SKU:
KD-GCHFWN-S7VMA

The GCHFWN-S7VMA pairs crisp, intelligible voice audio with an amber-lens strobe in one low-profile ceiling appliance, built for mass notification applications that need to stay visually distinct from red-lens fire alarm signals.

Built for the commercial fire installer

High fidelity 520Hz output produces clear voice audio that stays intelligible even in high-ambient-noise spaces, and the appliance is approved for sleeping-room use as part of an end-to-end audio system with a factory-supplied 520Hz tone. Speaker wattage taps (1/4, 1/2, 1, or 2W) and amber strobe candela (13/26/65/82 cd) are both field-selectable through windows on the front of the device. The 70V speaker circuit suits longer audio riser runs than a 25V design.

Key features

  • 520Hz High Fidelity audio meets NFPA sleeping-area requirements
  • Field-selectable wattage: 1/4, 1/2, 1, or 2W
  • Amber lens, field-selectable 13, 26, 65, or 82 cd
  • 70 VRMS speaker circuit for longer audio riser runs
  • Low-profile design, 30% slimmer than comparable signals

System requirements

Flush mounts to a North American 4-inch square box, 2-1/8 in. deep, or a 960A-4RF round flush box - no extension ring needed. Speakers driven by third-party audio systems are not UL approved for sleeping-room use.

Why an amber lens?
Amber lenses distinguish mass notification alerts from red-lens fire alarm strobes when both systems are visible in the same field of view.
Why choose 70V instead of 25V?
70V circuits tolerate more voltage drop over long wire runs, making them the better choice for larger buildings or longer riser distances from the amplifier.
