The Kidde Genesis GCSVWN-G combines a speaker and strobe in a single ceiling-mount package for mass notification systems. Green lens with no text marking, white housing, and field-selectable candela output (15, 30, 75, or 95 cd) - one SKU covers multiple notification zones without stocking separate models for each cd rating.
Built for the commercial installer
Mounts to a standard 4-inch square electrical box (minimum 2-1/8-inch deep), so there's no special back box to source or stock. Runs on 25 VRMS notification appliance circuits alongside the rest of the Genesis notification appliance line. UL 1971, UL 1480, ULC-S541, and ULC-S526 listed. Synchronizable with Kidde Genesis sync modules for code-compliant temporal patterns across multi-device circuits.
Key features

- Green lens, no text marking - purpose-built for mass notification, distinct from fire alarm devices on the same system

System requirements
