The Edwards Signaling G4LFWF-HVM Low Frequency Horn/Strobe is a high-performance notification appliance designed to provide both audible and visual alerts for fire and life safety systems. Operating at 24VDC, this device delivers a 520 Hz low-frequency tone specifically engineered to meet modern sleeping area requirements as defined by NFPA 72 and UL 464 standards. Its white housing with “FIRE” marking ensures clear visibility and identification in all environments.
The G4LFWF-HVM combines a powerful horn with a bright strobe, creating an effective and reliable alert system suitable for commercial, residential, and institutional applications. Because it uses high-efficiency LED strobe technology, it consumes less power while maintaining strong, consistent illumination during emergencies.
