Edwards Signaling Genesis Chime User Manual
Genesis Chime
Product information
The Genesis Chime is an audible fire alarm notification
appliance designed for indoor walls. See Table 1 for a list of
model numbers.
The chime includes field configurable jumper options for
selecting the desired dB output, steady or temporal chime
output, and constant non-coded voltage or single-stroke coded
voltage operation. A Genesis Signal Master is required when
chimes are configured for coded operation. See Table 2 for a
list of compatible synchronization modules.
Install this device in accordance with applicable requirements
in the latest editions of the NFPA codes and standards and in
accordance with the local authorities having jurisdiction.

Caution: Electrical supervision requires the wire run to be
broken at each terminal. Do not loop the signaling circuit field
wires around the terminals.
To install the chime:
1. Remove the cover by depressing both tabs on the top of
the unit with a small screwdriver and twisting slightly.
2. Set the chime signal, sound output level, and desired
operation settings. See Figure 1.
3. Connect the chime terminals to the signal circuit field
wiring. You must observe polarity for the unit to function
properly.
For constant non-coded voltage operation, see Figure 2.
For single-stroke coded voltage operation, see Figure 3.
4. Mount the unit onto a compatible electrical box, making
sure not to over tighten the mounting screws.
5. Replace the cover by aligning at the bottom, then
snapping in at the top.
6. Test the unit for proper operation.
Maintenance
This unit is not serviceable or repairable. Should the unit fail to
operate, contact the supplier for replacement.
