The Genesis LED G4SE Strobe Expander adds a synchronized visual alert to any Genesis audible-only notification appliance without replacing the existing device. Mount the G4SE directly behind a compatible Genesis horn, speaker, or chime on a standard 4-inch box, connect to the NAC circuit, and the strobe operates in sync with the building's fire alarm system.
Built for the commercial fire alarm installer
UL 1971 and ULC S526 listed for indoor, dry locations. The G4SE runs on 16-33 VDC or VFWR from the existing NAC - no separate power supply required. LED technology keeps current draw low (28 mA DC / 36 mA FWR), which matters on long notification circuits where every milliamp counts. Synchronization is handled through the Genesis Sync Protocol via Kidde CC Series signal modules, booster and auxiliary power supplies, or intelligent and conventional control panels.
Key features
- Adds strobe to existing Genesis audibles: pairs with Genesis LED horns, speakers, chimes, and mini-horns without replacing the appliance
- Blue 30 cd output for mass notification, alert, or non-fire signaling applications
- Low current draw: 28 mA (DC) / 36 mA (FWR) - maximizes devices per NAC circuit
- Standard 4-inch box mounting: flush-mount on North-American 4" square box, at least 1 " deep
- Genesis Sync Protocol: synchronized strobing across the circuit without add-on modules at each device
- UL 1971 / ULC S526 listed for code-compliant commercial fire alarm installations
Compatible appliances
The G4SE pairs with Genesis LED wall-mount horns, horn-strobes (audible portion), speakers, speaker-strobes (audible portion), chimes, chime-strobes (audible portion), and mini-horns. Confirm compatibility with the specific Genesis model on the job before ordering.
