Application
The 3-LCD module mounts to the local rail over the nodes Central
Processing Unit Module (3-CPU). The 3-LCD module is optional in
any network node.
Ensuring information clarity the 3-LCD uses a backlit high contrast
supertwist graphical display. Eight lines of 21 characters provide
the room needed to convey emergency information in a useful format
The 3-LCD always displays the last highest priority event even
when the user is viewing other message queues. Further message
fiexlbitity isprovided with EST3's message routing abihty. Messag-
es from a node can display atevery node on thenetwork or mes-
sages can route to specific nodes only. Routing canbe initiated at
a specific time/shift change. Thera Ls no need to have messages
display in areas that are not affected by an event.
The 3-LCD candisplay messages in English, Spanish, French,
and Russian. The bilingual display lets the operator select between
either ol' two languages. Consult your representative for available
language combinations..
The EST3 system configures for Proprietary, Local or EN54 market
operations. The mode of operation is selected through the System
Definition Utility (SW) which may adjust the following operations
slightly to fit the system operation selected.
LEDs and. Switches
Further enhancing the 3-LCD user interface are easy to•read and
understand lights and switches. Al functions are laid out In a logi-
cal order. At the top of the 3-LCD are five system status LEDs.
Here determining the general condition of the system is easy.

Below the general status LEDs are located four, LED /Switch
common controls. The versatitity of EST3 allows system design-
ers to define the features as affecting a domain (defined group of
nodes) or as global (affects all nodes) across the network. This
feature is very useful when configuring systems with multiple build-
ings on one network. As an example, operating the reset in one
building may have adverse effect in other buildhgs. With EST3
having operational differences between buildings on the same
network is' not a problem.
Pressing. Reset starts the systems reset operation. The yellow.
LED has three flash rates during reset. The LED flashes fast during
the smoke power down phase of' reset, flashes slow during the re-
start phase, and; tuns an steady for the restore! phase The Reset
LED turns off when the system is normal.
Pressing Alarm Silence turns off all Notification Appliance Circuits
defined as audible. The yellow LED turns on when silence is active
via the Alarm Silence switch or via alarm silence software timers.
Pressing Panel Silence turns tiff the systern's intemalaudible
signal. The yellow LED turns on when panel silence is active. The,
EST3 panel buzzer has user programmable signal rates for alarm,
supervisory, trouble and monitor conditions.
Pressing Drill turns on the drill LED and allsignals sound evacua-
tion. Drill does not activate city tie connections. Auxiliary relays wilt
not activate unless programmed to do so with drill.
In the center of the 3-LCD is the
Liquid Crystal Display. In the
normal condition the date and
time plus a definable system title
display on the LCD. The last fine of
the display gives an alarm history
This total equals the number of
times the system has enteredthe damn state from the normal state.
When active events are on display, the LCD formats into four
logical windows.

queues an emergency user doesnot waste time scrolling through
a mixed event list looking for alarms or confusing an alarm mes-
sage with other message types.

EN54 Compliance
In 1998 the British -based Loss Prevention Certification Board
(LPCB) certified. EST3 control panels and power supplies as hav-
ing surpassed the requirements of the pivotal EN54 standard,
parts two and four. LPCB Certificate#257c for EST3 fire alarm
control panels marked the first such certification since the strin-
gent EN54-2 : 1997 and EN54-4 : 1997 were published by the
European Committee for Standardization (CEN). In order to meet
these standards,display and control functions have undergone
slight modifications for the EN54 marketplace. These differences
arehighlighted below. NI other control and annunciation featires:
remain unchanged.
Note: EN54-2:1997+A1 and EN54-4:1997+A1:2002+A2 approval
is pending.

Overview
The Booster Power Supply (BPS) is a UL 864, 9th Edition Bested
power supply. It is a 24 Vdc filtered -regulated. and supervised
unit that can easily be configured to provide additional notification
appliance circuits (NACs) or auxiliary power for Mass Notification/
Emergency Communication {MNECC), as well as life safety,.secudty,
.and access control applications,
The BPS contains the circuitry to monitor and charge Internal
or external. batteries, Its steel enclosure has room for up to two
10 ampere -hour batteries.. For access control -only applications,
the BPS can support batteries totaling up to 65 ampere-hoursin
an external enclosure. The BPS has four Class B (convertible to
two Class A) NACs. These can be activated in one or two groups
from the BPS's unique dual input circuits.

