Page of 8 Operation The front panel provides an easy-to-use operator’s interface, as well as all the necessary controls for front panel programming. A large back-lit 80-character LCD displays system status, event details, and programming prompts. Large tactile control buttons are easy to see in low light conditions, and bright multi-color LEDs offer at-a-glance status indication. 00:00:00 01/01/07BannerConfigurable Controlbuttons LCDdisplay SystemLEDs SystemLEDs Application The VS1 life safety system is an easy-to-use intelligent solution for small to mid-sized buildings. Advanced analog technology delivers the benefits of quick and uncomplicated system installation, while a clean and easy-to-operatate user interface makes panel operation and system maintenance quick and intuitive. The smart choice Electronic addressing eliminates the tedium of setting dipswitches, and automatic device mapping ensures that each device resides on the system at its correct location. Meanwhile, innovative program- ming features allow the system designer to customize powerful built-in features to precisely suit the needs of the building owner. Versatility built right in Two fully-programmable front panel switch/LED combinations pro- vide an added measure of simplicity. Their slide-in labels take the mystery out of custom applications, and present a clean finished appearance. Perfect for retrofits The VS1 is particularly well-suited to retrofit applications. All connections are made over standard wiring – no shielded cable required. This means that in most situations existing wiring can be used to upgrade a legacy control panel to V-Series technology with- out the expense or disruption of rewiring the entire building. Signals with a difference VS1 NACs are configurable to fully support the advanced signaling features of GE Genesis and Enhanced Integrity notification appli- ances. These devices offer precision synchronization of strobes to UL 1971 standards. For Genesis devices, enabling this feature allows connected horns to be silenced while strobes on the same two-wire circuit continue to flash until the panel is reset. Clear-cut remote annunciation Remote annunciation is a strong suit of the VS1. Up to eight an- nunciators can be installed on a single system. Compatible annun- ciators include a range of LED and LCD models that provide zone or point annunciation, as well as common control capabilities. The VS1 also supports graphic annunciation with optional RA Graphic Annunicator interface modules. Each interface provides common control, indicators, and 32 LEDS. Consult the Ordering Information section for details. A complete line of accessories The VS1 life safety system is supported by a complete line of intelligent detectors, modules and related equipment. Consult the Ordering Information section for details. Programming VS1 life safety systems are simple to set up, quick to program, and easy to maintain. The auto programming feature quickly gets the panel operational using factory default settings. Basic zone and point settings can be programmed easily through the front panel interface, so the system is up and running in no time. For more advanced system configuration and correlation groups programming, the VS1 interfaces to a PC running compatible VS-CU software. This option offers full system configuration in the familiar Windows® operating environment. Connection is typically made to a laptop through the panel’s optional modem or Ethernet port, which can also be used to connect a system printer. Among the many advanced features of the VS1 is its optional net- work card. This module provides a standard 10/100 Base T Ether- net® network connection that permits access to the control panel from any remote location with the correct communications proto- cols. The connection can be used to download to the panel from the VS-CU, or upload and view system reports using the VS-CU. Available system reports include: • Correlation groups • Device details • Device maintenance • History • Internal status • System configuration • System status • Walk test • Dialer Data Sheet M85005-0131 Issue 1 Not to be used for installation purposes.

