Product Description

The KIDDE EDWARDS 869STRB-AQ is a combination horn and strobe notification appliance featuring a blue strobe lens. Designed for life safety and fire alarm systems, it provides both audible and visible alert signals in a single unit. The blue strobe designation identifies it for use in specific notification zones where color-coded visual signaling is required by system design or code. This device is installed by licensed fire alarm technicians and electrical contractors as part of a compliant notification appliance circuit.

The 869STRB-AQ is suited for commercial and institutional fire alarm installations where audible and visual notification is required.
