KC-EGCVHWN KIDDE GENESIS CEILING STROBE 135-185CD WHITE NO MARKING

Description

The EGCVHWN Kidde Genesis Ceiling-Mount High-Candela Strobe is a fire-alarm visual notification appliance designed for ceiling installation. It emits a bright LED strobe flash with selectable high-candela output when a fire alarm is triggered, providing clear visual alerting in large or high-ambient-light spaces. The device mounts to a standard ceiling electrical box via an included room-side wiring plate and integrates with 24 V notification appliance circuits used in life-safety systems.

Model/SKU: EGCVHWN
Brand: Kidde (Genesis LED)
Function: Ceiling-mounted high-candela LED strobe for visual fire alarm signaling — provides occupant notification via bright flash when an alarm condition occurs.
Ratings: 16–33 V DC input; selectable strobe output at 135, 150, 177, or 185 candela.
Dimensions: Low-profile ceiling unit, protrudes approximately 1.5 in from the mounting surface when installed.
Material: Flame-rated thermoplastic housing with clear lens.
Mounting / Connection: Ceiling-mount compatible with standard ceiling electrical boxes; includes room-side wiring plate for pre-wiring and screw-terminal connections for standard NAC wiring.
Compatibility: Compatible with notification appliance circuits using 16–33 V DC (common for life-safety NAC circuits); compatible with synchronization sources for multi-strobe installations.
Additional Specs: High-efficiency LED reduces current draw compared to xenon strobes, allowing more devices per circuit and longer wire runs.
Why It Matters: Provides a high-intensity, energy-efficient visual alert, ideal for large or noisy areas and public-mode installation, while simplifying wiring and reducing power supply load.
