Protruding no more than 1.6” (41 mm) from the ceiling, Genesis strobes blend with any decor. Thanks to patented breakthrough technology, Edwards Gen- esis strobes do not require bulky specular reflectors and lenses. Instead, an exclusive cavity design conditions light to produce a highly controlled distribution pattern. Significant development efforts employing this new technology have given rise to a new benchmark in strobe performance – FullLight technology. FullLight strobe technology produces a smooth light distribution pattern without the spikes and voids characteristic of specular reflectors. This ensures the entire coverage area receives consis- tent illumination from the strobe flash. As a result, Genesis strobes with FullLight technology go well beyond the minimum UL-required “cross” pattern, significantly exceeding UL-1971 and ULC-S526 light distribution requirements. Depending on the model, clear lens Genesis ceiling strobes fea- ture 15 to 95, or 95 to 177 candela output (see ordering informa- tion), which is selectable with a conveniently-located switch. The candela output setting remains clearly visible even after final instal- lation, yet it is locked in place to prevent unauthorized movement after installation. Genesis appliances offer emergency signaling with clear or amber lenses and with optional ALERT housing labels. They are ideal for applications that require differentiation between life safety and mass notification alerts. Field Configurable Ceiling Strobes Genesis Series One or more patents pending.

Prevailing codes require strobes to be used where ambient noise conditions exceed specified levels, where occupants use hearing protection, and in areas of public accommodation. Consult with your Authority Having Jurisdiction for details. All Genesis strobes exceed UL synchronization requirements (within 10 milliseconds over a two-hour period) when used with a synchronization source. Synchronization for multiple strobe lights in a single field of view is required.

(173 mm) 0.60"(15 mm) Dimensions Installation All models are intended for indoor applications only. Strobes mount to any flush North-American 4” square electrical box, 21 /8” (54 mm) deep. Genesis ceiling strobes simply unlatch and twist to open. This gains access to mounting screws and the selectable candela switch. The shallow depth of Genesis devices leaves ample room behind the signal for extra wiring. Once installed with the cover in place, no mounting screws are visible. 95 75 15 30 Candela switch Indicator Field Configuration Depending on the model, Genesis ceiling speaker-strobes have multi-candela output (see ordering information). The output setting is changed by simply opening the device and sliding the switch to the desired setting. The strobe does not have to be removed to change the output setting. The setting remains visible through a small window on the front of the device after the cover is closed. WARNING:Thesedeviceswillnotoperatewithoutelectricalpower.Asfiresfrequently cause power interruptions, we suggest you discuss further safeguards with your local fire protection specialist. Wiring Field wiring terminals accommodate #18 to #12 AWG (0.75 mm² to 2.5 mm²) wiring. Strobes are interconnected with a single pair of wires as shown below.