Issue 1 Vigilant Catalog X Intelligent Initiating 07-09-10Overview Edwards Vigilant brand intelligent analog detectors are meticu- lously engineered to deliver high-perfor mance features, superb reliability, and unbeatable quality. With their highly stable design, these detectors resist air movement caused by heating and air conditioning, making them reliable performers ideally suited to modern building interiors. The installation and maintenance advantages of Vigilant brand intelligent detectors add value throughout their service life. The twist-and-lock design makes short work of installation and main- tenance opera tions. A plastic breakout on the detector housing optionally pre vents removal from the base except with a special tool. A bright, easy-to-see LED ﬂashes red when the detector is in alarm, thus eliminating much of the guesswork when responding to front-panel indications. • The V-HFD is ﬁxed-temperature heat detector with an alarm threshold of 135° F (57° C). • The V-HRD is a rate-of-rise heat detector calibrated for 15°F (8°C) per minute. • The V-PHS houses an optical sensing chamber that detects smoke, as well as a ﬁxed-temperature sensor that detects heat. The detector analyzes data from both sensors to deter- mine when an alarm is initiated. • The V-PS houses an optical sensing chamber that detects smoke. All detectors feature comprehensive self-diagnostic capability. V-PS and V-PHS optical detectors continuously adjust their sen- sitivity to compensate for changes in the environment such as the presence of dirt, smoke, temperature, and humidity. These detec- tors issue a dirty sensor warning when they reach their preset limit. Standard Features • Optical, heat, and multisensor models available • Compatible standard, relay, isolator, and audible bases • Field replaceable optical chamber • Electronic Addressing including mapping location • Bases mount to standard North American two-gang or 4" square electrical boxes • Dual color LED provides at-a-glance alarm indication • Tamper-resistant feature • Self diagnostic capability with on-board storage of results • Optical detectors feature automatic rate compensated sensitiv- ity adjustment, as well as dirty sensor warnings • Manufactured to strict international ISO 9001 standards • Assembled using surface mount technology for RF resistance • Conformally coated components resist dust and humidity • Automatic detector test • Low Proﬁle Design Intelligent Detectors and Bases Detectors: V-PS, V-PHS, V-HFD, V-HRD Bases: B4U, RB4U, IB4U, SB4U Page 2 of 6 D A T A S H E E T M85001-0592 Not to be used for installation purposes. Issue 1 Heat Detectors The V-Series heat detectors are capable of performing compre- hensive self-diagnostics and storing the results. Thanks to advanced thermistor technology, V-Series heat detectors are ideal for sensing fast, ﬂaming ﬁres and for applications where smoke detection is inappropriate. They are particularly well-suited to areas such as kitchens and shower rooms, where the ambient temperature is relatively constant, but where steam and smoke are present. V-HRD Rate-of-Rise Heat Detector provides a 15°F (8°C) per minute rate-of-rise heat sensor for the detection of heat due to ﬁre. The heat sensor monitors the temperature of the air and deter- mines whether an alarm should be initiated. V-HFD Fixed Temperature Heat Detector provides a 135°F (57°C) ﬁxed-temperature heat sensor for the detection of heat due to ﬁre. The heat sensor monitors the temperature of the air and deter- mines whether an alarm should be initiated. Optical and combination detectors V-Series optical detectors continuously adjust their sensitivity based on ﬂuctuating environmental conditions such as the pres- ence of dirt, smoke, humidity, or changes in temperature, and notiﬁes the panel of any changes in sensor sensitivity. When the detector has adjusted its sensitivity to its maximum limit, it issues a dirty sensor warning, allowing enough of a margin for maintenance personnel to clean the detector before it goes into trouble condi- tion. These detectors perform comprehensive self-diagnostics and store these details in their on-board memory. V-PHS Optical/Fixed Temperature Detector houses an optical sensing chamber that detects smoke, as well as a ﬁxed-temper- ature sensor that detects heat. The detector analyzes data from both sensors to determine when an alarm is initiated. This com- bines the suitability of optical sensing for slow burning ﬁres with the sensitivity of ﬁxed-temperature detection for fast ﬂaming ﬁres to arrive at a solution that responds reliably to the widest range of ﬁre types. A sophisticated algorithm processes data from both sensors over time so that an alarm is only reported when conditions precisely match the signature of a ﬁre. This eliminates the shortcomings of single-sensor optical and heat detection, and signiﬁcantly reduces the risk of nuisance alarms. V-PS Optical Smoke Detector uses an optical sensing chamber to detect smoke. The detector analyzes data gathered by the sen- sor to determine when an alarm is initiated. Thanks to its high-performance optical sensing chamber, the V-PS responds quickly and reliably to a wide range of ﬁre types, espe- cially slow burn ing ﬁres fuelled by combustibles typically found in modern multi-use buildings. The V-PS detects extremely small particles and triggers an alarm at the ﬁrst sign of smoke. LED Indication V-Series detectors provide a bicolor status LED: • Normal: Green LED ﬂashes • Alarm/active: Red LED ﬂashes Detector Bases Detector Trim ring Gasket 6-32 screws Base plate Compatible electrical box Connect the detector to the base by rotating the detector clock- wise until it snaps into the locked position. The head can be removed by turning it counterclockwise. Breakaway tab If the head must lock to the base, break away the locking tab shown below using a pair of pliers. To then remove the detector head, insert a small screwdriver into the slot on the side of the base and press in while simultaneously turning the detector head counterclockwise.

