Kidde K85001-0574 -- Genesis Chimes and Chime-Strobes

Chimes Series or more pending Genesis line of signals are among the smallest most compact emergency signaling devices in the world About size of a deck of playing cards these devices are designed to 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 consistent from the strobe flash As a result Genesis strobes with technology go well beyond the minimum UL required significantly exceeding UL 1971 light distribution require strobes and chime strobes offer 15 to 110 candela which is selectable with a conveniently located switch on side of the device The candela output setting remains clearly even after final installation yet it stays locked in place to unauthorized tampering signals feature textured housings in architecturally neutral white traditional fire red An ingenious iconographic symbol indicates the of the device This universal symbol is code compliant and is recognized by all building occupants regardless of what language speak Models with markings are also available Features Unique low profile design The most compact UL 1971 listed strobe available Ultra slim protrudes less than one inch from the wall Attractive appearance No visible mounting screws Three field configurable options in one device Select 15 30 75 or 110 cd strobe output Select non coded default temporal or coded single stroke chime operation Select high default or low dB chime output Easy to install Fits standard 1 gang electrical boxes no trim plate needed Optional trim plate accommodates oversized openings Pre assembled with captive hardware 12 AWG terminals ideal for long runs or existing wiring Unparalleled performance Single microprocessor controls both chime and strobe Chime produces a pleasing mellow tone Independent chime control over a single pair of wires Industry most even light distribution Meets tough synchronizing standards for strobes Low current draw minimizes system overhead Highly regulated in rush current 1

listed for use indoors as wall mounted notification appliances for the hearing impaired Prevail codes require strobes to be used where ambient noise conditions specified levels where occupants use hearing protection in areas of public accommodation Consult with your Authority 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 chimes produce a pleasing mellow tone When steady voltage is applied the chime automatically pulses 60 strokes per minute or may be field configured for temporal When installed with a GIM Signal Master Module the chime also be field configured for coded operation which enables the output to match the rate that voltage is applied to the circuit chime 79 dBA peak output level makes this device suitable many private mode applications Chimes may be set for low output with a jumper cut that reduces sound output by about dB chimes are intended as audible signaling devices for applications For public mode audible signaling use horns and horn strobes sound pressure level for each private mode signal zone used with alert or alarm signals is at least 10 dB above average ambient sound level or 5 dB above the maximum level having a duration of at least 60 seconds whichever is measured 5 1.5 m above the floor The average ambient level is the RMS A weighted sound pressure measured a 24 hour period the distance from the signal to the ear will

strobes mount to any one gang surface or flush electrical Matching optional trim plates are used cover oversized openings and can ac one gang two gang four inch or octagonal boxes and European mm square Chime strobe optional trim plate Genesis signals come pre with captive mounting screws for installation Two tabs at the top of the unlock the cover to reveal the mount hardware The shallow depth of Genesis devices leaves ample behind the signal for extra wiring Once installed with the in place no mounting screws are visible Configuration strobes and chime strobes 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 device 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 and chime strobes are factory set for high dB output Op low dB output may be selected by cutting a jumper on the board This reduces the audible output by about 5 dB second jumper cut changes the chime output from the factory rate of 60 strokes per minute to three pulse temporal output may also be configured for single stroke coded opera This operates the chime once each time voltage is applied the circuit Voltage must be discontinued and then re applied operate the chime again These optional coders produce a pattern of audible signals A Genesis Signal Master required when chimes are configured for coded operation wiring terminals accommodate 18 to 12 AWG 0.75 mm to mm wiring Chimes strobes and combination
