Overview

What it is and who it is for

The Edwards GCAVRF is a Genesis LED GC Series ceiling mount horn-strobe with a red housing and a FIRE marking. Its LED strobe is field selectable to 15, 30, 75 or 115 cd, and the horn offers temporal 3 or constant tone at high or low dB. It synchronizes with Edwards CC Series signal modules, booster and auxiliary power supplies, and intelligent and conventional control panels.

It runs on 16 to 33 VDC or VFWR and draws 50 mA DC (60 mA FWR) at low dB or 60 mA DC (75 mA FWR) at high dB, at any candela setting. Horn output is 80 dBA low and 86 dBA high reverberant per UL 464, or 86 and 92 dBA anechoic per CAN/ULC-S525. The round housing is 6.8 in in diameter and 1.82 in deep, stands about 1.5 in off the mounting surface and fits 1-gang, 2-gang, 4 in octagon and 4 in square boxes at least 1-1/2 in deep.

It snaps onto the GP10 room side wiring plate, which is required and ordered separately in packs of 10. Optional GCTR and GCTW trim plates and 27193-21 (red) or 27193-26 (white) two-gang surface boxes are available, and GCAVRF-CVR is the replacement cover.

  • Best for: indoor ceiling locations that need combined audible and visible fire notification with up to 115 cd.
  • System fit: 24 V notification appliance circuits with Edwards CC Series signal modules, booster and auxiliary supplies, or intelligent and conventional panels as the sync source.
  • Important to know: the GP10 wiring plate is required and sold separately; installation and programming must be done by a qualified fire alarm technician per local code.

Why teams choose it

Built for fire alarm systems

  • Low current LED strobe

    50 to 60 mA DC for the horn-strobe at any candela setting, so more devices fit on a circuit.

  • Four candela settings

    15, 30, 75 or 115 cd, selected by slide switch and visible through a window.

  • Configurable horn

    temporal 3 or constant tone and high or low dB, up to 92 dBA anechoic.

  • Pre-wire and test

    the GP10 room side wiring plate allows pre-wiring and has a diagnostics check bar.
