The Genesis LED EGCS ceiling speaker delivers clear, intelligible audio notification with a Speech Transmission Index (STI) of 0.81 - well above the 0.76 threshold considered excellent for emergency voice communication. Field-selectable 25V and 70V operation from a single switch means one SKU covers both system types, and four wattage taps (1/4W, 1/2W, 1W, 2W) let you dial in output for the space without swapping hardware.

Built for the commercial fire alarm installer

The EGCSWN mounts to standard 2-gang and 4-inch square electrical boxes and protrudes under two inches from the ceiling. The included GRSW room-side wiring plate lets you pre-wire and verify continuity before the speaker snaps into place, cutting time on the ceiling. Under-cover diagnostic test points provide circuit access while the device stays mounted. 520Hz low-frequency output meets NFPA requirements for sleeping areas in hotels, dorms, and healthcare facilities. UL 1480 and ULC-S541 listed.

FAQs

Does this speaker work with both 25V and 70V systems?
Yes. A single field-selectable switch on the EGCSWN lets you toggle between 25VRMS and 70VRMS operation. One SKU covers both system types - no need to stock separate models.
What wattage taps are available?
Four field-selectable taps: 1/4W, 1/2W, 1W, and 2W. Sound output ranges from 78 dBA at 1/4W to 87 dBA at 2W (UL 1480 reverberant rating). Choose the tap that matches the coverage area and ambient noise level.
Does this meet NFPA sleeping area requirements?
Yes. The EGCSWN is 520Hz low-frequency capable, meeting NFPA 72 requirements for sleeping area notification in hotels, dormitories, assisted living, and residential occupancies.
What electrical boxes does this fit?
Standard 2-gang and 4-inch square electrical boxes. Boxes must be at least 1-1/2 inches (3.81 cm) deep. Kidde recommends mounting boxes at 81 inches AFF.
