Genesis LED EGC Series Ceiling Mount Notification Devices
Genesis LED EGC Series horns and LED strobes feature a sleek low profile ✔️
✅ design and energy-efficient technology that makes them less expensive to install and operate by reducing overhead. High performance LEDs require fewer power supplies, backup power, and batteries. These new appliances are designed with, energy-efficiency, and life safety in mind.
- Genesis LED EGC Series uses high efficiency optics, combined with patented electronics, to deliver a highly controlled and efficiently focused light distribution pattern in exchange for lower current requirements. Strobes feature field-selectable 15, 30,75, or 115 cd light output.
- Compared with Xenon-type strobes, Genesis LED EGC Series appliances need fewer power supplies and often smaller wire gauge, which lightens conduit requirements. They are also backwards compatible with legacy strobes, so there’s no need to replace all your existing devices to upgrade to new LED technology. In fact, EGC strobes can be mixed on the same circuit and used in the same field of view as Xenon-based strobes. This makes Genesis LED EGC Series ideal for new installations and retrofits alike.
- Field-configurable sound output levels provide the flexibility modern life safety projects demand, while the Genesis LED control protocol keeps multiple strobes on compatible NAC circuits synchronized to well within NFPA 72 requirements
- Serviceability is another area where EGC Series appliances shine. The universal room side wiring plate allows for pre-installation and electrical wiring as well as checking continuity with the included diagnostics check bar. EGC Series devices can then be easily snapped place with the confidence of knowing the wiring is correct. The innovative under-cover diagnostic test points provide easy access to device circuit testing while mounted.

Installation
Genesis EGC horns and strobes mount to the required GP10 room side wiring plate. The GP10 mounting plate is included with the device for convenient pre-installing and pre-wiring. The device can be removed easily the room side wiring plate by pushing up with a screwdriver. The cover can also be removed the device easily with a screwdriver to access the light and sound output settings and a diagnostics test port for voltage testing
Genesis LED EGC Series horns, strobes, and horn-strobes mount to any standard one-gang, two-gang, 4-inch octagon, and 4-inch square electrical box. Matching optional EGCT trim rings are available to cover oversized openings. Optional color matched double-gang surface boxes are also available. Genesis LED EGC series are listed to be both wall mounted or ceiling mounted.
