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.
