The Genesis LED EGCS ceiling speaker-strobe puts high-candela visual notification (135-185 cd, field-selectable) and clear 25/70V speaker output into a single ceiling-mount device. Powered from the FACP's NAC circuit at 24VDC, it drops onto a standard 4-inch square or two-gang electrical box. The included GRSW room-side wiring plate lets you pre-wire, terminate, and check continuity with the built-in diagnostics bar before the device goes up - no second trip to the ceiling.
Built for the commercial fire installer
UL 1971, UL 464, ULC-S526, and ULC-S541 listed. The LED strobe eliminates lamp replacement - a real advantage on high-ceiling installs where reaching the device means scaffolding or a lift. Genesis LED strobes can be mixed with legacy Xenon devices on the same NAC circuit and in the same field of view, making this a practical upgrade path for existing systems. Synchronization meets NFPA 72 requirements when paired with a compatible Kidde panel or Genesis Signal Master module.
Key features
- High candela output (135-185 cd): field-selectable for large open spaces, atriums, and high-ceiling applications where standard 15-115 cd units fall short
- Speaker taps at ¼W, ½W, 1W, and 2W: selectable for 25V or 70V circuits via a field switch under the cover
- LED strobe technology: no lamp replacement, lower current draw than xenon, consistent flash intensity across rated life
- Room-side wiring plate included: pre-install, terminate, and test wiring with the diagnostics check bar before mounting the device
- 520Hz low-frequency capable: meets NFPA standards for sleeping areas in hotels, dormitories, and residential occupancies
- Low profile: protrudes only 1.5" from the mounting surface
System requirements
Requires a 24VDC NAC circuit from a compatible FACP. For synchronized strobe operation across multiple devices, use a Genesis Signal Master or compatible Kidde panel with built-in sync output. Speaker circuit is independent of the strobe circuit - both circuits wire through the device for easy daisy-chaining.