The base can operate as an independent local alarm, or as part of a zone or system alarm with synchronized audible output. Depending on the system supporting the device loop, the base can operate as follows: • It can follow the state of the device it supports • It can be controlled and conﬁgured for other operating modes through programming. The SB4U is ﬁeld-conﬁgurable for output tone (steady or temporal) and output volume (low dBA or high dBA). The base must be con- nected to a continuous voltage whether the output tone is set to steady or temporal. The base does not require a separate address because it shares the address of the device it is connected to. 6/&6/& $8;B5,6(5$8;B5,6(5 6/&6/& $8;B5,6(5$8;B5,6(5 1.

Page 1 of 4 GE Security Data Sheet M85001-0279 Issue 8 Manual Pull Stations GSA-M270, GSA-M270P, GSA-278 Overview The GSA-M270 and GSA-M278 series Manual Pull Stations are part of GE Security’s Signature Series system. The GSA-M270 Fire Alarm Manual Pull Stations feature our very familiar teardrop shape. They are made from die-cast zinc and ﬁ nished with red epoxy pow- der-coat paint complemented by aluminum colored stripes and markings. With positive pull-lever operation, one pull on the station handle breaks the glass rod and turns in a positive alarm, ensuring protection plus fool-proof operation. Presignal models (GSA-M270P) are equipped with a general alarm (GA) keyswitch for applications where two stage operation is required. The up-front highly visible glass rod discourages tampering, but is not required for proper operation. GE Security’s double action single stage GSA-M278 station is a contemporary style manual station made from durable red colored lexan. To initiate an alarm, ﬁ rst lift the upper door marked “LIFT THEN PULL HANDLE”, then pull the alarm handle. Standard Features Note: Some features described here may not be supported by all control systems. Check your control panel’s Installation and Operation Guide for details. Traditional familiar appearance GSA-M270 models feature our familiar teardrop design with simple positive pull action and sturdy die-cast metal body. One stage (GA), two stage (pre-signal), and double action models GSA-M270 models are available for one or two stage alarm systems. The single stage double action GSA-M278 features a rugged Lexan housing with keyed reset mechanism. • • MEA Patented Break glass operation An up-front visible glass rod on the GSA-M270 discourages tampering.

Page 2 of 4 Figure 4. Single Stage Systems Figure 5. Two Stage Systems Application The operating characteristics of the fire alarm stations are deter- mined by their sub-type code or “Personality Code”. NORMALLY- OPEN ALARM - LATCHING (Pesonality Code 1) is assigned by the factory; no user configuration is required. The device is configured for Class B IDC operation. An ALARM signal is sent to the loop con- troller when the station’s pull lever is operated. The alarm condition is latched at the station. Compatibility Signature Series manual stations are compatible only with GE Secu- rity’s Signature Loop Controller. Warnings & Cautions This device will not operate without electrical power. As fires fre- quently cause power interruption, we suggest you discuss further safeguards with your local fire protection specialist. Testing & Maintenance To test (or reset) the station simply open the station and operate the exposed switch. The GSA-M270 series are opened with a tool; the GSA-M278 requires the key which is supplied with that station. The station’s automatic self-diagnosis identifies when it is defec- tive and causes a trouble message. The user-friendly maintenance program shows the current state of each Signature series device and other pertinent messages. Single devices may be deactivated temporarily, from the control panel. Availability of maintenance features is dependent on the fire alarm system used. Scheduled maintenance (Regular or Selected) for proper system operation should be planned to meet the requirements of the Au- thority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ). Refer to current NFPA 72 and ULC CAN/ULC 536 standards. Wiring Notes 1 Refer to Signature Loop Controller manual for maximum wire distance. 2. All wiring is power limited and supervised. Typical Wiring The fire alarm station’s terminal block accepts #18 AWG (0.75mm2) to #12 AWG (2.5mm2) wire sizes. See Signature Loop Controller cata- log sheet for detailed wiring requirement specifications. Data Sheet M85001-0279 Issue 8 Not to be used for installation purposes. Page of 4 Installation Single-stage Signature Series fire alarm manual pull stations mount to North American 2½ inch (64 mm) deep 1-gang boxes. Two stage presignal (270P) models require 1½ inch (38 mm) deep 4-inch square boxes with 1-gang, ½-inch raised covers. Openings must be angular. Rounded openings are not acceptable. Recommended box: Steel City Model 52-C-13; in Canada, use Iberville Model CI-52-C-49-1/2. All models include terminals are suited for #12 to #18 AWG (2.5 mm2 to 0.75 mm2) wire size. GE Security recommends that these fire alarm stations be installed according to latest recognized edition of national and local fire alarm codes. Electronic Addressing: The loop controller electronically addresses each manual station, saving valuable time during system commission- ing. Setting complicated switches or dials is not required. Each station has its own unique serial number stored in its on-board memory. The loop controller identifies each device on the loop and assigns a “soft” address to each serial number. If desired, the stations can be addressed using the SIGA-PRO Signature Program/Service Tool.

