Kidde - Edwards 868STRB-AQ Industrial Blue Horn Strobe

Product Description

The KIDDE - EDWARDS 868STRB-AQ is an industrial blue horn strobe combination unit designed for use in commercial and industrial fire alarm and notification systems. It combines an audible horn with a visible blue strobe flash to deliver dual-mode alerting in demanding environments. The unit ships individually and is categorized as a sound and strobe signaling device. Licensed fire alarm technicians and electrical contractors typically handle installation as part of a broader notification appliance circuit.

This horn strobe is suited for commercial and industrial facilities where both audible and visual notification is required. Typical applications include warehouses, manufacturing floors, and other industrial environments where ambient noise levels or accessibility needs call for combined audible and visual alerting. The blue lens color may serve application-specific signaling requirements such as security or specialty notification zones distinct from standard red or amber fire alarm devices.
