The Kidde Genesis 4MS-5AR is a 15 cd synchronized wall-mount strobe built for commercial fire alarm notification circuits. It installs directly to any standard one-gang electrical box - no adapter plates, no trim rings - and protrudes less than one inch from the wall for a clean, low-profile finish.
Built for the commercial fire alarm installer
