DESCRIPTION
The Kidde® AEGIS™-XLT is a Conventional Single Hazard
Agent Releasing Unit which provides advanced
configuration flexibility useful for Spurt, water mist cycling
and LP CO2 applications and is available in NEMA 1,
NEMA 4 and NEMA 12 variants for applications in
commercial and industrial environments.
The AEGIS-XLT is well equipped to handle all special
hazard extinguishing systems due to the high degree of
programming flexibility provided and the following full
complement of input and output circuits:
• Three (3) Class A or Class B Detection Circuits
• Two (2) Class A or Class B Supervisory Circuits
• Fourth Detection Circuit Option for Contact Closure
Devices*
• One (1) Class A or Class B Manual Release Circuit
• One (1) Class A or Class B Abort Input Circuit
• Three (3) Class A or Class B NACs
• Two (2) Class B Agent Release Circuits
• Option to Use NAC 1 Circuit as Third Release Circuit
• Three (3) Programmable and 1 Trouble Form-C
Relays
• *Fourth Detection Circuit must contain normally open contact
closure device (not 2-wire smoke detector).

Disable. The 3-digit display provides a countdown of
impending agent release. On command from the user
interface switches, it also indicates the battery open

SIMPLE SITE-SPECIFIC CONFIGURATION
Setting the site-specific configuration is easily done using
the digital display and user interface buttons. To prevent
unauthorized use, the configuration menu is protected by
a user-changeable password. Factory technical support
can provide assistance with lost or forgotten passwords.
Apart from the input voltage selection performed on both
the PSU and main board via a slider switch, no other on-
board settings or jumper cuttings are required.

EXTENSIVE DIAGNOSTICS
Also initiated via the digital display and user interface
switches, the troubleshooting function displays diagnostic AEGIS-XLT (NEMA 4)

easy reference.

BACKWARDS COMPATIBILITY
The AEGIS-XLT is backwards compatible and listed for
use with a full range of conventional detectors and alarm
devices as well as suppression accessories from Kidde,
Fenwal and Chemetron. Going forward, this will allow
legacy panels to be replaced with relative ease.

EASY TO INSTALL NEMA 1 CABINET

The NEMA 1 cabinet design allows for easy installation
by fitting between the studs of a standard 16-inch
studded wall. It is large enough to house two 12 VDC, 12
AH batteries and provides up to 2 inches (51 mm) of
wiring and finger space between the circuit board and the
cabinet wall.
The NEMA 1 cabinet options include a flush mounting
trim-ring and a dead-front plate (ordered separately). AEGIS-XLT (NEMA 12)
