Edwards GL1RF-VMC FIRE Wall LED Strobe

The Edwards GL1RF-VMC FIRE Wall LED Strobe is a visible fire alarm notification appliance designed for indoor wall-mounted applications. It features a red housing, FIRE marking, clear lens, and field-selectable LED strobe output.

The GL1RF-VMC is a strobe-only appliance from the Edwards GL Series. It uses high-efficiency LED technology and supports the Edwards Genesis synchronization protocol for coordinated visual notification on compatible fire alarm circuits.

Product Functions

• Provides visible fire alarm notification
• Strobe-only notification appliance
• Designed for wall mounting
• Red housing
• FIRE marking
• Clear lens
• Uses LED strobe technology
• Provides four selectable candela settings
• Supports synchronized visual signaling
• Designed for compatible notification appliance circuits
• Low-profile design
• Supports flush or surface mounting

Selectable Candela

The GL1RF-VMC provides four field-selectable visual output settings:

15 cd

30 cd

75 cd

110 cd

This allows the same appliance to accommodate different visual notification requirements without replacing the strobe.

LED Strobe Technology

The GL1RF-VMC uses high-efficiency LED technology instead of a traditional xenon flash tube.

The LED design provides controlled light distribution while reducing notification circuit current requirements. Lower current consumption can help reduce power-supply requirements and overall circuit loading.

FIRE Configuration

The specific GL1RF-VMC configuration is:

Model: GL1RF-VMC

Device Type: LED Strobe

Housing: Red

Marking: FIRE

Lens: Clear

Mounting: Wall

Candela: 15 / 30 / 75 / 110 cd

Audible Function: None

Strobe-Only Operation

The GL1RF-VMC does not include an audible horn or speaker.

Therefore:

Audible Notification: None

Horn: None

Speaker: None

Visual Notification: LED Strobe

The related GL1RF-HDVMC combines an electronic horn with the selectable LED strobe.

Synchronized Notification

The GL1RF-VMC supports the Genesis synchronization protocol.

When connected to compatible Edwards fire alarm equipment, multiple strobes can flash together rather than independently.

This provides coordinated visual notification where multiple appliances are visible within the same area.

Mounting Options

The GL1RF-VMC supports:

Flush Mounting

Surface Mounting

For surface-mounted applications, the GL Series provides a compatible red single-gang surface box:

GL1RN-BB1G

A red trim plate is also available for applicable 4-inch square box configurations:

GL1RN-TP
