KIDDE COMMERCIAL (EGCSVHRF) Ceiling Speaker/Strobe, 135-185cd, Red,

The KIDDE COMMERCIAL EGCSVHRF is a ceiling-mount Genesis LED EGCSVH high-candela speaker-strobe. Specifically, it ships with a red housing and the “FIRE” marking.

First, the strobe is field-selectable for 135, 150, 177, or 185 cd output. Then, the speaker portion is independently set for 25 VRMS or 70 VRMS audio. In addition, the wattage tap selects 1/4, 1/2, 1, or 2 W. As a result, one SKU covers a wide range of coverage and amplifier scenarios.

Furthermore, both settings stay visible through small windows after the cover snaps shut. Also, the EGCSVH family includes a DC blocking capacitor for supervised audio circuits.
