The Kidde Genesis High Fidelity Ceiling Speaker-Strobe delivers 520 Hz notification for sleeping areas on a single SLC run - no separate speaker amplifier, no extra conduit. Drop it on a standard 4" square or octagonal box, connect two wires, and the panel handles the rest.
Built for the commercial fire installer
NFPA 72 requires a 520 Hz low-frequency tone in sleeping areas for effective occupant waking. The Genesis High Fidelity line meets that requirement at the device level with a square wave output, eliminating the need for a separate low-frequency tone generator upstream. Field-selectable multi-candela amber strobe provides visual notification with output levels set on-site via DIP switches. Listed to UL 1638, UL 464, CSA C22.2 No. 205, ULC-S526, and ULC-S541.
Key features
