Description
The Genesis High Candela Ceiling Strobe is a fire alarm
notification appliance designed for indoor ceilings and walls.
See Table 1 for a list of model numbers.

Number
-cd,
-cd,
A field configurable jumper option is available for selecting the
desired strobe signal output.
The strobe includes a field configurable switch for selecting the
desired candela output. The candela output setting is locked in
place and remains visible after final installation.
This strobe features an enhanced synchronization circuit to
comply with the latest requirements of UL 1971 Signaling
Devices for the Hearing Impaired and the latest Canadian
standard CAN/ULC-S526. Synchronized operation requires a
separately installed synchronization control module. See
Table 2 for a list of compatible synchronization modules.

Installation
WARNING: To reduce the risk of shock, disconnect all power
and allow 10 minutes for stored energy to dissipate before
handling.
Caution: Electrical supervision requires the wire run to be
broken at each terminal. Do not loop the signaling circuit field
wires around the terminals.
Install this device in accordance with applicable requirements
in the latest editions of NFPA 72, National Fire Alarm and
Signaling Code, and the CAN/ULC-S524, Standard for the
Installation of Fire Alarm Systems, and in accordance with the
local authorities having jurisdiction.
To install the strobe:
1. Remove the cover by depressing the tab on the side of the
unit with a small screwdriver. Turn the cover
counterclockwise to release.
2. Set the strobe signal to the desired settings. See Figure 2.
3. Connect the strobe terminals to the signal circuit field
wiring. You must observe polarity for the unit to function
properly. See Figure 4.
4. Slide the candela switch to the desired candela output (95,
115, 150, or 177 cd) by aligning it with the indicator below
the switch. See Figure 1.
5. Mount the unit onto a compatible electrical box. See
Figure 5.
6. Replace the cover by positioning the alignment arrows
together and rotating the cover clockwise.
7. Test the unit for proper operation.
