Kidde | Genesis LED EGCS Series Ceiling Speaker-Strobe, 15-115 cd Selectable, White, No Marking | EGCSVWN

The Kidde Genesis LED EGCS ceiling speaker-strobe combines high-fidelity audio and LED strobe notification in a low-profile package that drops onto standard 2-gang and 4-inch square boxes. Field-selectable candela (15, 30, 75, or 115 cd), voltage switching (25V/70V), and wattage taps (1/4W to 2W) let you dial in the right output for each zone without stocking multiple SKUs.

Built for the commercial fire installer

LED technology draws significantly less current than legacy Xenon strobes, putting more devices on each NAC circuit and reducing booster power supply count on the job. EGCS strobes are backwards compatible with existing Xenon devices on the same circuit and field of view, so retrofits don't require full rip-and-replace. UL 1971 listed, FM Approved, and 520Hz low-frequency capable for sleeping areas per NFPA requirements. Current draw stays the same at every candela setting (35 mA DC, 45 mA FWR), which means future output changes never force a circuit redesign.

Key features

• Field-selectable candela output: 15, 30, 75, or 115 cd - adjustable under the cover without removing the device from the ceiling
• Dual-voltage speaker: 25V and 70V in a single model with selectable 1/4W, 1/2W, 1W, or 2W taps
• High-fidelity audio: Speech Transmission Index (STI) of 0.81 for clear voice intelligibility in emergency conditions
• 520Hz low-frequency tone capable: meets NFPA standards for commercial sleeping areas
• Ultra-slim 1.5" profile: low-profile ceiling mount with no visible screws
• Room side wiring plate included: pre-install and pre-wire before drywall, then snap the device on after
• Uniform current draw: same current at every candela setting simplifies system design and allows future output changes without recalculating circuit loads
• Quick-swap covers: change housing markings (FIRE, ALERT, or no marking) without rewiring

System compatibility

Synchronizes with Kidde CC Series Signal Modules, Booster and Auxiliary Power Supplies, and Intelligent and Conventional Control Panels. Exceeds UL synchronization requirements (within 10 ms over a two-hour period). Mounts to standard 2-gang and 4-inch square electrical boxes at least 1-1/2" deep. Optional EGCTW trim plates available for oversized openings.
