The Kidde Genesis LED EGCSWA is a ceiling-mount fire alarm speaker built for 25V and 70.7V NAC circuits. A field-selectable voltage switch under the cover means one SKU handles both circuit types - no ordering mistakes, no return trips to the supply house. Wattage taps at 1/4W, 1/2W, 1W, and 2W let you dial in coverage per zone, and the included room-side wiring plate (GRSW) means you can run wire and mount the backplate before the device even arrives on site.
Built for the commercial fire installer
The EGCS Series fits standard 2-gang and 4-inch square electrical boxes with a minimum 1-1/2" depth. At just 1.82" deep, it sits nearly flush to the ceiling - a clean look for occupied commercial spaces. UL listed, FCC certified, and FM Approved. The DC blocking capacitor provides electrical supervision of the NAC circuit without additional components.
