Kidde Edwards 868STRA-AQ Horn Strobe Amber

Product Description

The KIDDE EDWARDS 868STRA-AQ is an amber horn strobe notification appliance designed for fire alarm and life safety systems. It combines an audible horn with a visible amber strobe light to deliver dual-mode alerting in a single device. This type of appliance is typically installed as part of a commercial or industrial fire alarm notification circuit, where both audible and visual signals are required by code. Licensed fire alarm technicians and low-voltage contractors are the primary installers. The amber lens distinguishes this unit from standard red or white strobes, making it suitable for specialized signaling applications where color-coded notification is specified.

The 868STRA-AQ is built for use in fire alarm notification systems requiring both audible and visual output from a single device. Amber horn strobes are commonly deployed in applications such as industrial facilities, warehouses, or specialty signaling zones where amber is the specified signal color. This device falls within the KIDDE EDWARDS line of life safety notification appliances, which are widely specified in commercial building fire alarm designs. Installation is performed by licensed fire alarm contractors in accordance with NFPA 72 and local authority having jurisdiction requirements.