Application
The BPS provides additional power and circuits for notification ap-
pliances and other 24 Vdc loads. It is listed for indoor dry locations
and can easily be installed where needed.
Fault conditions are indicated on the on -board diagnostic LEDs,
opening the BPS input sense circuit and the trouble relay Of
programmed), While thisprovides indication to the host system,
the BPS can still be activated upon command. A separate AC
Fail contactis available on the BPS circuit board, which can be
programmed for trouble or AC Fail. There are seven on -board
diagnostic LEDs:. one for each NAC fault, one for battery fault, one
for ground fault, and one for AC power.
The unique dual -input activation circuits of the BPS- can be acti-
vated by any voltage from 6 to 45 VDC'(filtered-regulated) or 11
to 33 Vdc (full -wave rectified, unfiltered). The first input circuit can
be configured to activate 1-4 of The four possible outputs. The
second input circuit can be configured to control circuits 3 and 4.
WI Tel outputs are configured for auxiliary operation, these circuits
can be configured to stay on or automatically deactivate 30 sec-
onds. after AC power is lost. This feature makes these circuits ideal
for door holder applications. The BPS also has a separate 200
mA 24 Vdc output that can be used to power Internal activation
modules.
BPS NACs can be configured for 3-3-3 temporal or continuous
output. California temporal rate outputs are also available on cer-
tain models: This makes the BPS ideal for applications requiring.
signaling rates that are not available from the main system.
In addition to the internally generated signal rates, the BPS can
also be configured to follow the coded signal rate of the main
system NACs. This allows for the seamless expansion of existing
NACs.
The. BPS enclosure has mounting brackets for up to three Signa
ture modules to the right of the circuit board.

Overview
The Signature Series Model SIGA-PS. Intelligent Photoelectric Smoke
Detector gathers anbtag information from its smoke sensing ele-
ment and converts it into digital signals. The detector's on -board
microprocessor measures and analyzes these signals. It compares
the information to historical readings and time patterns to make
on olorm decision. Digitol filters remove signal patterns that ore not
typicoiof fires. Unwanted dorms ore virtually eliminated.
The microprocessor in each detector provides four additional benefits
- Self -diagnostics and History Log, Automatic Device Mopping.
Stand -atone Operation and Fast, Stable Communication.
Self -diagnostics and History Log - Eoch Signature Series detec-
tor constantly runs self -checks to provide important maintenance
information. The results of the self -check are automatically updated
and permanently stored in the detector's non-volatile memory
Automatic Device Mapping - The loop controller learns where each
device's serial number addressis installed relative to other devices
on the circuit. The mopping feature provides supervision of each
device's installed location to prevent a detector from being rein-
stalled (after cleaning etc.) in o different locution from where it wos
origfr olty.
Stand-alone Operation - A decentralized alarm decision by the
detector is guaranteed. Onboard intelligence permits the detector
to operate in stand-alone mode: If loop controller CPU communica-
tions fail for more than four seconds, all devices on that circuit go
into stond-olone mode. The circuit acts like c conventional alarm
receiving circuit.

Testing & Maintenance
Each detector automatically identifies when it is dirty or defective
and causes a "dirty detectors message. The detector's sensitiv-
ity meosurement can also be transmitted to the loop controller. A
sensitivity report can be printed to satisfy NFPA sensitivity measure-
rneniswhich must be conducted at the end of the first year and
every two years: thereafter.
The user-friendly mointenonce program showsthe current state
of each detector and other pertinent messages: Single detectors
moy be turned off temporarily from the controlpanel. Availability of
maintenance features is dependent on the fire alarm system used.

Overview
The SIGA-DH Duct Smoke Detector Housing is specially engi-
neered to exploit all the capabilities of Signature Series intelligent
photoelectric and multisensor smoke detectors Edwards Signa-
ture Series detectors gather analog information from each ef their
one ormore sensing elements and converts it into digital signals.
The detector's onboard microprocessor measures and analyzes
these signals. It compares them to historical readings, tirne pat-
terns and known characteristics to make an alarm decision. Digital
filters and complex. Algorithms are applied for optimum detector
accuracy. Unwanted alarms are virtually eliminated.
Each duct housing is packaged with detailed installation instruc-
tions, gaskets and a sell -adhesive drilling template for locating and
mounting the detector. The large access door is completely re-
movable to allow fast detector installation and field wring connec-
tions. The 16 gauge steel housing is finished In red baked enamel
for easy identification. Five one -gang knockouts on the, housing
provide a convenient location for mourning intelligent Signature
Series modules,

exhaust tube. Air sampling tubes are available in lengths from 8
inches (200 mail to 10 feet (3048 mm)and must be ordered sepa-
rately. Compatible smoke detectors, mounting bases, and acces-
sories are isted in the ordering Information. Refer to individual
device catalog literature pages for more detail
Standard Features

