Overview
The Genesis line of fire alarm and mass notification/emergency
communications (ECS/MNS) signals are among the smallest,
most compact audible-visible life safety signaling devices in the
world. About the size of a deck of playing cards, these devices are
designed to blend with any decor.
Thanks to patented breakthrough technology, EDWARDS Genesis strobes do not require bulky specular reflectors and lenses.
Instead, an exclusive cavity design conditions light to produce
a highly controlled distribution pattern. Significant development
efforts employing this new technology have given rise to a new
benchmark in strobe performance – FullLight technology.
FullLight strobe technology produces a smooth light distribution
pattern without the spikes and voids characteristic of specular reflectors. This ensures the entire coverage area receives consistent
illumination from the strobe flash. As a result, Genesis strobes with
FullLight technology go well beyond the UL-1971 and ULC-S526
light distribution requirements.
Genesis strobes and horn-strobes offer selectable candela output
by means of a conveniently-located switch on the side of the
device. Models are also available that offer fixed 15/75 cd output.
The candela output setting remains clearly visible even after final
installation, yet it stays locked in place to prevent unauthorized
tampering.
Genesis ECS/MNS appliances offer emergency signaling with
clear or amber lenses and with optional ALERT housing labels.
They are ideal for applications that require differentiation between
fire alarm and mass notification alerts.