Issue 8 Vigilant Catalog u Intelligent Input-Output 06-27-13Overview The GSA-CT1 Single Input Module, GSA-CT1HT High Tempera- ture Single Input Module and GSA-CT2/GSA-MCT2 Dual Input Modules are intelligent analog addressable devices used to con- nect one or two Class B normally-open Alarm, Supervisory, or Monitor type dry contact Initiating Device Circuits (IDC). The actual function of these modules is determined by the “personal- ity code” selected by the installer. This code is downloaded to the module from the Signature loop controller during system configura- tion. The input modules gather analog information from the initiating devices connected to them and convert it into digital signals. The module’s on-board microprocessor analyzes the signal and decides whether or not to input an alarm. The GSA-CT1, GSA-CT1HT and GSA-CT2 mount to standard North American 1-gang electrical boxes, making them ideal for lo- cations where only one module is required. Separate I/O and data loop connections are made to each module. The GSA-CT1HT module operates at an expanded temperature range of 32 ºF to 158 ºF (0 ºC to 70 ºC) for those applications requiring more extreme environmental temperature variation. The GSA-MCT2 is part of the UIO family of plug-in Signature Series modules. It functions identically to the GSA-CT2, but takes advantage of the modular flexibility and easy installation that characterizes all UIO modules. Two- and six-module UIO mother- boards are available. All wiring connections are made to terminal blocks on the motherboard. UIO assemblies may be mounted in Edwards enclosures. Standard Features • Multiple applications Including Alarm, Alarm with delayed latching (retard) for water- flow applications, Supervisory, and Monitor. The installer selects one of four “personality codes” to be downloaded to the mod- ule through the loop controller. • GSA-CT1HT rated for high temperature environments Suitable for attic installation and monitoring high temperature heat detectors. • Plug-in (UIO) or standard 1-gang mount UIO versions allow quick installation where multiple modules are required. The 1-gang mount version is ideal for remote loca- tions that require a single module. • Automatic device mapping Signature modules transmit information to the loop controller regarding their circuit locations with respect to other Signature devices on the wire loop. • Electronic addressing Programmable addresses are downloaded from the loop con- troller, a PC, or the Signature Program/Service Tool. There are no switches or dials to set. • Stand-alone operation The module makes decisions and inputs an alarm from initiat- ing devices connected to it even if the loop controller’s polling interrogation stops.

Issue 8 Installation GSA-CT1, GSA-CT1HT and GSA-CT2: modules mount to North American 2½ inch(64 mm) deep 1-gang boxes and 1½ inch (38 mm) deep 4 inch square boxes with 1-gang covers and GSA-MP mounting plates. The terminals are suited for #12 to #18 AWG (2.5 mm2 to 0.75 mm2) wire size. Application The duty performed by the GSA-CT1 and GSA-CT2/MCT2 is de- termined by their sub-type code or “Personality Code”. The code is selected by the installer depending upon the desired application and is downloaded from the loop controller. One personality code can be assigned to the GSA-CT1. Two per- sonality codes can be assigned to the GSA-CT2/MCT2. Codes 1, 2, 3 and 4 can be mixed on GSA-CT2/MCT2 modules only. For example, personality code 1 can be assigned to the first address (circuit A) and code 4 can be assigned to the second address (circuit B). NORMALLY-OPEN ALARM - LATCHING (Personality Code 1) - Assign to one or both circuits. Configures either circuit A or B or both for Class B normally open dry contact initiating devices such as Pull Stations, Heat Detectors, etc. An ALARM signal is sent to the loop controller when the input contact is closed. The alarm condition is latched at the module. NORMALLY-OPEN ALARM - DELAYED LATCHING (Person- ality Code 2) - Assign to one or both circuits. Configures either circuit A or B or both for Class B normally-open dry contact initiat- ing devices such as Waterflow Alarm Switches. An ALARM signal is sent to the loop controller when the input contact is closed for approximately 16 seconds. The alarm condition is latched at the module. NORMALLY-OPEN ACTIVE - NON-LATCHING (Personality Code 3) - Assign to one or both circuits. Configures either circuit A or B or both for Class B normally-open dry contact monitoring input such as from Fans, Dampers, Doors, etc. An ACTIVE signal is sent to the loop controller when the input contact is closed. The active condition is not latched at the module. NORMALLY-OPEN ACTIVE - LATCHING (Personality Code 4) - Assign to one or both circuits. Configures either circuit A or B or both for Class B normally open dry contact monitoring input such as from Supervisory and Tamper Switches. An ACTIVE signal is sent to the loop controller when the input contact is closed. The active condition is latched at the module.

