The Kidde Genesis LED EG1 horn-strobe puts audible and visual notification on the wall in a compact, low-profile package that protrudes about an inch from the mounting surface. This ALERT-marked model with amber lens is built for non-fire alerting applications where visual differentiation from standard fire alarm devices matters - mass notification, weather alerts, or facility-specific signaling.
Built for the commercial installer
The EG1 mounts to a standard 1-gang box with no trim ring required, keeping the install fast and the finished look clean. Optional EG1TW trim rings cover oversized openings on 2-gang and 4-inch square boxes. Operating on 16-33 VDC or VFWR, it drops onto existing NAC circuits without rework. LED technology draws less current than legacy Xenon strobes and allows smaller wire gauge (12-18 AWG), reducing conduit requirements on new runs. EG1 LED devices are backwards compatible - mix them with existing Xenon-based Genesis strobes on the same circuit without sync issues.
Key features
- Field-selectable candela output: 15, 30, or 75 cd - change the setting under the cover without removing the device from the wall
- Selectable horn output: high dB (85/92 dBA) or low dB, constant or T3 temporal pattern
- Backwards compatible with Xenon Genesis strobes - LED and Xenon devices coexist on the same NAC circuit
- Compact, low-profile design fits standard 1-gang boxes with no visible mounting screws
- Built-in synchronization meets UL requirements when paired with Kidde CC Series sync sources
- Under-cover diagnostic test points for circuit verification without dismounting
Compatibility
Synchronizes with Kidde CC Series Signal Modules, Booster and Auxiliary Power Supplies, and both Intelligent and Conventional Control Panels. Mounts on 1-gang, 2-gang, 4-inch octagon, or 4-inch square electrical boxes (minimum 1-1/2 in. deep).
