The Kidde Genesis LED EG1AVWN is a compact wall-mount horn-strobe that fits standard single-gang electrical boxes and pulls less current than legacy Xenon notification appliances. Selectable 15, 30, or 75 candela output and switchable high/low horn volume let you set the device to the job without swapping hardware. White housing, no FIRE marking - ready for applications where code requires notification without fire-specific labeling.
Built for the commercial installer
The EG1 Series mounts directly to 1-gang, 2-gang, 4-inch octagon, and 4-inch square boxes with a minimum depth of 1-1/2 inches. Candela and tone settings are field-adjustable under the cover, and the selected candela setting stays visible through a window on the housing side - no guessing during inspections. LED technology means lower NAC circuit loading and longer device life compared to Xenon strobes, and the EG1 can run on the same circuit alongside legacy Xenon devices without compatibility issues.
Key features
- Selectable 15/30/75 cd strobe output with visible candela indicator window for fast inspection verification
- High/low horn volume (85/80 dBA reverberant) with constant or T3 temporal tone options
- LED strobe technology draws less current than Xenon, reducing NAC circuit loading and extending device count per circuit
- Mixes with existing Xenon strobes on the same NAC circuit and in the same field of view - no rip-and-replace required
- UL 1971, UL 1638, UL 464 listed and ADA-compliant per Chapter 28 Part 36
- Compact form factor fits standard 1-gang boxes - 3 x 4-5/8 x 1-1/8 in.
System requirements
Operates on 16-33 VDC or 16-33 VFWR notification appliance circuits. Requires a synchronization source for strobe compliance per NFPA 72 - compatible with Kidde CC Series Signal Modules, Booster and Auxiliary Power Supplies, and Intelligent and Conventional Fire Alarm Control Panels. Maximum 20 ohms between any two synchronized devices on the circuit.
