Description
The Edwards 757-7A-CS is a red chime/strobe notification appliance designed to provide both audible and visual signaling in fire alarm and emergency communication systems. The Edwards 757-7A-CS combines a chime sounder with a 15/75 candela strobe, making it ideal for applications where a softer audible signal is preferred instead of a traditional horn. It is commonly used in healthcare facilities, offices, hotels, assisted living spaces, and other environments requiring controlled emergency notification.
Integrated Chime and Strobe Design
The 757-7A-CS combines audible chime notification and visual strobe signaling in one compact wall-mounted appliance. Consequently, installers can reduce device count while providing both sound and visual notification from a single unit. Moreover, the combined design simplifies wiring, mounting, and system layout.
15/75 Candela Visual Notification
The Edwards 757-7A-CS includes a 15/75 candela strobe designed for effective visual alerting in indoor applications. Therefore, it provides bright visual notification for corridors, patient rooms, office areas, and public spaces. Additionally, the strobe output helps support accessibility requirements when installed according to applicable codes and system design standards.
Red Housing for Fire Alarm Identification
The appliance features a red housing that clearly identifies it as part of a fire alarm or emergency signaling system. As a result, occupants, inspectors, and emergency personnel can easily recognize the device’s life safety function. Furthermore, the red finish supports traditional fire alarm notification appliance installations.
Soft Audible Chime Notification
The chime portion provides a more pleasant audible signal compared to standard horns. Consequently, it is well suited for environments where abrupt horn tones may be disruptive, such as hospitals, nursing homes, offices, and hospitality facilities. In addition, chime signaling can be used for coded alerts, staff notification, or private mode emergency response.
Wall-Mount Installation
The Edwards 757-7A-CS is designed for wall-mounted installation in indoor environments. Therefore, it can be installed in hallways, rooms, lobbies, corridors, and other protected spaces. Additionally, the compact design supports clean installation on compatible electrical back boxes.
