Genesis Ceiling Strobe for Mass Notification & ECS, Field-Configurable Multi-Candela, White with Red Lens
SKU KD-GCVWN-R
- Fast shipping from four branches
- 30-day returns on unopened products
The Genesis GCVWN-R drops onto a standard 4" square electrical box and puts mass notification signaling on the ceiling without extension rings, trim plates, or visible mounting hardware. Candela output is field-configurable (selectable A/B/C/D settings) without removing the device from the box - adjust the switch, close the cover, and the setting stays visible through the indicator window.
Built for the commercial installer
White housing with red lens and no marking - built specifically for ECS/MNS applications where mass notification strobes need to be visually distinct from life safety "FIRE" devices. UL 1971 and UL 1638 listed. ADA compliant. Meets CAN/ULC S526-02 and CAN/ULC S524-01 for Canadian installations. CSFM and MEA approved.
Key features
- Field-configurable candela: selectable output settings (A/B/C/D) adjusted without removing the device from the electrical box
- Low-profile design: protrudes just 0.60" from the ceiling - 30% slimmer than comparable ceiling strobes
- FullLight strobe technology: smooth, even light distribution across the coverage area with no specular hotspots
- No visible mounting screws: unlatch-and-twist cover conceals hardware for a clean finished look
- Standard 4" box mounting: fits any flush North American 4" square electrical box, 2-1/8" deep, no extension ring needed
- Synchronizable: exceeds UL 1971 sync requirements when paired with a Genesis Signal Master or compatible sync source
System requirements
Requires a listed notification appliance circuit or fire alarm control panel providing regulated 16-33 VDC or 16-33 Vfwr. Synchronization requires a compatible module (SIGA-CC1S, SIGA-MCC1S, SIGA-CC2A, SIGA-MCC2A, G1M-RM, or equivalent). Indoor applications only. Wiring terminals accept #18 to #12 AWG.