Security Intelligent Initiating Devices
Overview
The Signoture Series Model %GA -PS Intelligent Photoelectric Smoke
Detector gathers analog information from its smoke sensing ele-
ment and converts it into digital signals. The detector's on -board
microprocessor measures and onalyzes these. signals. It compares
the information to historical readings and time potterns to make
on alarm decision. Digital filters remove signal patterns that ore not
typical of fires. Unwanted alarms are virtually eliminated
The microprocessor in each detector provides four additional benefits
- Self -diagnostics and History tog, Automatic Device Mapping.
Stand-alone Operation arid fast, Stable Communication.
Self -diagnostics and History Log - Eoch Signature Series detec-
tor constantly runsself-checksto provide important maintenance
information. The results of the self -check are automatically updated
and permanently stored in the detector's non-volatile memory
Automatic Device Mapping. - The loop controller learns where each
device's serial number address is installed relative to other devices
on the circuit. The mapping feature provides supervision of each
device's installed location to prevent a detector from being rein-
stalled (after deoning etc.) in a different location from where itwas
originally.
Stand-alone Operation - A decentralized alarm decision by the
detector is guaranteed, Onboard Intelligenceperrnits the detector
to operate in stand-alone mode. If loop controller CPUcommunica-
tions fail for more than four seconds, all devices onthat circuit go
into stand-alone mode. The- circuit acts like a conventional alarm
receiving circuit.

SIGA-PS
Fast Stable. Communication - On -board Intelligence meons less
information needs to be sent between the detector and the loop
controller. Other than regular supervisory polling response. the
detector only needs to communicate with the loop controller when
it has something new to report.

Installation
Signature Series detectors mount to North American 1-gang boxes.
3-1/2 inch or 4inch octagon boxes, and to 4 inch squareelectrical
boxes 1-1/2 inches (38 mm) deep. They mount: to European BESA
and 1-gang boxes with 60.3 mm fixing centers.
Testing & Maintenance
Each detector automatically identifies when it is dirty or defective
and causes a `dirtydetector- message. The detector's sensitiv-
ity measurement con otso be transmitted to the loop controller. A
sensitivity report con be printed to. satisfy NFPA sensitivity measure-
ments which must be conducted at the end of the first year and
every twoyeors thereafter.
The user-friendly maintenance program shows the currentstate
of each detector and other pertinent messages. Single detectors
maybe turned off temporarily from the control panel, Availability of
maintenance featuresis dependent on the ftre alarm system used.
Scheduled maintenance (Regular or Selected) for proper detector
operation should be planned to meet the requirements of the Au-
thority Roving Jurisdiction (AHJI Refer to current NEPA 72 and ULC
CAN/ULC 536 standards.
Compatibility
The SIGA-PS detectors are compatible only with the Signature
Controller.
Warnings & Cautions
This detector will not operate without electrical power. As firesfre-
quenty cause power interruption: we suggest you discuss further
safeguards with your fire protection specialist.
This detector will NOT sense fires that start in areos where smoke
cannot reach the detector, Smoke tram fires in wolfs, roofs, or on the
opposite side of closed doors may not reach the detector to alarm it.
Accessories
AR detector mounting bases have wiring terminals that are acces-
sible from the "room -side" after mounting the bose to the electrical
box. The bases mount to North American 1-gang boxes and to 31/2.
inch or 4 inch octagon boxes, 11/2 inches 138 mm) deep. They also
mount to European BESA and 1-gang boxes with 60.3 min fixing
centers: The SIGA-934. SIGA-RB4. and-SIGA-184 mount to. North
American 4 inch sq. electrical boxes in oddition to the above boxes.
They include the SIGA-TS4 Trim Skirt which is used to cover the
'mounting ears' on the base. The SIGA-AB4G:mounts to a 4' steers
box only.

