Kidde | Genesis GC Series Ceiling Mount Mass Notification Speaker/Strobe, White, Amber Lens, Selectable Candela | GCSVWN-A

The Genesis GC ceiling speaker/strobe puts mass notification audio and visual signaling on a single ceiling-mount device. Selectable wattage (1/4, 1/2, 1, or 2W) and selectable candela (13, 26, 65, or 82 cd amber) let you dial in coverage per room without swapping hardware. One device, one pull, one back box.

Built for the commercial installer

The GC mounts flush on a standard 4-inch square electrical box - no proprietary brackets or adapter plates. Field-selectable wattage and candela switches are accessible after installation for post-occupancy adjustments without pulling the device off the ceiling. Genesis synchronization protocol keeps all strobes in the circuit flashing in unison when paired with a Signal Master or compatible sync module.

Application

Mass notification systems in commercial, institutional, and government facilities. The amber lens and unmarked housing distinguish mass notification signaling from fire alarm notification per NFPA 72 requirements. Pair with a compatible mass notification FACP or NAC circuit for voice evacuation or alert tone coverage.
