The Genesis LED EG1AVWF is a compact wall-mount horn strobe that covers a wide range of commercial fire alarm applications with a single SKU. Field-selectable candela output (15, 30, or 75 cd) and switchable high/low dB horn settings let installers match the device to the space without swapping hardware or carrying multiple models on the truck.
Built for the commercial installer
Part of the Kidde Genesis LED EG1 Series, this device mounts on standard 1-gang electrical boxes with no trim ring required. Optional EG1T trim rings accommodate 2-gang, 4-inch octagon, and 4-inch square boxes. LED strobe technology draws significantly less current than legacy Xenon strobes, reducing power supply requirements and simplifying NAC circuit design. UL 1971 and UL 1638 listed. FCC and CSFM approved. ADA compliant.
Key features
- Selectable 15, 30, or 75 cd output - configure candela via slide switch without removing the device from the wall
- High or low dB horn output with temporal (T3) or constant tone selection for code-compliant notification
- LED technology reduces current draw - fewer power supplies, smaller wire runs, simpler NAC circuit design
- Mounts on standard 1-gang boxes - no special hardware, clean flush appearance when covered
- Backward compatible with Xenon-based Genesis strobes - mix LED and Xenon on the same NAC circuit and in the same field of view
- Under-cover diagnostic test points for in-place circuit verification without dismounting the device
System requirements
Operates on 16 to 33 VDC or 16 to 33 VFWR notification appliance circuits. Synchronization requires Kidde CC Series Signal Modules, Booster and Auxiliary Power Supplies, or compatible Intelligent and Conventional Control Panels. Wire size: 12 to 18 AWG.
