The Kidde Genesis LED EG1R-C is a compact wall mount chime-strobe that delivers both audible and visual notification from one of the smallest footprints in the Genesis LED lineup. Built for commercial fire alarm circuits running 24VDC, it mounts to standard back boxes and ties into Kidde and Edwards Enhanced Integrity or Genesis NAC circuits without adapter plates or special wiring.

Built for the commercial fire alarm installer

The EG1 Series compact form factor fits where full-size appliances won't - tight corridors, small offices, and retrofit spaces where mounting real estate is limited. LED strobe technology means lower current draw per device, letting you load more appliances per NAC circuit before hitting panel limits. UL 464 and ULC-S525/S526 listed for fire alarm service in the US and Canada.

Key features

  • Compact Genesis form factor: fits standard back boxes in tight mounting locations where full-size appliances can't go
  • Dual notification: chime audible and LED strobe visual in a single appliance - fewer devices on the wall, fewer wire runs
  • LED strobe technology: lower current draw per appliance means more devices per NAC circuit
  • 16-33 VDC operating range: works on regulated or unregulated (filtered) DC notification circuits
  • Genesis sync compatible: synchronizes with other Genesis appliances on the same NAC circuit for code-compliant temporal patterns
  • UL and ULC listed: fire alarm notification service in the US and Canada

What fire alarm panels is this compatible with?
Any Kidde or Edwards fire alarm control panel (FACP) with a 24VDC notification appliance circuit (NAC). Compatible with Enhanced Integrity and Genesis notification circuits.
Does the strobe synchronize with other Genesis appliances?
Yes. The LED strobe synchronizes with other Genesis and Genesis LED appliances on the same NAC circuit using the Genesis sync protocol, meeting NFPA 72 requirements for synchronized visible notification.
Can I use this outdoors?
No. The EG1R-C is rated for indoor use only - operating temperature 32°F to 120°F, humidity 0-93% non-condensing. For outdoor applications, see the Genesis Outdoor series (Kidde part numbers beginning with EGO).
What wire size does this require?
Standard 12 to 18 AWG field wiring. Accepts regulated or unregulated (filtered) DC from the NAC circuit, operating range 16-33 VDC.
