Kidde - Edwards 869-AQ 24V Flush Mount Horn

Product Description

The KIDDE - EDWARDS 869-AQ is a flush mount audible horn designed for life safety and fire alarm signaling applications. Operating on 24 volts AC or DC, this device produces an audible alert signal and mounts flush to a standard electrical box for a clean, low-profile installation. It is a single-unit device intended for professional installation by licensed fire alarm or low-voltage contractors as part of a code-compliant notification system. The dual AC/DC compatibility makes it suitable for a range of panel and power supply configurations commonly found in commercial and residential fire alarm systems.

The 869-AQ is used in fire alarm and life safety notification systems where an audible warning device is required. It is appropriate for interior applications in commercial buildings, schools, healthcare facilities, and residential occupancies that require code-compliant audible signaling.
