Edwards (869STRR-AQ) Bright, Low Current, High Decibel, Surface Mount

The Edwards 869STRR-AQ is an indoor flush-mount electronic horn-strobe with a red lens, operating on 24 V AC or 24 V DC. Specifically, it belongs to Edwards Signaling’s 860-Series industrial signaling line. Therefore, it provides combined audible and visible signaling for general industrial, process, and access-control applications.

First, the housing is gray engineered thermoplastic. Then both the xenon strobe and the electronic horn can run on the same circuit or on independent circuits. As a result, you can wire them together for evacuation-style signaling or separately for distinct events.

860-Series Naming Decoder

Furthermore, the 869STR family follows a consistent naming convention. Specifically:

• 867STR — indoor SURFACE mount
• 868STR — outdoor surface mount
• 869STR — indoor FLUSH or panel mount
• Lens color: C = Clear, R = Red, G = Green, B = Blue, A = Amber
• Voltage: AQ = 24 V AC/DC; N5 = 120 V AC, 50/60 Hz

Therefore, 869STRR-AQ decodes to: 869STR (indoor flush) + R (red lens) + AQ (24 V AC/DC).

Verified Electrical Specifications

• Operating voltage: 24 V 50/60 Hz (AC) or 24 V DC
• Horn current — 24 V AC: 72 mA
• Horn current — 24 V DC: 22 mA
• Strobe current — 24 V AC: 370 mA
• Strobe current — 24 V DC: 390 mA
• Flash rate: 60 flashes per minute (1 fps)
• Sound level: 100 dB at 1 m / 90 dBA at 10 ft (anechoic chamber)
• Red-lens effective light output: 21 cd per UL 1638
• Voltage tolerance: -20% to +10% of nominal

However, horn and strobe currents are additive when wired in parallel. As a result, design circuit loading and conductor sizing around the combined draw.

Operating Environment and Mounting

Specifically, the 869STRR-AQ is rated for indoor use only:

• Temperature: 32 to 120°F (0 to 49°C)
• Humidity: 85% relative humidity at 86°F (30°C)

Also, the 869STR mounts to a standard North American 4-inch (102 mm) square electrical box with a 1-1/2 inch (38 mm) extension ring. Therefore, total minimum box depth is 3 inches (76 mm). Mounting plate is supplied. Shipping weight is 1.40 lb.

• UL 1638 (visible signaling appliance)
• UL 464 (audible signaling appliance)

What This Part Is Not

However, the 869STRR-AQ is NOT a fire-alarm notification appliance. Specifically, it carries UL 1638 and UL 464 — NOT UL 1971 (fire-alarm visible notification for the hearing impaired). Therefore, do not specify this part as a substitute for a fire-alarm horn-strobe.

Also, the 860-Series is industrial signaling. As a result, it does NOT integrate with EST3, EST3X, iO64, iO500, or QuickStart QS1 fire-alarm panels. For fire-alarm use, see Edwards’ Integrity or Genesis Series.