Relay and Audible Bases operate -as follows:
- at system power -up or reset, the relay is de -energized
- when a detector is installed in the base with the power
on, the relay energizes for four seconds, then de -energizes.
- when a detector is removed from o base with the power on,
the relay is de -energized
- when the detector enters the alorm state. the relay is energized.

Overview
SIGA-CCl/MCC1. Single Input Signal Modules and SIGA-CC2/MCC2
Dual Input Signal Modules are part of GE Security's Signature Series
system. Theyare intelligent analog addressable devices used for
connecting. upon command from the loop controller, supervised
Class 6 signal or telephone circuits to their respective power inputs.
The power inputs may be polarized 24 Vdc to operate audible
and visible signal appliances or 25and 70 VRMS to operate audio
evacuation speakers and firefighter's telephones.
The actual operation of the SIGA-CC11MCCi and SIGA-CC2/MCC2 is
determined by the "personality code selected by the installer. It is
downloaded to the module from the Signature loop controller dur-
ing system configuration,.
The SIGA•CC1 and SIGA-CC2 mount to standard North American
two -gang electrical boxes,making them ideal for locations where
only one module: is required. Separate VOanddoto loop connec-
tions are mode to each module.
The SIGA-MCC1 and SIGA-MCC2 are port of the Inc family of
plug-in Signature Series modules. They function identically to
the SIGA-CC1 and SIGA-CC2, but take advantage of the rnodular
flexibility and easy installation that characterize all UIO modules.
Two-. and six -module U10 motherboards are available -These can
accommodate individual risers for each on -board module, or risers
that ore shored by any combination of itsU10modules. All wiring
connections are mode to terminal blocks on the motherboard, U10
assemblies may be mounted in GE Security enclosures.

Signature Series Overview
The Signature Series intelligent analog -addressable system from GE
Security is an entire family of multi -sensor detectors and mounting
bases. multiple -function input and output modules, network and
non -network control panels. and user-friendly maintenance and
service tools. Analog information from equipment connected to
Signature devices is gathered and converted into digital signals. An
onboard microprocessor in each Signature device measures and
analyzes the signal and decides whether or not to input an alarm.
The microprocessor in eoch Signature device provides four addi-
tional benefits - Self -diagnostics and History Log, Automatic Device
Mopping, Stond-olone Operation and Fost, Stable Communication.
Self -diagnostics and History Log - Each Signature Series device
constantly runs self -checks to provide important maintenance
informction, The results of the self -check are automatically updated
and permanently stored in its non-volatile memory. This informa-
tion is accessible for review any time at the control panel, PC, or
using. the SIGA-PRO Signature Program/Service Tool. The informa-
tion stored in device memory includes:
* Device serial number, oddress. and type
• Date of manufacture, hours of operation, and lost maintenance
date'
• Number af recorded alarms and troubles2
• Time and dote of lost alarms
• Most recent trouble code logged by the detector — 32 possible
trouble codes may be used to diagnose fouls.
Automatic Device Mapping -Tire Signature Data Controller (SDC1
leorns where each device's serial number addresses installed
relative to other devices on the circuit. The SDC keeps o mapof all
Signature Series devices Connected to it. The Signature Series Data
Entry Program also uses the mopping feature. With interactive
menus and grophic support, the wired circuits between each device
con be examined. Layout or "as -built' drawing information showing.
branch wiring tT-topst device types and their address are storedon
disk for printing hard copy. This takes the mystery out of the instal -
lotion. The preparation'. of cis -built drawings is fast and efficient.
Device mapping oflows the Signature Data Controller to discover:
• Unexpected additional device addresses
• Missing device addresses
• Changes to the wiring in the circuit.
Most Signature modules use o personality code selected by the
installer to their actual function Personality codes ore
downloaded from the SDC during system configuration and are
indicated during device mopping.

