The Genesis G4LF is a 520 Hz low frequency wall-mount horn built for sleeping area notification per NFPA 72. At 520 Hz, it hits the tonal range proven to wake occupants faster than traditional 3 kHz signals - critical for occupancies where high-frequency devices fall short.
Built for the commercial fire alarm installer
Mounts on a standard 4" square electrical box (2-1/8" deep minimum) with the supplied spacer, or surface-mount with the optional EG4RB box. Two dBA output settings (high and low) let you size the NAC circuit without overshooting. Synchronizes temporal patterns with Genesis-compatible FACPs (VM, VS, FX Series) and sync modules (GSA-CC1S, SIGA-CC2A, EG1M-RM) - no proprietary sync hardware needed beyond what's already on most Kidde panels.
Key features
- 520 Hz low frequency tone meets NFPA 72 sleeping area notification requirements where standard 3 kHz horns don't cut it
- Two output settings (high/low dBA) for flexible NAC circuit design without additional attenuation
- Temporal pattern synchronization with Genesis-compatible FACPs and sync modules - stays within 10 ms indefinitely
- Low current draw (0.028-0.050A) lets you load more devices per NAC circuit
- Standard 4" square box mounting with included spacer - no special hardware or adapters
- UL 464 listed
System requirements
Requires 24 VDC or 24 VFWR power (operates 16-33V). Temporal pattern synchronization requires a compatible FACP or sync module. Indoor use only.
