The Kidde Genesis LED EGCSVRN is a ceiling-mount speaker/strobe that combines audio and visual notification in a single low-profile appliance. Selectable 15, 30, 75, or 115 candela output and 25V/70V speaker operation give you one device that adapts to the job instead of stocking multiple SKUs.
Built for the commercial installer
The EGCS Series mounts to standard 2-gang or 4-inch square electrical boxes with a minimum 1-1/2 inch depth. The included room-side wiring plate (GRSW) keeps all wiring accessible from the finished side of the ceiling - no need to get above the drop tile to make connections. Candela and wattage settings are field-selectable without removing the device from the box; just slide the switches under the cover skin. UL and ULC listed for fire alarm notification appliance service.
Key features
