Kidde - Edwards QBS-0034 Strobe 12/24V Amber

Product Description

The KIDDE - EDWARDS QBS-0034 is a strobe notification appliance designed for fire alarm and life safety systems. Operating on 12/24 volt dual-voltage input, this unit produces an amber strobe flash to alert building occupants in emergency scenarios. It belongs to the 45 Series product family, which is engineered for commercial and residential fire alarm panel integration. Licensed fire alarm technicians and life safety contractors typically install this device as part of a notification appliance circuit. The amber lens distinguishes it from standard white or red strobes, making it suitable for specialized signaling zones or applications requiring color-coded notification.

The QBS-0034 is suited for commercial buildings, industrial facilities, and multi-tenant residential properties where fire alarm notification appliances are required by code. The 45 Series platform supports flush and surface mounting configurations common in corridor, lobby, and open-area installations. Its dual-voltage compatibility simplifies integration with a wide range of fire alarm control panels operating on either 12 or 24 volt notification circuits.
