The Kidde Genesis GCVWN-G is a ceiling-mount mass notification strobe built for ECS/MNS (Emergency Communication System / Mass Notification System) deployments. Genesis patented low-current technology reduces NAC circuit loading, letting you put more devices on a single circuit without oversizing power supplies or pulling extra wire runs.
Built for the commercial installer
Mounts to standard 4-inch square or 3-1/2"/4" octagonal electrical boxes with no adapter plates or special hardware. Candela output is field-selectable (15, 30, 75, or 95 cd) via DIP switch, so one SKU covers multiple space requirements without returns or re-orders. White housing with green lens and no "FIRE" marking keeps the device compliant for non-fire mass notification applications. UL and ULC listed for code-compliant installations in the US and Canada. Rated for 16-33 VDC regulated input.
Key features
- Genesis low-current technology reduces NAC circuit loading - more devices per circuit, fewer power supplies on the job
- Selectable candela output: 15, 30, 75, or 95 cd via DIP switch - configure on site, no model swaps
- Standard electrical box mounting - fits 4" square, 3-1/2" or 4" octagonal boxes
- Green lens, no marking - purpose-built for ECS/MNS mass notification, distinct from fire alarm devices
- Built-in synchronization with Genesis auto-sync protocol for multi-device installations, no external module needed
- UL and ULC listed for US and Canadian code compliance
System requirements
Requires a regulated 16-33 VDC NAC circuit from a compatible FACP or mass notification system. Wire size 12-18 AWG. For synchronized flash across multiple strobes, connect Genesis devices on the same NAC circuit - synchronization is built in with no external sync module required.
What is the difference between this and a fire alarm strobe?
How many strobes can I run on one NAC circuit?
Do I need a sync module for multi-strobe installations?
What electrical box does this mount to?
Can I change the candela output after installation?
