Edwards Data Sheet Genesis Low Frequency 520 Hz Audible Signals

Edwards Signaling Catalog u Strobes Horns Bells Chimes Frequency Signals G4LF Series Series notification appliances provide the benefits of Gen life safety signals with output suitable for sleeping areas and applications requiring low frequency audible tones These appliances generate a crisp 520 Hz tone in the 3 3 temporal pattern An optional setting configures the for continuous audible output a critical feature for notification appliance circuits G4LF appliances also feature high and low dB output settings connected to compatible Edwards control equipment G4LF audible output remains synchronized with all Genesis au signals on the same Notification Appliance Circuit including 3.2 kHz Genesis audible signals G4LF models include audible only appliances as well combination audible visible signals Combination appliances Genesis FullLight strobe technology which produces smooth light distribution pattern without the spikes and voids characterize bulky specular reflectors This ensures the entire area receives consistent illumination exceeding UL 1971 distribution requirements It also results in a slim low profile that blends with any decor Candela output is field configu connected to a compatible synchronization source Genesis synchronize strobes to UL 1971 to within 10 millisec indefinitely without the need for external modules or other See the Specifications section for a list of synchroniza sources Features Unique low profile design Compact UL listed audible and audible visible appliances Ultra slim protrudes an inch from the mounting surface Attractive appearance no visible mounting screws Choice of colors and markings White or red housings With or without FIRE markings Easy to install Room side wiring accepts 18 12 AWG 0.75 to 2.5 mm2 Fits standard 4 inch square electrical boxes or standard Gensis EG4B or EG4RB surface mount boxes Easy to configure without removing the device High or low dB output Temporal or continuous audible tone Temporal or continuous visible output 15 30 75 or 110 candela intensity Unparalleled performance Exclusive FullLight strobe output distribution pattern Meets tough synchronization standards for strobes and audible signals 1 of 4 D A T A S H E E T S85001 0639 to be used for installation purposes Issue 1.1 G4LF Series appliances are UL 464 listed for low fre audible requirements Models are also available in combi with a UL 1971 listed strobe light for indoor wall mounted notification applications Many codes and regulations call for low frequency audible appliances 520 Hz in sleeping and also require strobe lights under some of these circum Consult with your Authority Having Jurisdiction for details appliances are not limited to only sleeping rooms they can also be used in other locations Combina audible visible appliances are installed in accordance with established for visible strobe devices used with a compatible Edwards synchronization source all xenon based strobes audible units and combination maintain fully synchronized indefinitely This exceeds UL synchronization requirements of 10 milliseconds over a period Strobe light synchronization is important in order avoid issues with people that have Photosensitive Epilepsy These devices will not operate without electrical power As frequently cause power interruptions we suggest you discuss further with your local fire protection specialist recommends that these devices always be installed in with the latest recognized edition of national and local Refer to the appropriate codes and standards for mounting information Signal Application low frequency audible output features a distinctive 520 signal that results in excellent waking capabilities superb penetration and an unmistakable warning of danger signals may be configured for either coded or non coded circuits They can also be set for low dB output with a cut that reduces audible output by about 5 dB Audible models may be ceiling mounted or wall mounted sleeping rooms most codes and standards require 75 dBA at the pillow non sleeping rooms the suggested sound pressure level each signaling zone used with alarm signals is at least 15 dB the average ambient sound level or 5 dB above the maxi sound level having a duration of at least 60 seconds which is greater This is measured 5 feet 1.5 m above the floor the distance from the signal to the ear will theoretically in a 6 dB reduction of the received sound pressure level actual effect depends on the acoustic properties of materials the space A 3 dBA difference represents a barely noticeable in volume Signal Application sleeping rooms a strobe light is typically required within 16 of the pillow If the strobe light is wall mounted and at or far than 24 inches 610 mm from the ceiling it should be 110 cd greater If the strobe light is ceiling mounted or wall mounted than 24 inches 610 mm to the ceiling it must be 177 cd or G4LF Series appliances mount to a standard 4 inch 102 square electrical box using the provided mounting spacer or to a Genesis G4 surface mount box Genesis appliances have two tabs at the top of the signal the cover to reveal the mounting hardware The shallow of Genesis devices leaves ample room behind the signal for wiring Once installed with the cover in place no mounting are visible Mounting box mount supplied Mounting or EG4RB Mount Wiring field wiring terminals accommodate 18 to 12 AWG mm to 2.5 mm wiring Audible appliances strobes and audible visual appliances are interconnected with a pair of wires as shown next device or EOL NAC NAC Polarity is

three pulse pattern Units may be configured use with coded systems by cutting jumper JP2 on the circuit This results in a steady output that can be turned on and coded as the system applies and removes power to the signal A Genesis Signal Master is required to maintain G4LF light synchronization when connected to a coded system signals and combination audible visible appliances are set for high dB output Low dB output may be selected by jumper JP3 on the circuit board This reduces the output about 5 dB G4LF Series strobe lights are shipped from the fac ready for use as UL 1971 compliant signals for public mode These signals may be configured for temporal flash cutting jumper JP1 on the circuit board This battery saving may be used for private mode signaling only Audible Output for low Audible cut steady Strobe cut temporal only switch and indicator G4LF Series strobe lights may be set for 15 30 75 or candela output The output setting is changed by simply the device and sliding the switch to the desired setting appliance does not have to be removed to change the output The setting remains visible through a small window on the of the device after the cover is closed Sound
