Kidde Edwards EGCVWF Ceiling Strobe White Fire Alarm

Product Description

The KIDDE EDWARDS EGCVWF is a ceiling-mounted strobe device designed for fire alarm notification systems. It produces a high-intensity visual alert intended to warn occupants of a fire or emergency condition. Ceiling strobes of this type are installed in commercial, institutional, and residential occupancies where audible-only notification is insufficient or where code requires visible signaling. Licensed fire alarm technicians and low-voltage electricians are the primary installers. The EGCVWF features a white housing suited for clean ceiling installations and is categorized as a fire alarm strobe within the Edwards signaling line.

This strobe is applied in fire alarm notification appliance circuits (NAC) where ceiling-mount visual devices are required. Typical installation locations include corridors, open office areas, classrooms, and common spaces in buildings subject to NFPA 72 requirements for visible notification. It is sold individually and is intended for professional installation as part of a listed fire alarm system.
