Edwards Signaling EGC-VM Installation Manual
- 1. Installation Sheet 29APR05 P/N: 3100612 REV: 3.0 Genesis Ceiling Strobe 1 / 2 Genesis Ceiling Strobe Product information The Genesis Ceiling Strobe is a visible fire alarm notification appliance designed for indoor ceilings and walls. See Table 1 for a list of model numbers. The strobe includes a field configurable switch for selecting the desired candela output. The candela output setting is locked in place and remains visible after final installation. This strobe features an enhanced synchronization circuit to comply with the latest requirements of UL 1971 Signaling Devices for the Hearing Impaired and the latest Canadian standard CAN/ULC S526-02. Synchronized operation requires a separately installed synchronization control module. See Table 2 for a list of compatible synchronization modules. Install this device in accordance with applicable requirements in the latest editions of the NFPA codes and standards and Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1, Section 32, CAN/ULC S524- 01, Standard for the Installation of Fire Alarm Systems, and in accordance with the local authorities having jurisdiction.

P/N: 3100612 REV: 3.0 29APR05 Installation Sheet 2 / 2 Genesis Ceiling Strobe Installation Instructions Warning: To reduce the risk of shock, disconnect all power and allow 10 minutes for stored energy to dissipate before handling. Caution: Electrical supervision requires the wire run to be broken at each terminal. Do not loop the signaling circuit field wires around the terminals. To install the strobe: 1. Remove the cover by depressing the tab on the side of the unit with a small screwdriver. Turn the cover counterclockwise to release. 2. If temporal strobe (private mode) operation is desired, cut jumper JP1. See Figure 2. 3. Connect the strobe terminals to the signal circuit field wiring. You must observe polarity for the unit to function properly. See Figure 3. 4. Slide the candela switch to the desired candela output (15, 30, 75, or 95 cd) by aligning it with the indicator below the switch. See Figure 4. 5. Mount the unit onto a compatible electrical box. See Figure 5. 6. Replace the cover by positioning the alignment arrows together and rotating the cover clockwise. 7. Test the unit for proper operation. To change the from 1 fps (public mode) to temporal (private mode) cut jumper JP1 strobe signal output JP1 Figure 2: Strobe setting Note: If the strobe is set to temporal (private mode), this device is no longer UL 1971 listed and FM Approved but is UL 1638 listed.
