The Kidde Genesis LED EGCVRF drops a field-selectable multi-candela ceiling strobe onto commercial fire alarm NAC circuits without blowing the power budget. LED technology draws significantly less current than legacy xenon strobes at every candela setting, so you fit more appliances per circuit and spend less time recalculating wire runs.

Built for the fire alarm installer

Six candela settings (15, 30, 60, 75, 95, 115 cd) are selectable at the device - one SKU covers multiple room sizes and ADA spacing tables without stocking separate models. Red housing with FIRE marking meets UL 1971 and ULC-S526 listing requirements for commercial occupancies. The room-side wiring plate is included, so terminations happen from below the ceiling without pulling the device off the box.

Key features

  • Field-selectable candela: 15, 30, 60, 75, 95, 115 cd - one SKU covers corridor, open office, and large assembly spacing tables
  • LED technology: lower current draw per candela setting means more appliances per NAC circuit and fewer power supply calculations
  • Room-side wiring plate included: terminate wiring from below the ceiling grid without removing the strobe from the box
  • Genesis sync compatible: synchronized flash across the notification circuit for code-compliant visual notification
  • UL 1971 and ULC-S526 listed for commercial fire alarm applications in the US and Canada
  • Low-profile ceiling mount: clean appearance on T-bar, hard-lid, and exposed-structure ceilings

System requirements

Mounts to a standard 4" square electrical box, 4" octagon box, or 3-1/2" round box. Connects to notification appliance circuits on any compatible fire alarm control panel (FACP). Use with Genesis synchronization modules for code-compliant synchronized strobe flash across the notification zone.

FAQs

How many candela settings does the EGCVRF have?
Six field-selectable settings: 15, 30, 60, 75, 95, and 115 cd. You set the output at the device to match the room size and ADA/NFPA spacing requirements without stocking multiple SKUs.
Does the EGCVRF require a special backbox?
No. It mounts to a standard 4" square box, 4" octagon box, or 3-1/2" round box. No proprietary or oversized backbox required.
Is the wiring plate included?
Yes. The room-side wiring plate is included in the box. Terminations are made from below the ceiling without removing the strobe from the mounting box.
Will this sync with other Genesis strobes on the same NAC circuit?
Yes. The EGCVRF is compatible with the Genesis synchronization protocol. Use a Genesis sync module on the circuit for code-compliant synchronized flash across all connected Genesis strobes.
What is the current draw advantage of LED vs xenon Genesis strobes?
Genesis LED strobes draw significantly less current per candela setting compared to legacy xenon Genesis models. This means more appliances per NAC circuit, fewer power supply calculations, and lower overall system cost on large jobs.
Is the EGCVRF UL listed for commercial fire alarm use?
Yes. UL 1971 listed (US) and ULC-S526 listed (Canada) for visual notification appliance use in commercial fire alarm systems.
