Kidde - Edwards EGCAVRN Ceiling Horn Strobe Red

Product Description

The KIDDE - EDWARDS EGCAVRN is a ceiling-mounted combination horn and strobe notification appliance designed for fire alarm systems. It delivers both audible and visual alerting in a single unit, reducing installation time and wiring runs compared to separate devices. The red housing meets common code requirements for visible fire alarm equipment. Licensed fire alarm technicians and low-voltage electricians install this type of device as part of a listed notification appliance circuit (NAC) within a commercial or residential fire alarm system.

This ceiling horn strobe is suited for interior spaces requiring simultaneous audible and visual notification, including offices, corridors, stairwells, and common areas. It is intended for use in standard ceiling-mount applications where a single device must serve both hearing-impaired and general-occupancy alerting requirements. Installation is governed by NFPA 72 and local fire codes, which specify placement height, candela ratings, and synchronization requirements for strobes in occupied spaces.

Key Features

• Combination horn and strobe in a single ceiling-mount unit
• Red housing for code-compliant visual identification as fire alarm equipment
• Reduces wiring runs by combining audible and visual output in one device
• Designed for connection to a standard NAC circuit
• Ceiling-mount form factor suits corridor and open-area applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation notification appliance for ceiling-mount fire alarm systems requiring a combined horn and strobe device on a supervised NAC circuit.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed fire alarm technician or low-voltage electrician in accordance with NFPA 72 and applicable local codes. De-energize and silence the NAC circuit at the fire alarm control panel before wiring or replacing any notification appliance. Verify polarity on the NAC wiring before restoring power, as reverse polarity can prevent device operation. After installation, perform a full system test to confirm audible and visual output meet the requirements of the authority having jurisdiction.
