The Kidde Genesis LED EGC Series ceiling mount horn delivers clear, high-output audible notification for commercial fire alarm systems. Field-selectable high/low volume and constant or TC3 temporal tone patterns let you match job requirements without swapping hardware. Low-profile design and universal mounting keep installs clean on standard electrical boxes.

Built for the commercial fire installer

The EGCARF mounts to 1-gang, 2-gang, 4-inch octagon, or 4-inch square boxes with the included room side wiring plate (GP10 or GSRW-10). Operating voltage of 16 to 33 VDC or 16 to 33 VFWR means it runs off the NAC circuit without extra power supplies. UL Listed (S218, S5389), ULC Listed (S525, S526), FCC Part 15 compliant, and FM Approved for broad code acceptance across commercial and institutional occupancies.

Key features

  • Field-selectable output: high (86 dBA reverberant / 92 dBA anechoic) or low (80 dBA / 86 dBA) to match coverage requirements
  • Constant or TC3 temporal tone: field-selectable without additional wiring or modules
  • Universal mounting: fits 1-gang, 2-gang, 4-inch octagon, and 4-inch square electrical boxes
  • Low-profile LED design: 6.8-inch diameter, 1.82-inch depth for minimal visual intrusion on finished ceilings
  • Room side wiring plate included: ships with the device for clean, accessible wiring
  • Low current draw: as low as 20 mA DC on low setting, maximizing devices per NAC circuit

System requirements

Compatible with Kidde Commercial intelligent and conventional fire alarm control panels. Connects to standard NAC circuits requiring 16 to 33 VDC or 16 to 33 VFWR. Wire size: 12 to 18 AWG.

FAQs

What electrical boxes does the Genesis EGC ceiling horn fit?
Mounts to 1-gang, 2-gang, 4-inch octagon, and 4-inch square electrical boxes. Room side wiring plate (GP10 or GSRW-10) is included with the device.
Can I select the volume output in the field?
Yes. The EGCARF has field-selectable high/low dB output. High produces 86 dBA reverberant (92 dBA anechoic) and low produces 80 dBA reverberant (86 dBA anechoic).
Does this horn support TC3 temporal signaling?
Yes. The tone pattern is field-selectable between constant and TC3 temporal without additional wiring or modules.
What voltage does this horn require?
Operates on 16 to 33 VDC or 16 to 33 VFWR from the fire alarm panel's NAC circuit. No additional power supply needed.
Is the Genesis EGC horn compatible with Kidde intelligent panels?
Yes. Compatible with both Kidde Commercial intelligent and conventional fire alarm control panels.
How much current does the EGCARF draw per device?
On DC: 20 mA (low) / 30 mA (high). On FWR: 25 mA (low) / 40 mA (high). Low current draw maximizes the number of notification appliances per NAC circuit.
