Edwards WGAVWF FIRE Outdoor Horn Strobe

The Edwards WGAVWF FIRE Outdoor Horn Strobe is an audible/visible fire alarm notification appliance designed for outdoor and harsh-environment installations. The specific WGAVWF configuration combines a white housing, FIRE marking, electronic horn, and selectable 15/30-candela strobe.

The appliance operates from a conventional notification appliance circuit and provides coordinated audible and visual emergency signaling.

Product Functions

• Provides audible fire alarm notification
• Provides visible fire alarm notification
• Combines horn and strobe in one appliance
• Designed for outdoor installations
• Provides selectable 15 or 30 candela
• Provides Temporal 3 audible signaling

Horn Strobe Operation

The WGAVWF combines two notification functions:

Horn: Provides audible emergency signaling.

Strobe: Provides synchronized visual fire alarm notification.

Both functions are integrated into a single outdoor-rated wall/ceiling appliance platform.

Conventional Notification Operation

The WGAVWF is a conventional notification appliance, not an individually addressable Signature device.

It receives its activation and operating power from the compatible fire alarm notification circuit. The appliance itself does not require an address on the fire alarm signaling line circuit.

Published WG Series information identifies:

Operating Voltage: 16–33 VDC

Audible Modes: Temporal 3 / Continuous
