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).

FAQs

Does the Genesis LED EG1 work with my existing NAC circuit?
Yes. The EG1 operates on 16-33 VDC or VFWR and is backwards compatible with legacy Xenon-based Genesis strobes. LED and Xenon devices can share the same NAC circuit with no sync issues.
How do I change the candela or horn setting in the field?
Remove the cover and slide the switches to the desired candela (15, 30, or 75 cd) and horn (high/low dB, constant/temporal) settings. The device stays on the wall. Settings are visible through a window on the left side after the cover is replaced.
What electrical boxes does this fit?
Standard 1-gang, 2-gang, 4-inch octagon, and 4-inch square boxes. Boxes must be at least 1-1/2 in. deep. Use the optional EG1TW trim ring (white) for boxes wider than 3 inches.
Can I mix LED and Xenon Genesis strobes on the same circuit?
Yes. EG1 LED strobes are backwards compatible and can be mixed with legacy Xenon-based Genesis strobes on the same NAC circuit without additional hardware or configuration.
What is the ALERT marking with amber lens used for?
The ALERT marking with amber lens is designed for non-fire alerting and mass notification applications. The amber lens provides clear visual differentiation from standard fire alarm devices, which typically use FIRE markings with clear or red lenses.
