The Kidde GSA-CC1S is a single-input synchronization output module for the Genesis notification appliance family. It takes one NAC riser input, generates ring tones internally, and synchronizes Genesis chime-strobe flash patterns to meet NFPA 72 temporal requirements - all from a standard 2-gang electrical box.

Built for the fire alarm installer

This module sits between the FACP and Genesis notification appliances on a single NAC circuit. The built-in ring tone generator eliminates the need for a separate tone source on the circuit, and the synchronization output keeps all connected Genesis strobes flashing within the UL 1971 timing window. UL and ULC listed for commercial fire alarm notification circuits. Rated for 32 to 120 degrees F operating environments.

Key features

  • Single-input NAC riser design: one circuit in, synchronized output to Genesis chimes and chime-strobes
  • Built-in ring tone generator: no external tone source needed on the circuit
  • Strobe synchronization: keeps Genesis strobes within UL 1971 / NFPA 72 sync timing requirements
  • 2-gang box mounting: fits standard electrical boxes already on the wall
  • UL and ULC listed for commercial fire alarm notification circuits
  • 24 VDC or 24 VFWR input: powers from standard FACP NAC output

System requirements

Requires a compatible Kidde fire alarm control panel (FACP) with NAC output. Connect to Genesis series chimes, chime-strobes, or strobes on the notification appliance circuit. Accepts 12 to 18 AWG field wiring.

FAQs

What does the GSA-CC1S do?
It synchronizes Genesis series chime-strobes so all strobes on the circuit flash within UL 1971 timing requirements per NFPA 72. It also generates ring tones internally, eliminating the need for a separate tone source.
Does this module generate its own ring tone?
Yes. The GSA-CC1S has a built-in ring tone generator. No external tone generator is needed on the NAC circuit.
What size electrical box does this mount in?
Standard 2-gang electrical box. The GSA-MCC1S is the plug-in UIO variant if your installation requires that form factor instead.
What voltage does the GSA-CC1S require?
24 VDC or 24 VFWR (filtered wave rectified), supplied by the FACP's NAC output.
What is the difference between the GSA-CC1S and GSA-MCC1S?
Both are Genesis Intelligent Synchronization Output Modules in a 2-gang form factor. The GSA-CC1S is a standard hardwired mount. The GSA-MCC1S is a plug-in UIO (Universal Input/Output) version for panels that support UIO modules.
What wire gauge does this accept?
12 to 18 AWG field wiring.
