The Genesis line of signals are the smallest, most compact au-

dible-visible emergency signaling devices in the world. Genesis

chimes and chime strobes blend with any decor and feature tex-

tured housings in neutral white or traditional fire alarm red.

Genesis strobes do not require bulky specular reflectors. Instead,

an exclusive mask-and-cavity design channels and conditions light

to produce a highly controllable distribution pattern. Intensive devel-

opment efforts employing this new technology have given rise to a

new benchmark in strobe performance – FullLight

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.

Genesis strobes are self-synchronizing, but when installed with an

optional synchronization module, strobe flashes from devices on

the same circuit synchronize to within 10 milliseconds of each other

indefinitely. Chime/Strobes feature 15, 30, 75 or 110 candela output,

selectable with a conveniently-located switch on the bottom of the

device. Settings are clearly visible even after installation.

Genesis chimes produce a pleasing mellow tone. When steady

(non-stroked) voltage is applied, the chime automatically pulses at

60 strokes per minute, or may be field-configured for temporal out-

put. When installed with a EG1M Signal Master Module, the chime

may also be field-configured for coded operation, which enables the

chime output to match the rate that voltage is applied to the circuit.

The chime’s 79 dBA (peak) output level makes this device suitable

for many private mode applications. Chimes may be set for low dB

output with a jumper cut that reduces sound output by about 5 dB.

CURRENT DATA NOTES & 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.

INSTALLATION

FIRE ALARM EQUIPMENT

Genesis chimes and strobes mount to any standard

one-gang surface or flush electrical box. Matching

optional trim plates are used to

cover oversized openings and

can accommodate one-gang, two-

gang, four-inch square, or octago-

nal boxes, and European 100 mm

square.

Genesis Chime-

strobe with optional

trim plate

All Genesis signals come pre-

assembled with captive mounting

screws for easy installation. Two

tabs at the top of the signal unlock the cover to reveal

the mounting hardware. 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

Genesis strobes and chime-strobes may be set for

15, 30, 75, or 110 candela output. The output setting

is changed by simply opening the device and sliding

the switch to the desired setting. The device does

not have to be removed to change the output setting.

The setting remains visible through a small window

on the side of the device after the cover is closed.

Chimes and chime-strobes are factory set for high dB

output. Optional low dB output may be selected by

cutting a jumper on the circuit board. This reduces

the audible output by about 5 dB. A second jumper

cut changes the chime output from the factory set

rate of 60 strokes per minute to three-pulse temporal

output.

Chimes may also be configured for single-stroke

coded operation. This operates the chime once each

time voltage is applied to the circuit. Voltage must

be discontinued and then re-applied to operate the

chime again. These optional coders produce a

predetermined pattern of audible signals. A Genesis

Signal Master is required when chimes are

configured for coded operation.

WIRING

Field wiring terminals accommodate #18 to #12 AWG

(0.75 mm² to 2.5 mm²) wiring. Chimes, strobes, and

combination chime-strobes are interconnected with a

single pair of wires.
