Genesis LED GCS Series
Overview
Genesis LED GCS Series speakers and speaker -strobes
combine high performance output with a sleek low profile
design and energy-efficient technology that makes there 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. Al this flexibility allows devices to be easily
fine-tuned to exactly how they're needed to perform. All Genesis
speakers include DD blocking capacitor to allow electrical —
supervision of the audio distribution circuit.
Genesis LED GCS Series uses high efficiency optics, combined
with patented electronics, to delivery 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 GCS 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, GCS strobes can be mixed on the
same circuit and used in the same field of view as Xenon -based
strobes. This makes Genesis LED GCS Series ideal for new
installations and retrofits alike.
Field -configurable sound output levels provide the flexibility
modern life safely projects demand, while the Genesis LED
control protocol keeps multiple strobes on compatible NAC
circuits synchron¢ed to well within NFPA 72 requirements.
They also meet NFPA and UL 520Hz requirements for sleeping
areas making thorn ideal for new construction or retrofits.
GCS 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. GCS Series
speakers deliver audio with an STI of .81 ensuring the message
is clear.
Serviceability is another area where GCS 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. GCS 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.

Application
Strobes
Genesis GCS Series strobes are UL 1971 -listed for use indoors
as wall or ceiling public -mode notification appliances for the
hearing impaired. Prevailing codes require strobes to be used
where ambient noise conditions exceed 105 dBA (87 dBA In
Canada), where occupants use hearing protection, and in areas
of public accommodation as defined in the Americans with
Disabilities Act.
Synchronization is important in order to avoid triggering seizures
In people with photosensitive epilepsy. All Genesis strobes exceed
UL synchronization requirements (within 10 milliseconds over a
two-hour period) when used with a synchronization source. See
the specifications table for a list of compatible sources.
Page 2 of 6
Speakers
The suggested sound pressure level for each signaling zone used
with alert or alarm signals is a minimum of 15 dB above the aver-
age ambient sound level or 5 dB above the maximum sound level
having a duration of at least 60 seconds, whichever is greater. This
Is measured 5 feet (1,5 m) above the floor.
Doubling the distance from the signal to the ear will theoretically
cause a 6 dB reduction in the received sound pressure level. The
actual effect depends on the acoustic properties of materials in the
space. Doubling the power output of a device (e.g.: a speaker from
1 W to 2" will increase the sound pressure level by 3dBA.
High Fidelity Sound
Genesis LED GCS Series High Fidelity appliances feature 87dB of
sound output along with a highly intelligible Speech Transmission
Index (STI) rating of .81. An STI rating above .76 is considered
excellent for speech intelligibility They are also effective in areas
subject to high levels of ambient noise.
These appliances are ideal for hotels, dormitories and other
residential occupancies that have sleeping areas that require 520Hz
tones. In sleeping areas, always ensure that the wattage tap of the
speaker is set sufficiently high so that the sound pressure reaches
at least 75 dBA at the pillow.
These appliances are part of an end-to-end audio system
approved for use in sleeping areas when used In conjunction
with approved audio hardware and a factory -supplied 520 Hz
tone. Check the System Compatibility List for other 520 Hz
signaling requirements.
Installation
Genesis GCS speakers and speaker -strobes mount to the
required GRSW room side wiring plate. The GRSW mounting
plate is ordered separately from the GCS device in packs of
10 (GRSW-10) for convenient pre -installing and pre -wiring.
The device can be removed easily from the room side wiring
plate by pushing up with a screwdriver. The cover can also be
removed from the device easily with a screwdriver to access the
light and sound output settings and a diagnostics test port for
voltage testing.
Genesis IED GCS Series speakers_ and speaker -strobes mount,
to any standard two -gang and 4 -inch square electrical box.
Matching optional GCT trim rings are available to cover oversized
openings. Optional color matched double -gang surface boxes
are also available.

Field Configuration
Genesis LED speakers are capable of both 25V and 70V operation
depending on the system, The voltage is set via a switch under
the cover. Speakers also may be set for Yn, %2, 1, or 2 watt
operation. The wattage setting is visible through a small window
on the side of the device and is changed by simply sliding the
switch under the cover until the desired setting appears in the
window. The speaker does not have to be removed to change
the wattage, only the cover skin.
