Genesis EGCS Series Ceiling Speaker Strobes

Genesis LED EGCS Series speakers and speaker-strobes combine high performance output with a sleek low profile design and energy-efficient technology that makes them less expensive to install and operate. High performance LEDs require fewer power supplies, backup power, and batteries. These new appliances are designed with energy-efficiency, and life safety in mind.  

Speakers feature selectable wattage taps, while speaker-strobes allow for both wattage and light output levels to be configured in the field. Both settings remain clearly visible - even after final installation. Speakers are also capable of both 25V and 70V and voltage in a single model with a field selectable switch. All this flexibility allows devices to be easily fine-tuned to exactly how they're needed to perform. All Genesis speakers include a DC blocking capacitor to allow electrical supervision of the audio distribution circuit.

Genesis LED EGCS 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 EGCS Series appliances offer greatly reduced current draw which provides benefits in longer circuit lengths, more devices per circuit, smaller wire gauge and reduced power supply quantities for an installation. 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, EGCS strobes can be mixed on the same circuit and used in the same field of view as Xenon-based strobes. This makes Genesis LED EGCS 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. They also meet NFPA and UL 520Hz requirements for sleeping areas making them ideal for new construction or retrofits. 

EGCS Series speakers produce crisp, clear voice audio output that is highly intelligible over large areas. In an emergency, intelligibility
is critical to life safety. Understanding the content of the message is as important as knowing there is an emergency. Intelligibility is 
measured in Speech Transmission Index and anything above .76 is considered excellent. EGCS Series speakers deliver audio with an
STI of.81 ensuring the message is clear.

Serviceability is another area where EGCS Series appliances shine. The universal room side wiring plate allows for preinstallation and electrical wiring as well as checking continuity with the included diagnostics check bar. EGCS Series devices can then be easily snapped into 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.
