Kidde Edwards CS405-8A-T Weatherproof Strobe 24VDC 110cd

Product Description

The KIDDE EDWARDS CS405-8A-T is a weatherproof strobe designed for fire alarm and life safety notification systems operating at 24 volts DC. Rated at 110 candela, it delivers a high-intensity visual alert suitable for harsh or outdoor environments where moisture, dust, or temperature extremes are present. Licensed fire alarm technicians and low-voltage system installers are the primary trades that specify and install this device. It is built to perform reliably in locations where standard indoor notification appliances are not rated for use.

This strobe is intended for outdoor or harsh-environment applications including covered walkways, loading docks, parking structures, manufacturing areas, and other locations exposed to weather or contaminants. It is commonly used in commercial and industrial fire alarm notification circuits where a high-candela visual signal is required to meet notification coverage requirements under NFPA 72 or applicable local codes. The weatherproof housing makes it appropriate where an IP-rated or similarly protected enclosure is required by the installing authority.