Overview
The Control Relay Module and the Polarity Reversal Relay Module
are port of the Signature Series system. They are intelligent analog
addressable devices available in either plug-in WIN versions or
standard 1-gong mount versions.
The SIGA•CR/MCR Control Reloy Module provides a Form "C" dry
relay contact to control external appliances such as: door closers,
fans, dompers etc. This device does notprovide supervision of the
state of the relay contact. Instead. the on -board microprocessor
ensures that the reloy is in the proper ON/OFFstate. Upon com-
mand from the loop controller. the SIGA-CR/MCR relay activates the
normally open or normally -closed contact.
The SIGA-CRRIMCRR Polarity Reversol Relay Module provides a
Form "C dry relay contact to power and activate a. series of SIGA-.
A1346 Audible Sounder Bases. Upon command from the Signature
loop controller. the SIGA-CRR reverses the polarity of its 24 Vdc
output, thus activating off Sounder Bases on the data loop.
Standard -mount versions:ISIGA-CR and StGA-CRR) ore installed
to standard North American 1-gang electrical boxes. making them
ideal for locotions where only one module is required. Separate I/O
and data loop connections are mode to each module.
Plug-in U10 versions tSIGA-MCR and SHGA•MCRRJ ore part of the
U10 family of plug-in Signature Series modules. They function
identically to the standard mount versions, but take odvdntoge of
the modular flexibility and easy installation thot characterizes ol1
U10 modules. Two- and six -module U10 motherboards ore available.
All wiring connections are made to terminal blocks on the mother-
board. UIO assemblies may be mounted in GE Security enclosures.

Standard Features
• Provides one no/nc contact (SIGA-CR/MCR1
Form `C dry relay contact can be used to control external appli-
ances such os door closers, fans, dornpers etc.
• Allows group operation of sounder bases
The S1A-CRRIMCRR reverses the polarity of its 24 Vdc output,
thus activating all Sounder Bases on the data loop.
• Plug-in tU101 or standard 1-gang: mount
1,110 versions allow quick installation where multiple modules are
required. The 1-gong mount version is ideal for remote locations
thot require a single module.
• Automatic device mapping
Signature modules transmit information to the loop controller
regarding their circuit locations with respect to other Signature
devices on the wire loop.
• Electronic addressing
Programmable oddresses ore downloaded from the loop con-
troller, a PC, or the SIGA-PRO Signature Program/Service Tool,
thereore no switchesor dials to set.
• Intelligent device with mcroprocessor
All decisions ore made otthe module to allow lower communica-
tion speed with substantially improved control panel response
time and less sensitivity to line noise and loop wiring properties;
twisted or shielded wire is not required.
• Grou ndfault detection by address.

Electronic Addressing - The Loop controller electronically addresses
each module saving valuable time during system :commissioning.
Setting complicated switches or dials is not required. Each module
hos itsown unique serial number stored in its on-boord memory.
The loop controller identifies each device on the loop and assigns
'soft' address to each serial number. If desired, the modules can be
addressed using the SIGA-PRO Signature Program/Service Tool.
GE Security recommends that this module be installed according to
latest recognized edition of national and local fire alarm codes.
Application
The operation of Signature Series control reloys is determined by
their sub -type code or 'Personality Code?
Personality Code 8: CONTROL RELAY ISIGA-CR/MCR1- Dry Contact
Output. This setting Configures the module to provide one Form "C"
DRY RELAY CONTACT to control Door Closers, Ions, Dampers, etc.
Contact rating is 2.0 amp @ 24 Vdc: 0.5 amp .@ 120 Vac for 220Vac
for non-UL applications). Personality Code 8 is assignedat the fac-
tory. No user configuroton is required.
Personality Code 8:. POLARITY REVERSAL RELAY MODULE ISLGA-
CRR/MCRR}. This setting configuresthe module to reverse the
polarity of its 24 Vdc output. Contact rating is 2.0 amp @ 24 Vdc
(pilot duty) Personality Code 8 is assigned at the factory. No user
configuration is required.
Compatibility
The Signature Series modules are compatible onlywith GE Securi-
ty's Signature Loop Controller
Warnings & Cautions
This module will not operate without electricalpower.:As fires fre-
quently cause power interruption, we suggest you dscuss further
safeguards with your focal fire protection specialist.
Testing & Maintenance
The module's automate€ self -diagnosis identifies when it is defective
and causes a trouble message. The user-friendly maintenance pro-
gram shows the current stote of each module and other pertinent
messages. Single modules maybe turned off (deactivated) tempo -
rarity, from the control ponel, Availability of maintenance features is
dependent onthe fire alarm system used. Scheduled maintenance

