Genesis Strobe
Table 1: Models
Description Model number
The Genesis Strobe is a visible fire alarm notification appliance
designed for indoor walls. See Table 1 for a list of model
numbers.
The strobe includes a field configurable switch for selecting the
desired candela output and a field configurable jumper for the
strobe signal 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 S526-02. Synchronized operation requires
a separately installed synchronization control module. 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
Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1, Section 32, CAN/ULC S52401, 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 both tabs on the top of
the unit with a small screwdriver and twisting slightly.
2. Slide the candela switch to the desired candela output (15,
Note: Polarity shown in alarm condition
30, 75, or 110 cd) by aligning it with the indicator located
beside the switch. See Figure 2.
3. Set the strobe signal if required. See Figure 3.
4. Connect the strobe terminals to the signal circuit field
wiring. You must observe polarity for the unit to function
properly. See Figure 4.
5. Mount the unit onto a compatible electrical box, making
sure not to over-tighten the mounting screws.
