Kidde - Edwards EWGSVMRF Outdoor Speaker Strobe Fire Alarm

Product Description

The KIDDE - EDWARDS EWGSVMRF is an outdoor-rated combination speaker and strobe unit designed for fire alarm notification systems. It delivers both audible and visible alert signals, with a strobe output range of 15 to 115 candela, making it suitable for a wide range of ambient lighting conditions and code-required coverage zones. The red housing identifies it as a fire alarm device, consistent with NFPA and AHJ color conventions. Licensed fire alarm technicians and low-voltage contractors are the primary installers for this type of device.

This unit is intended for outdoor installation in commercial, industrial, and multi-family residential fire alarm systems where weatherproof notification appliances are required. It is used in applications where a single device must satisfy both audible and visible notification requirements at a single notification appliance circuit output point. Typical install scenarios include building perimeters, covered walkways, parking structures, and exterior egress paths.