Signature Series Overview The Signature Series intelligent analog-addressable system from Edwards Security is an entire family of multi-sensor detectors and mounting bases, multiple-function input and output modules, network and non-network control panels, and user-friendly main- tenance and service tools. Analog information from equipment connected to Signature devices is gathered and converted into digital signals. An onboard microprocessor in each Signature de- vice measures and analyzes the signal and decides whether or not to input an alarm. The microprocessor in each Signature device provides four additional benefits – Self-diagnostics and History Log, Automatic Device Mapping, Stand-alone Operation and Fast, Stable Communication. Self-diagnostics and History Log – Each Signature Series device constantly runs self-checks to provide important mainte- nance information. The results of the self-check are automatically updated and permanently stored in its non-volatile memory. This information is accessible for review any time at the control panel, PC, or using the Signature Program/Service Tool. Automatic Device Mapping –The Signature Data Control- ler (SDC) learns where each device’s serial number address is installed relative to other devices on the circuit. The SDC keeps a map of all Signature Series devices connected to it. The Signature Series Data Entry Program also uses the mapping feature. With interactive menus and graphic support, the wired circuits be- tween each device can be examined. Layout or “as-built” drawing information showing branch wiring (T-taps), device types and their address are stored on disk for printing hard copy. #6 Flat washers 6-32Self-tapping screws UIO Motherboard Plug-in (UIO)Module Captive screws Cabinet or electrical enclosure Electronic Addressing - The loop controller electronically ad- dresses each module, saving valuable time during system com- missioning. Setting complicated switches or dials is not required. Each module has its own unique serial number stored in its on-board memory. The loop controller identifies each device on the loop and assigns a “soft” address to each serial number. If desired, the modules can be addressed using the Signature Pro- gram/Service Tool. Edwards recommends that this module be installed according to latest recognized edition of national and local fire alarm codes.

Issue 9 Vigilant Catalog u Strobes, Horns, Bells, Chimes 05-19-11Overview Genesis ceiling horn-strobes are small, compact, and attractive audible-visible emergency signaling devices. Protruding no more than 1.6” (41 mm) from the ceiling, Genesis horn-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. Depending on the model, Genesis horn-strobes feature 15 to 95, or 95 to 177 candela output (see ordering information), which is selectable with a conveniently-located switch on the front of the device. The candela output setting is clearly visible even after final installation, yet it remains locked in place to prevent unauthorized movement after installation. Genesis horn-strobes feature textured housings in architecturally neu- tral white or eye-catching fire alarm red. An ingenious iconographic symbol indicates the purpose of the device. This universal symbol is code-compliant and is easily recognized by all building occu- pants regardless of what language they speak. Models with “FIRE” markings are also available. Standard Features • Field configurable – no need to remove the device! – 15/30/75/95 cd and 95/115/150/177 cd models available – Switch settings remain visible even after the unit is installed – Low/high dB settings • Unique low-profile design – 30 per cent slimmer profile than comparable signals – No visible mounting screws – Available with white or red housings • 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 – Pre-assembled with captive hardware – no loose pieces – #18 to #12 AWG terminals – ideal for long runs or existing wir- ing • Unparalleled performance – Exclusive FullLight strobe technology produces the industry’s most even light distribution – Single high-efficiency microprocessor controls both horn and strobe – Low current draw minimizes system overhead – Independent horn control provided over a single pair of wires – Highly regulated in-rush current allows the maximum number of strobes on a circuit – 100 dB peak – multiple frequency tone improves wall penetration Field Configurable Ceiling Horn -Strobes Genesis Series One or more patents pending.

