£295.97 (inc VAT: £355.16)
Summary
The Kidde Commercial SH-14-3201-0001-99 is an addressable wireless gateway designed to integrate a zone of SmartCell wireless fire alarm devices seamlessly into an Excellence series wired addressable fire alarm system. Rather than treating the wireless zone as a separate entity, the gateway allows each wireless device to be addressed and managed individually from the main control panel — delivering the same visibility, control, and system capabilities as directly wired devices on the loop.
The gateway houses a wireless transceiver managing up to 32 SmartCell devices, with an onboard LCD display and function buttons for local programming and diagnostics. Up to four gateways can be connected on a single fire alarm control panel loop, supporting up to 124 wireless devices in total. Automatic selection from 32 available wireless channels, combined with multipath technology and diversity transceivers, ensures a robust and reliable wireless link across the protected area.
The SH-14-3201-0001-99 is particularly well suited to installations where running cable is impractical — whether due to decorative finishes, listed buildings, or programme constraints — while still delivering a fully EN54-compliant addressable system. Compatible SmartCell devices include dual smoke/heat detectors, manual call points, sounders, sounder-beacons, input/output units, and door holders.

FAQs
What does the SH-14-3201-0001-99 wireless gateway do?
The SH-14-3201-0001-99 acts as a bridge between a zone of Kidde SmartCell wireless fire alarm devices and a wired Excellence series addressable fire alarm system. It allows wireless devices to be managed directly from the main control panel, with each device retaining its own unique address and providing the same system capabilities as a hardwired device on the loop.
How many wireless devices can each gateway support?
Each gateway can manage up to 32 wireless SmartCell devices. Where more wireless devices are required, up to four gateways can be connected on a single fire alarm control panel loop, providing coverage for up to 124 wireless devices in total.
Does the gateway require its own power supply?
No — the gateway is loop powered, drawing its operating power directly from the fire alarm loop at 17 to 29 VDC. No separate mains power connection is required, which simplifies installation.
How does the gateway handle wireless interference?
The gateway automatically selects from 32 available wireless channels in the 868–870 MHz band, minimising the risk of interference from other wireless systems. Multipath technology and diversity transceivers further improve signal robustness and maximise the operational range of connected devices.
Which fire alarm panels is the gateway compatible with?
The gateway is compatible with Excellence series addressable fire alarm systems. For full compatibility, the recommended minimum firmware and software versions are: 2X-AT Panel V5.5.23, SmartCell Devices V2.22, and Configuration Utility V5.5.0.6.
What types of wireless devices can be connected to the gateway?
The full SmartCell wireless range is compatible, including dual smoke/heat detectors, fire manual call points, red and white sounders, sounder-beacons with VAD red or white flash (wall and ceiling mounted), combined detector/sounder-beacon all-in-one devices, dual input/output units, and SmartDoor door holders in both white and black finishes.
Where is the gateway typically specified?
The gateway is most commonly specified where running cable is difficult or impractical — for example, in buildings with decorative or heritage finishes that cannot be disturbed, in temporarily occupied structures, or on projects where programme timescales make traditional wiring unfeasible. It gives the system designer the flexibility to mix hardwired and wireless devices on the same loop as required.
What standards and certifications does the gateway hold?
The gateway is certified to EN54-13, EN54-17, EN54-18, and EN54-25, and holds CPR certification. It also carries CE and UKCA markings, and complies with REACH, RoHS 3, and WEEE requirements.
