The Edwards 6830-4 is a four-state fixed firefighter telephone handset assembly in red. It mounts inside a 6832-1 wallbox behind a 6831 series frontplate. The handset is UL and MEA Listed for fire alarm voice communication.
This is a fixed, keylocked station — not a portable handset. As a result, it stays mounted at its assigned location: stairwell, corridor, mechanical room, or fire command center. When a firefighter lifts the handset, the control panel registers the call.

How the Fixed Handset Station Works
An Edwards firephone station has three separately ordered parts. First, the 6832-1 wallbox installs flush or surface. Then a 6831 series frontplate (break-glass or non-break-glass) closes the door. Finally, the 6830-4 handset assembly mounts inside on a cradle. As a result, the complete station is keylocked and protected from tampering.
Sibling Handset Assemblies
The 6830-4 family includes three variants. Specifically, the 6830-4 is the base assembly. In addition, the 6830-5A-4 adds a push-to-talk button on the coiled cord version, and the 6830-6A-4 adds push-to-talk on a 60-inch armored cord. Therefore, choose the variant that matches the building’s call-handling convention.
Three-State vs Four-State Operation
The 6830-4 is the four-state version. Therefore, it complies with UL 864 Ninth Edition supervised-wiring requirements. As a result, it is the right pick for new installations and major retrofits.
