The Edwards 6830-NY-S4 is a four-state Remote Telephone Warden Station, surface mount, red. First, it is an emergency communication handset station for the EST3 voice/alarm system. Specifically, the “NY” suffix designates a New York City–compliant configuration with a 5-foot armored handset cord.
Where the Edwards 6830-NY-S4 fits
This warden station enables two-way emergency voice communication during a fire. Therefore, high-rise commercial buildings, hospitals, and large institutional campuses install it on each floor. In addition, it supports the floor warden communicating with the central fire command station. As a result, the building gets code-compliant emergency telephone coverage in voice/alarm system installations.
Construction
First, the assembly comes in a red surface-mount enclosure for use with the 6832-1D backbox. Then, a hinged door with magnetic latch protects the handset until needed. Also, the handset connects via a 5-foot armored cable for tamper resistance.
Four-state operation
The “S4” suffix indicates four-state supervision: normal, alarm, trouble, and supervisory. Specifically, per UL 864 Rev. 9, one Edwards CC1 control module per warden station supports four-state operation. Therefore, the field installer must add a CC1 module to the addressable loop for each 6830-NY-S4 deployed.

What this station is not
Importantly, this is a telephone handset station, not an LED status annunciator. Therefore, the “4-state” refers to UL 864 supervision states — not to four indicator LEDs. Also, the flush-mount equivalent for the same configuration is the 6830-NY-F4.
