Genesis Ceiling Horn-Strobe Installation Sheet

Description

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

Horn-strobe, 15 to 95 multi-cd, red, with FIRE marking

Field configurable jumper options are available for selecting the desired dB output, temporal or steady horn output, and strobe signal output.

The horn-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.

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 and CAN/ULC-S524, Standard for the Installation of Fire Alarm Systems, and in accordance with the

local authorities having jurisdiction.

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.

To install the horn-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 horn signal, sound output level, and 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.

2. JP2: Strobe signal output: Cut to change from 1 flash per second (public mode) to temporal (private mode)

3. JP3: Horn sound output: Cut to change from high dB to low dB

Note: If the strobe is set to temporal (private mode), this device is no longer UL 1971 or ULC-S526 Listed or FM Approved but is UL 1638 Listed.