Standard Features
• Multiple applications
Including Alarm, Alarm with delayed latching (retard) for water -
flow applications, Supervisory, and Monitor. The installer selects
one of four "personality codes' tobedownloaded to the mod-
ule through ¶he loop controller:
• SIGA-CT1 rated for high temperature environments
Suitable for attic installation and monitoring high temperature
heat detectors.
• Plug-in (U10) or standard 1-gang mount
UIO versions allow quick installation where multiple modules are
required. The 1 -gang mount version is ideal forremote loca-
tions that require a single module.
• Automatic device mapping
Signature modules transmit information to the loop controller
regarding their circuit locations with respect to other Signature
devices on the ore Imp.
* Electronic addressing
Programmable addresses &e downloaded from the loop con-
troller, a PC, or the SIGA-PRO Signature Program/Service Tool.
There are no switches or dials to set.
• Stand-alone operation
Themodule makes decisionsand inputs an alarm from initiat-
ing devices connected to it even if the loop controller's polling
interrogation stops. Function availability dependent upon control
panel.)
• Ground fault detection by address
Detects ground faults right down to thedevice level.

Signature Series Overview
The Signature Series intelligent analog -addressable system from
Edwards Security is an entire family of multi -sensor detectors and
mounting bases, multiple -function input and output modules,
network and non -network control panels, and user-friendly main-
tenance and service toots. Analog information from equipment
connected to Signature devices is gathered and converted into
digital signals, An onboard microprocessor in each Signaturede-
vice measures and analyzes the signal and decides whether or not
to input an alarm. The microprocessor in each Signature device
provides four additional benefits - Self -diagnostics and History
Log,Automatic Device Mapping, Stand-alone Operation and Fast,
Stable Communication.
Self-dlagnostics and History Log - Each Signature Series
device constantly runs self -checks to provide important mainte-
nanceinformation. The results of the self -check are automatically
updated and permanently stored in Its non-volatile memory. This
information is accessible for review any time at the control panel,
PC, or using the SIGA-PRO Signature Program/Service Tool,
Automatic Device Mapping -The Signature Data Control-
ler (SDC) learns where each device's serial number address is
installed relative to other devices on the circuit. The SDC keeps a
map of all Signature Series -devices connected to 11. The Signature
Series Data Entry Program also uses the mapping feature. With
interactive menus and graphic support, the wired circuits be-
tween each device can be examined. Layout or "as -built" drawing
information showing branch wiring ff taps), device types and their
address are stored on disk for printing: hard copy.

Electronic Addressing - The loop controllerelectronica>hy ad-
dresses each module, saving valuable time during system com-
missioning. Setting complicated swathes or dials is not required.
Each module has i1s own unique serial number stored in its
on -board memory. The loop controller identifies each device on.
the loopand assigns a "soft" address toeach serial number. If
desired, the modules can beaddressed using the SIGA-PRO
Signature Program/Service Tool.
Edwards recommends that this module be installed according to
latest recognized edition of national and local fire alarm codes.
Application
The duty performed by the SiGA-CT1 and SIGA-CT21MCT2 is de-
termined by their sub-typecode or "Personality Code". The code
IS selected by the installer depending upon the desired application
and is downloaded from the loop controller.
One personality code can be assigned to the SIGA-CT1. Two per-
sonality codes can be assigned to the SIGA-CT2/MCT2. Codes
1, 2, 3 and 4 can be mixed on SIGA-CT2/MCT2 modules only. For
example, personality code 1 can be assignedto the first address
(circuit A) and code 4 can be assigned to the second address
(circuit 8).
NORMALLY -OPEN ALARM- LATCHING (Personality Code 1)
- Assign to one or both circuits. Configures either circuit A or B or
both for Class8 normalcy open dry contact initiating devices such
as Pull Stations, treat Detectors, etc. An ALARM signal is sent to

Overview
The Genesis line of signals ore the smallest. most compact audible -
visible emergency signaling devices in the world. Protruding no
more than one inch from the wolf, Genesis speakers and speaker -
strobes blend with any decor.
Signals feature textured housings in architecturally neutral white or
traditional fire alarm red. An ingenious iconographic symbolindi-
cotes the purpose of the device. This universol symbol is code-com-
phantond'is eosily recognized by all building occupants regardless
of what language they speak.
Thanks to potented breakthrough technology,
Genesis strobes do not require bulky specular
reflectors. instead, on exclusive mask-ond-cavity
design channels and conditions light to produce a
highly controllable distribution pattern. Intensive
development efforts employing this new technol-
ogy hove given rise to a new benchmark In strobe

