Kidde Edwards EGCVHWF Ceiling Strobe 135-185cd White

Product Description

The KIDDE EDWARDS EGCVHWF is a ceiling-mount visual notification appliance designed for fire alarm and life-safety systems. It produces a high-intensity strobe output rated at 135 to 185 candela (cd), delivering broad coverage in spaces where audible-only alerts are insufficient or code-prohibited. The unit mounts directly to a standard ceiling electrical box and integrates into conventional and addressable fire alarm control panel (FACP) circuits. Licensed fire alarm technicians and low-voltage electricians are the primary installers. Its white housing blends into typical commercial ceiling finishes while meeting the visibility demands of NFPA 72 notification appliance requirements.

The EGCVHWF is suited for commercial and institutional applications including offices, schools, healthcare facilities, and public assembly spaces where ADA-compliant visual notification is required. It is intended for indoor ceiling installations and is commonly deployed in corridors, classrooms, and open work areas where strobe-only or combined audible-strobe coverage is specified by the fire alarm system designer. Installation is governed by the project drawings and the authority having jurisdiction (AHJ).

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed fire alarm technician or low-voltage electrician in accordance with NFPA 72 and all applicable local codes. De-energize and silence the fire alarm control panel circuit before connecting or disconnecting the device. Verify that the supply voltage and current draw are within the FACP notification appliance circuit (NAC) ratings before commissioning. Coordinate mounting height and placement with the system designer to meet spacing requirements defined in NFPA 72 Chapter 18.
