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.

Specifications

Operating voltage

Regulated 16 to 33 Vdc, 16 to 33 Vfwr
This device was tested to the Regulated 24 Vdc/fwr
operating voltage limits of 16 V and 33 V. Do not apply
80% and 110% of these values for system operation.

Strobe operating current: See Table 3
Light output: Selectable at 15, 30, 75, and 95 cd

Synchronization: Meets UL 1971 requirements. Maximum

allowed resistance between any two devices is 20

Ω.

Refer to specifications for the synchronization control

module, this strobe, and the control panel to determine

allowed wire resistance.