Speaker -strobes feature 1S, 30, 75 or 110 candela output. selectable
with o conveniently -located switch on the bottom of the device. The
candela setting remains clearly visible even after final installation
Models ore also available that offer fixed 15/75 cd output.
All Genesis speakers include a DC blocking capacitor to allow
electrical supervision of the audio distribution circuit. Models for 25
Wm and 70 Von circuits are available. The mylar speaker with its
sealed back construction provides extra durability and improved
audibility. W to 2 W operation is selectable with a conveniently -
located switch on the bottom of the device. The wattage top setting

The suggested sound pressure level for each signaling zone used
with alert or alarm signals is o minimum of 15 dB above the over-
age ambient sound level or 5 dB above the moximum sound level
having a duration of ot least 60 seconds, whichever is greater. This
is measured 5 feet (1.5 m above the floor. The overage ambient

Doubling thedistance from
the signal to the eor will
theoretically cause a 6d8
reduction in the received
sound pressure level. The
actual effect depends
on the acoustic proper-
ties of materials in the
space. Doubling the power
output of a device (e.g.: a
speaker from 1Wto2W)
will increase the sound
pressure level by 3dBA. A
3dBA difference represents
a barely noticeable change
in volume.
Genesis Series Cone Speak er/strobe
Strobe Application
Genesis strobes are. UL 1971-listed for use indoors as wall -mounted
public -mode notification appliances for the hearing impaired.
Prevailing codes requirestrobes to be used where ambient noise
conditions exceed 105. cIBA 187dBAin Canada), where occupants
use hearing protection, and in areas of public accommodation as
defined in the Americans with ➢isabitities Act (see epplication notes
- USA).
Genesis strobes are synchronized and UL-listed for use in both
sleeping and non -sleeping areas. They are intended for indoor wail-
mount applications only. Combination speaker -strobe signals must
be installed in accordance with guidelines established for strobe
devices.
FullUght strobe technology produces a smooth light distribution
pattern without the spikes and voids characteristic of specular
reflectors. This ensures the entire coverage areareceivesconsistent
illumination from thestrobe flash.
All Genesis strobes setf-synchronize when installS with the Genesis Pm
Signal Muster or StGA-CC1S module. Strobe flashes from devices -
on the some circuit synchronize to within 10 milliseconds of each
other indefinitely. Thisexceeds the revised UL standards in effect as
of November. 2000. which specify this level of synchronization over
only two hours.
Genesis devices are fully compatible with Enhanced integrity sig-
nals. The two product lines may be mixed on the some circuit.
Strobe Spacing
The following guidelines are bused: on ANSI/NFPA 72 Notional Fire
Alarm Code11999)When applied and installed in accordance with
that code, Genesis strobes meet or exceed the illumination pro-
duced by the ADA-specified:75 candela (cd) strobe ot 50 feet.*
Non -Sleeping Rooms and Corridors: Genesis strobesrated at less
than 110 cd per UL 1971 are intended for use in non -sleeping areas
only. Install with the bottom of the device at least 80 inches (2)0
ml and no more than 96 inches (2.4 m) above the finished floor. No
point in any space (including corridors) required to have strobes
should be rnare than 50 feet 115,2 ml from the signal (in the hori2an-
tol plane).
In large rooms or spaces (such as auditoriums)thotexceed 100 feet

Overview
The Genesis line of signals are among the smallest, mast compact
audible -visible emergency 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, GE Security 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 em-
ploying 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 o result, Genesis strobes with
FullLight technology go well beyond the minimum UL-required "T"
pattern, significantly exceeding UL-1971 and ULC-S526light distri-
bution requirements.
Genesis strobes and horn -strobes offer 15 to 110 candela output,
which is selectable with 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 unau-
thorized tampering.
Genesis signals feature textured housings in architecturally neutral white
or traditional fire red. An ingenious iconographic symbol indicates the
purpose of the device. This universal symbol is code -compliant and is
easily recognized by all building occupants regardless of what language
they speak. Models with "FIRE" markings are also available.

