The Genesis line of signals are the smallest, most compact audible

and visible emergency signaling devices in the world. About the

size of a deck of playing cards, these devices are designed to

blend with any building environment. Edwards Genesis horn/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 development

employing this new technology have given rise to a new benchmark

in strobe performance – FullLight

The EG1-HDVM series horn/strobes offer 15 to 110 candela output,

which is selectable with a conveniently-located switch on the side

of the device. The EG1-HDVMH series offers 95 to 177 candela

output. The candela output setting remains clearly visible even after

final installation, yet it stays locked in place to prevent unautho-

rized tampering. Its horn output reaches as high as 99 dB and

features a unique multiple frequency tone that results in excellent

wall penetration and an unmistakable warning of danger. Horns 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 5 dB.

When installed with the Cat. No. EG1M Signal Master, strobe

flashes from devices on the same circuit are synchronized to within

10 milliseconds of each other indefinitely. The Signal Master also

permits independent horn control over a single pair of wires. Only

one Signal Master is required per circuit. No separate backbox —

simply snap it onto the back of the first signal on the circuit.
