Edwards Signaling Catalog u Strobes, Horns, Bells, Chimes Field Configurable Ceiling Strobes Genesis Series Pending MEA One or more patents pending. Overview Standard Features Genesis life safety ceiling strobes are small, compact, and attractive visible emergency signaling devices. Protruding no more than 1.6" (41 mm) from the ceiling, Genesis strobes blend with any decor. * Field configurable - no need to remove the device! - 15/30/75/95 cd and 95/115/150/177 cd clear strobe lens models available - Switch settings remain visible even after the unit is installed Thanks to patented breakthrough technology, Edwards Genesis 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. * Unique low-profile design - 30 per cent slimmer profile than comparable signals - Attractive appearance - No visible mounting screws - Available with white or red housings 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 consistent 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 feature 15 to 95, or 95 to 177 candela output (see ordering information), which is selectable with a conveniently-located switch. The candela output setting remains clearly visible even after final installation, 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. Page 1 of 4 * Easy to install - Fits all standard 4" square electrical boxes with plenty of room behind the signal for extra wire - no extension ring or trim plate needed - #18 to #12 AWG terminals - ideal for long runs or existing wiring * Unparalleled performance - Exclusive FullLight strobe technology produces the industry's most even light distribution - Precision timing electronics meet tough synchronizing standards for strobes - Low current draw minimizes system overhead * Approved for public and private mode applications - UL 1971-listed as signaling devices for the hearing impaired - UL 1638-listed as protective visual signaling appliances - UL/ULC listed for ceiling or wall use S85001-0557 D ATA S H E E T Not to be used for installation purposes. Issue 7 Application Dimensions Genesis strobes are UL 1971 or 1638 listed for indoor use. 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. 6.8" dia. (173 mm) 1.0" (25 mm) 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. Installation 0.60"(15 mm) Light output (effective cd) Percent of UL rating versus angle 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.

Field Configuration Wiring Field wiring terminals accommodate #18 to #12 AWG (0.75 mm to 2.5 mm) wiring. Strobes are interconnected with a single pair of wires as shown below. 75 95 Candela switch 30 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. 15 Indicator WARNING: These devices will not operate without electrical power. As fires frequently cause power interruptions, we suggest you discuss further safeguards with your local fire protection specialist.