Application
Genesis strobes are UL 1971-listed for use indoors as wall -mounted
public -mode notification appliances for the hearing impaired.
Prevailing codes require strobes to be used where ambient noise
conditions exceed 105 dBA (87dBA in Canada), where occupants
use hearing protection, and in areas of public accommodation as
defined in the Americans with Disabilities Act (see application notes
- USA).
Combination horn -strobe signals must be installed in accordance
with guidelines established for strobe devices.
Strobes
Genesis strobes are UL 1971-listed for use indoors as wall -mounted
public -mode notification appliances for the hearing impaired. Prevail-
ing codes require strobes to be used where ambient noise conditions
exceed specified levels, where occupants use hearing protection,
and in areas of public accommodation. Consult with your Authority
Having Jurisdiction for details.
All Genesis strobes exceed UL synchronization requirements (within
10 milliseconds other over a two-hour period) when used with a
synchronization source. Synchronization is important in order to
avoid epileptic sensitivity.

Horns
Genesis horn output reaches as high as 99 dB and features a unique
multiple frequency tone that results in excellent sound penetration
and an unmistakable warning of danger. Horns may be configured
for either coded or non -coded signal circuits. They can also be set for
low de output with a jumper cut that reduces horn output by about 5
de. Horn -only models may be ceding -mounted or wall -mounted.
The suggested sound pressure level for each signaling zone used with
alert or alarm signals is at least 15 dB above the average ambient sound
level, or 5 dB above the maximum sound level having a duration 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 pressure
measured over a 24-hour period.
Doubling the distance from the signal to the ear will theoretically result
in a 6 dB reduction of the received sound pressure level. The actual ef-
fect depends on the acoustic properties of materials in the space. A 3
d8A difference represents o barely noticeable change in volume.
Installation
Genesis horns and strobes mount to any standard one -gang sur-
face or flush electrical box. Matching optional trim plates are used
to cover oversized openings and can accommodate one -gang,
two -gang, four -inch square, or octagonal boxes, and European 100
mm square.
Genesis Horn/Strobe
with optional trim plate
All Genesis signals come pre -assembled
with captive mounting screws for easy in-
stallation. Two tabs at the top of the signal
unlock the cover to reveal the mounting
hardware. The shallow depth of Genesis
devices leaves ample room behind the
signal for extra wiring. Once installed with
the cover in place, no mounting screws are
visible.
Field Configuration
Temporal horn and horn -strobe models
are factory set to sound in a three -pulse
temporal pattern. Units may be config-
ured for use with coded systems by cutting a jumper on the circuit
board. This results in a steady output that can be turned on and off
(coded) as the system applies and removes power to the signal cir-
cuit. A Genesis Signal Master is required when horn -strobe models
are configured for coded systems. Non -temporal, horn -only models
sound a steady tone.
Genesis strobes and horn -strobes are shipped from the fac-
tory ready for use as UL 1971 compliant signals for public mode
operation. These signals may be configured for temporal flash by
cutting a jumper on the circuit board. This battery -saving feature is
intended for private mode signaling only.
Genesis strobes and horn -strobes may be set for 15, 30, 75, or 110
candela output. The output setting is changed by simply opening
the device and sliding the switch to the desired setting. The device
does not have to be removed to change the output setting. The
setting remains visible through a small window on the side of the
device after the cover is closed.
Horns and horn -strobes are factory set for high dB output.
Low dB output may be selected by cutting ajumper on the circuit
board. This reduces the output by about 5 dB.
Wiring
Field wiring terminals accommodate #18 to #12 AWG (0.75 mm2 to
2.5 mm2) wiring. Horns, strobes, and combination horn -strobes are
interconnected with a single pair of wires as shown below.

Notes and Comments
1. Current values are hown in mA.
2. UT Nameplate Rating can vary from Typical Current due to
measurement methods and instruments used.
3. GE Security recommends using the Typical Current for system
design including NAC and Power Supply loading and voltage
drop calculations.
4. Use the Vdc RMS current ratings for filtered power supply and
battery AH calculations, Use the Vfwr RMS current ratings for
unfiltered power supply calculations.
5. Fuses, circuit breakers and other overcurrent protection devices
are typically rated for current in RMS values. Most of these
devices operate based upon the heating affect of the current
flowing through the device. The RMS current 'not the mean cur-
rent! determines the heating affect and therefore, the trip and
hold threshold for those devices.
6, Our industry hos used' mean' currents over the years. However,
UL will direct the industry to use the 2004 RMS values in the
future.