Issue 9 Application Genesis strobes are UL 1971-listed for use indoors as ceiling- mounted public-mode notification appliances for the hearing impaired. Prevailing codes require strobes to be used where ambi- ent noise conditions exceed 105 dBA (87dBA in Canada), where occupants use hearing protection, and in areas of public accom- modation as defined in the Americans with Disabilities Act (see application notes – USA). Combination horn-strobe signals must be installed in accordance with guidelines established for strobe devices. Strobes Genesis strobes are UL 1971-listed for use indoors as wall-mounted public-mode notification appliances for the hearing impaired. Prevail- ing 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 other over a two-hour period) when used with a synchronization source. Synchronization is important in order to avoid epileptic sensitivity. NOTE: The flash intensity of some visible signals may not be adequate to alert or waken occupants in the protected area. Research indicates that the intensity of strobe needed to awaken 90% of sleeping persons is approximately 100 cd. Edwards recommends that strobes in sleeping rooms be rated at at least 110 cd. WARNING: These devices will not operate without electrical power. As fires frequently cause power interruptions, further safeguards such as backup power supplies may be required. Horns Genesis horn output reaches as high as 99 dB (peak) and features a unique multiple frequency tone that results in excel- lent wall penetration and an unmistakable warning of danger. All models may be configured for either coded or non-coded signal circuits. They can also be set for low dB output with a jumper cut that reduces horn output by about 5 dB. The suggested sound pressure level for each signaling zone used with alert or alarm signals is at least 15 dB above the average ambient sound level, or 5 dB above the maximum sound level having a duration of at least 60 seconds, whichever is greater, measured 5 feet (1.5 m) above the floor. The average ambient sound level is, A-weighted sound pressure measured over a 24-hour period. Doubling the distance from the signal to the ear will theoretically result in a 6 dB reduction of the received sound pressure level. The actual effect depends on the acoustic properties of materials in the space. A 3 dBA difference represents a barely noticeable change in volume. 1.0" (25 mm) 6.8"dia. (173 mm) 0.60"(15mm) Dimensions Wiring Field wiring terminals accommodate #18 to #12 AWG (0.75 mm² to 2.5 mm²) wiring. Horn/strobes are interconnected with a single pair of wires as shown below. Installation and Mounting All models are intended for indoor wall or ceiling applications only. Horn-strobes mount to any flush North-American 4” square electrical box. Genesis ceiling horn-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. Edwards recommends that these fire alarm horn-strobes always be installed in accordance with the latest recognized edition of national and local fire alarm codes. Field Configuration Depending on the model, Genesis horn-strobes may be set for 15 to 95, or 95 to 177 candela output (see ordering information). The output setting is changed by simply opening the device and sliding the switch to the desired setting. The horn-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. The horn-strobe comes factory set for high dB output. Low dB output may be selected by cutting a jumper on the circuit board. This reduces the output by about 5 dB. Page 3 of 4 D A T A S H E E T M85001-0559 Not to be used for installation purposes. Issue 9 Current Draw Notes and Comments 1. Current values are shown in mA. 2. UL Nameplate Rating can vary from Typical Current due to measurement methods and instruments used. 3. Edwards recommends using the Typical Current for system design including NAC and Power Supply loading and voltage drop calculations. 4. Use the Vdc RMS current ratings for filtered power supply and battery AH calculations. Use the Vfwr RMS current ratings for unfiltered power supply calculations. 5. Fuses, circuit breakers and other overcurrent protection devices are typically rated for current in RMS values. Most of these devices operate based upon the heating affect of the current flowing through the device. The RMS current (not the mean current) determines the heating affect and therefore, the trip and hold threshold for those devices. 6. Our industry has used ‘mean’ currents over the years. However, UL will direct the industry to use the 2004 RMS values in the future.

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. Field Configurable Ceiling Strobes Genesis Series One or more patents pending. 7125-1483: 0161 S5389 Page 2 of 4 D A T A S H E E T M85001-0557 Not to be used for installation purposes. 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.
