Kidde Edwards 116DEGEXA-FJ Hazardous Location Strobe

Product Description

The KIDDE EDWARDS 116DEGEXA-FJ is a hazardous location strobe designed for use in environments where explosive or flammable atmospheres may be present. Operating on 16 to 33 volts DC, this unit produces a high-visibility amber strobe signal suited for alerting personnel in demanding industrial and commercial settings. The amber lens is factory-installed and provides a distinct visual warning output. Installation and service of this device is typically performed by licensed electricians or fire alarm technicians familiar with hazardous location electrical codes and NEC Article 500 requirements.

This strobe is intended for use in classified hazardous locations where standard notification appliances are not rated for safe installation. Typical applications include petrochemical facilities, grain handling operations, paint spray booths, and other environments classified under NEC Group G dust or similar hazardous area designations. The 16 to 33 volt DC operating range allows compatibility with a range of fire alarm and industrial notification control panels commonly found in these facilities.
