The Kidde Genesis GCHFWF-S7VMCH is a high fidelity ceiling-mount speaker-strobe that combines 520 Hz audio with selectable multi-candela strobe output in a single low-profile device. Built for commercial fire alarm notification circuits, it mounts to standard 4-inch square or octagonal boxes and runs on regulated 16-33 VDC - no special power supply needed.
Built for the commercial installer
The Genesis ceiling speaker-strobe delivers UL 1971 and UL 2572 listed performance with field-selectable candela settings (95, 115, 150, or 177 cd) and four speaker watt taps (1/4, 1/2, 1, or 2 watt at 70V). High fidelity 520 Hz capability meets current code requirements for sleeping area notification. The white housing with FIRE marking and clear lens satisfies life safety appliance requirements out of the box.
