The Edwards 6536-G5 is a CFA Series Call-for-Assistance horn/strobe. First, it is an audible-visual signaling appliance for help-call applications — not a fire alarm device. Specifically, it installs in a single-gang electrical box for restroom and care-area assistance signaling.
Where the Edwards 6536-G5 fits
This device is part of the Edwards CFA (Call for Assistance) family. Therefore, hospitals, clinics, ADA-accessible restrooms, and assisted-living facilities use it for help-call indication. In addition, it suits nurse-call corridor signaling and patient-room call lights. As a result, building managers get an off-the-shelf single-gang signal for staff response.
Installation
First, the appliance mounts in a standard single-gang 2″ × 4″ (51 mm × 102 mm) electrical box. Then, field wiring connects to a constant-voltage CFA signaling supply (24 V AC or 24 V DC). Also, the neutral white finish blends into clinical and accessible interior environments.

What this appliance is not
Importantly, this is a Call-for-Assistance signaling appliance, not a fire alarm horn/strobe. Therefore, it is not UL 464 or UL 1971 listed and does not satisfy NFPA 72 notification appliance requirements. For fire alarm coverage, specify a UL 464/UL 1971–listed Edwards Genesis or 757 series device.
