Kidde K85001-0559 -- Genesis Ceiling Horn-Strobes

Field Configurable Horn Series or more patents pending ceiling horn strobes are small compact and attractive emergency signaling devices Protruding no more 1.6 41 mm Genesis horn strobes blend with any decor to patented breakthrough technology Kidde Genesis do not require bulky specular reflectors and lenses an exclusive cavity design conditions light to produce highly controlled distribution pattern Significant development employing this new technology have given rise to a new in strobe performance FullLight technology strobe technology produces a smooth light distribution without the spikes and voids characteristic of specular This ensures the entire coverage area receives consis illumination from the strobe flash As a result Genesis strobes FullLight technology go well beyond the minimum UL required pattern on the model Genesis horn strobes feature 15 to 95 95 to 177 candela output see ordering information which is with a conveniently located switch on the front of the The candela output setting is clearly visible even after final yet it remains locked in place to prevent unauthorized after installation horn strobes feature textured housings in architecturally neu white or eye catching fire alarm red An ingenious iconographic indicates the purpose of the device This universal symbol code compliant and is easily recognized by all building occu regardless of what language they speak Models with are also available Features Field configurable no need to remove the device 15 30 75 95 cd and 95 115 150 177 cd models available Switch settings remain visible even after the unit is installed Low high dB settings Unique low profile design 30 per cent slimmer profile than comparable signals No visible mounting screws Available with white or red housings Easy to install behind the signal for extra wire no extension ring or Fits all standard 4 square electrical boxes with plenty of trim plate needed Pre assembled with captive hardware no loose pieces 18 to 12 AWG terminals ideal for long runs or existing wiring Unparalleled performance Exclusive FullLight strobe technology produces the industry most even light distribution Single high efficiency microprocessor controls both horn and strobe Low current draw minimizes system overhead Independent horn control provided over a single pair of wires Highly regulated in rush current allows the maximum number of strobes on a circuit 100 dB peak multiple frequency tone improves wall penetration 1 of 4 D A T A S H E E T K85001 0559 to be used for installation purposes Issue 1.1 Catalog u Strobes Horns Bells Chimes03 31 20Technology that saves livesfirealarmresources com and Mounting models are intended for indoor wall or ceiling applications Horn strobes mount to any flush North American 4 square box ceiling horn strobes simply unlatch and twist to open gains access to mounting screws and the selectable candela The shallow depth of Genesis devices leaves ample room the signal for extra wiring Once installed with the cover in no mounting screws are visible recommends that these fire alarm horn strobes always installed in accordance with the latest recognized edition of and local fire alarm codes Configuration on the model Genesis horn strobes may be set for 15 95 or 95 to 177 candela output see ordering information The setting is changed by simply opening the device and sliding switch to the desired setting The horn strobe does not have be removed to change the output setting The setting remains through a small window on the front of the device after the is closed horn strobe comes factory set for high dB output Low dB may be selected by cutting a jumper on the circuit board reduces the output by about 5 dB wiring terminals accommodate 18 to 12 AWG 0.75 mm 2.5 mm wiring Horn strobes are interconnected with a single of wires as shown below strobes are UL 1971 listed for use indoors as ceiling or public mode notification appliances for the hearing Prevailing codes require strobes to be used where ambi noise conditions exceed 105 dBA 87dBA in Canada where use hearing protection and in areas of public accom as defined in the Americans with Disabilities Act see notes USA horn strobe signals must be installed in accordance guidelines established for strobe devices strobes are UL 1971 listed for use indoors as ceiling or public mode notification appliances for the hearing Prevailing codes require strobes to be used where ambi noise conditions exceed specified levels where occupants hearing protection and in areas of public accommodation with your Authority Having Jurisdiction for details Genesis strobes exceed UL synchronization requirements 10 milliseconds other over a two hour period when used a synchronization source Synchronization is important in to avoid epileptic sensitivity The flash intensity of some visible signals may not be adequate alert or waken occupants in the protected area Research indicates the intensity of strobe needed to awaken 90 of sleeping persons is 100 cd Kidde recommends that strobes in sleeping rooms rated at at least 110 cd These devices will not operate without electrical power As frequently cause power interruptions further safeguards such as power supplies may be required horn output reaches as high as 99 dB peak and a unique multiple frequency tone that results in excel wall penetration and an unmistakable warning of danger All may be configured for either coded or non coded signal They can also be set for low dB output with a jumper cut reduces horn output by about 5 dB suggested sound pressure level for each signaling zone used alert or alarm signals is at least 15 dB above the average ambient level or 5 dB above the maximum sound level having a duration at least 60 seconds whichever is greater measured 5 feet 1.5 m the floor The average ambient sound level is A weighted sound measured over a 24 hour period the distance from the signal to the ear will theoretically in a
