SKU:
KD-EGC-HDVMH

The Kidde Genesis LED EGC Series ceiling-mount horn/strobe combines high-output LED strobe technology with efficient audible notification in a low-profile package that sits under two inches off the ceiling. Designed for commercial fire alarm systems, it runs on existing NAC circuits at a fraction of the current draw of legacy Xenon strobes - meaning more devices per circuit, longer wire runs, and fewer booster power supplies on the job.

Built for the commercial installer

The EGC mounts to standard 1-gang, 2-gang, 4-inch octagon, or 4-inch square electrical boxes using the included GP10 room-side wiring plate. Pre-wire and verify continuity before snapping the device into place - no guesswork, no callbacks. Field-selectable candela and dB output settings are accessible under the cover without removing the device from the ceiling. UL 1971 listed, ULC certified, and FM Approved.

Key features

  • Ultra-low current draw: LED technology puts more devices on each NAC circuit and cuts the need for additional booster power supplies
  • Field-selectable candela: adjust light output on site to match the space without swapping hardware
  • Selectable horn output: high or low dB, constant or temporal (TC3) pattern, configurable via slide switches
  • Backwards compatible: mix on the same circuit and field of view as legacy Xenon-based Genesis strobes for phased upgrades
  • Pre-wire friendly: GP10 wiring plate with diagnostics check bar lets you verify continuity before the device goes on
  • Quick-swap covers: change markings (FIRE, ALERT, or unmarked) and housing color without replacing the device

Does the EGC-HDVMH work with legacy Xenon strobes on the same circuit?
Yes. Genesis LED EGC Series devices are backwards compatible with legacy Xenon-based Genesis strobes. They can share the same NAC circuit and field of view, making the EGC ideal for retrofits and phased upgrades.
What electrical boxes does this mount to?
Standard 1-gang, 2-gang, 4-inch octagon, and 4-inch square boxes (minimum 1-1/2" deep). Optional EGCTW (white) and EGCTR (red) trim plates cover oversized openings.
Can I change the candela or horn output in the field?
Yes. Light output and sound level are both field-configurable via slide switches under the cover. The device does not need to be removed from the ceiling to change settings.
What synchronization sources are compatible?
Kidde CC Series Signal Modules, Booster and Auxiliary Power Supplies, and Kidde Intelligent and Conventional Control Panels. All Genesis strobes synchronize within 10 milliseconds over a two-hour period, exceeding UL requirements.
Can I swap the cover marking after installation?
Yes. Quick-swap replacement covers are available in red or white with FIRE, ALERT, or no marking. Change the cover without replacing or rewiring the device.
