O° o Combination horn-strobe signals must be installed in accordance O with guidelines established for strobe devices. Strobes Genesis strobes are UL 1971-listed for use indoors as ceiling-or wall-mounted public-mode notification appliances for the hearing impaired. Prevailing codes require strobes to be used where ambi- ent noise conditions exceed specified levels,where occupants use hearing protection,and in areas of public accommodation. Genesis ceiling horn-strobes simply unlatch and twist to open. Consult with your Authority Having Jurisdiction for details. This gains access to mounting screws and the selectable candela switch.The shallow depth of Genesis devices leaves ample room All Genesis strobes exceed UL synchronization requirements behind the signal for extra wiring. Once installed with the cover in (within 10 milliseconds other over a two-hour period)when used place, no mounting screws are visible. with a synchronization source. Synchronization is important in order to avoid epileptic sensitivity. Edwards recommends that these fire alarm horn-strobes always be installed in accordance with the latest recognized edition of NOTE:The flash intensity of some visible signals may not be adequate national and local fire alarm codes. to alert or waken occupants in the protected area. Research indicates that the intensity of strobe needed to awaken 90%of sleeping persons Field Configuration is approximately 100 cd.Edwards recommends that strobes in sleeping Depending on the model, Genesis horn-strobes may be set for 15 rooms be rated at at least 110 cd. to 95, or 95 to 177 candela output(see ordering information).The WARNING:These devices will not operate without electrical power.As output setting is changed by simply opening the device and sliding fires frequently cause power interruptions, further safeguards such as the switch to the desired setting.The horn-strobe does not have backup power supplies may be required. to be removed to change the output setting.The setting remains visible through a small window on the front of the device after the cover is closed. Horns The horn-strobe comes factory set for high dB output. Low dB Genesis horn output reaches as high as 99 dB(peak)and output may be selected by cutting a jumper on the circuit board. features a unique multiple frequency tone that results in excel- This reduces the output by about 5 dB. lent wall penetration and an unmistakable warning of danger.All models may be configured for either coded or non-coded signal circuits.They can also be set for low dB output with a jumper cut that reduces horn output by about 5 dB. Wiring The suggested sound pressure level for each signaling zone used Field wiring terminals accommodate#18 to#12 AWG(0.75 mm2 with alert or alarm signals is at least 15 dB above the average ambient to 2.5 mm2)wiring. Horn/strobes are interconnected with a single sound level,or 5 dB above the maximum sound level having a duration pair of wires as shown below. of at least 60 seconds,whichever is greater,measured 5 feet(1.5 m) above the floor.The average ambient sound level is,A-weighted sound Q pressure measured over a 24-hour period. + + To next Doubling the distance from the signal to the ear will theoretically appliance, result in a 6 dB reduction of the received sound pressure level.
