Kidde Edwards EWGAVRF Outdoor Horn Strobe Fire Alarm

Product Description

The KIDDE EDWARDS EWGAVRF is an outdoor-rated combination horn and strobe unit designed for fire alarm notification systems. It delivers a candela output range of 15 to 30 cd, providing both audible and visual alerts in demanding outdoor environments. Built with a red housing to meet standard fire alarm color coding, this device serves as a field-notification appliance on addressable or conventional fire alarm control panels. Licensed fire alarm technicians and low-voltage contractors are the primary installers. The unit is sold individually and is suited for applications where both sound and light output are required to meet code-compliant life safety notification requirements.

The EWGAVRF is intended for outdoor installation in commercial and industrial fire alarm notification systems. Its combination horn-strobe design satisfies simultaneous audible and visual notification requirements under NFPA 72 and ADA-aligned visual signaling standards. Typical deployment includes building perimeters, parking structures, loading docks, and other exterior locations where interior-only devices are insufficient. The red finish is consistent with standard fire alarm appliance identification practices across commercial facilities.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed fire alarm technician or low-voltage contractor in accordance with NFPA 72 and applicable local codes. De-energize the fire alarm control panel and notify the monitoring station before beginning any work on the notification appliance circuit. Verify outdoor mounting surface and conduit entry are properly sealed to maintain the device's environmental rating. Do not power the system until all wiring connections are confirmed correct and the panel has been inspected.
