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 ECS/MNS 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.

Issue 7 Application 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. 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. ECS/MNS Applications Genesis ECS/MNS appliances bring the same high-performance life safety features and unobtrusive design to mass notification applica- tions. Available as standard units with clear or amber lenses with optional ALERT markings, thy are ideal for applications that require differentiation between life safety and ECS/MNS signals. Units are also available (special order) with red, blue or green lenses.

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.957515 30Candela 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: 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. 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.
