - Compact, Integrated Design
Features a compact enclosure with an integrated 5 A power supply, reducing installation footprint while maintaining full suppression control capability. - Remote Monitoring Ready
Fully compatible with IntelliSite™ Remote Monitoring, enabling real-time system visibility, event notifications, and remote diagnostics.
