Genesis Mass Notification Ceiling Speaker-Strobe, 15 cd Selectable, White, No Marking, Red

SKU KD-GCSVWN-R

  • Fast shipping from four branches
  • 30-day returns on unopened products

The Genesis GCSVWN-R brings mass notification signaling to the ceiling plane without eating install time. Flush-mount it to a standard 4-inch square electrical box - no extension ring required - and tie into the existing 24 VDC notification circuit. Field-selectable candela output lets you dial in the right strobe intensity for the space without swapping hardware.

Built for the commercial installer

UL 1638, UL 1971, and UL 1480 listed with CSFM approval. The white housing with no marking keeps the device architecturally neutral in lobbies, corridors, and assembly areas where mass notification coverage is required but visual clutter isn't welcome. Speaker wiring uses standard #18 to #12 AWG screw terminals - the same connections you're already pulling for the rest of the notification circuit.

Key features

  • Flush-mounts to standard 4" square boxes: 2-1/8" depth, no extension ring, no special backbox
  • Field-selectable strobe output: adjust candela on-site to match the space without ordering a different model
  • Speaker response 400-4,000 Hz: clear voice and tone reproduction for emergency messaging
  • Synchronizable strobes: compatible with Genesis sync modules (GSA-CC1S, SIGA-CC2A, EG1M-RM) and select power supplies
  • Indoor rated, 32F to 120F: covers standard commercial environments from coolers to mechanical rooms
  • UV-stabilized housing exceeds UL 94V-0 flammability: no yellowing or embrittlement over time

System requirements

Requires a 24 VDC notification appliance circuit from a compatible Kidde fire alarm control panel. Strobe synchronization requires a Genesis-compatible sync module or power supply. Mount to any North American 4-inch square electrical box (2-1/8" deep minimum) or Kidde 960A-4RF round flush box.

FAQs

What electrical box does this mount to?
Standard North American 4-inch square electrical box, 2-1/8" (54 mm) deep. Also compatible with the Kidde 960A-4RF round flush box. No extension ring required.
Can I adjust the strobe output in the field?
Yes. Candela output is field-selectable without removing the device from the ceiling or ordering a different model.
Does this require a synchronization module?
For synchronized strobe operation across multiple devices, yes. Compatible sync sources include the GSA-CC1S, SIGA-CC2A, GSA-MCC2A, EG1M-RM, and select Genesis-compatible power supplies (MIRBPS6A, MIRBPS10A, APS6A, APS10A).
Is this rated for outdoor installation?
No. Indoor use only, rated 32°F to 120°F (0°C to 49°C), 0-93% relative humidity. For outdoor mass notification, see the Genesis Outdoor Speakers and Strobes lineup.
What wire gauge does this accept?
Screw terminals accept #18 to #12 AWG (0.75 mm² to 2.5 mm²), polarized inputs for the speaker circuit.
