The Kidde Genesis LED EGC Series ceiling mount strobe delivers high-candela visual notification for large open commercial spaces where standard-output devices fall short. Field-selectable 135 or 185 cd output covers the room without stacking multiple devices, cutting install time and material cost on warehouses, atriums, and open-plan offices.
Built for the commercial fire alarm installer
Mounts directly to a standard 4-inch square electrical box with the included room-side wiring plate. Wire connections happen from the room side, not behind the device. Compatible with 16-33V DC regulated or 16-33V FWR unregulated NAC circuits. UL 1971 and ULC-S526 listed. SmartSync technology enables temporal code 3 signaling from a steady NAC output, reducing panel and wiring requirements on retrofit jobs.
