Kidde K85001-0641 -- Genesis Ceiling Speakers and Speaker-Strobes

Ceiling Speakers GC Series Genesis line of ceiling life safety and emergency communica speakers and speaker strobes combine high performance with a low profile design to deliver a life safety signal solu that as versatile as it is effective While they are designed to inconspicuously overhead these devices are also rated for applications speaker strobes are available in high and low candela which feature 15 to 95 or 95 to 177 cd output see order information Ceiling speakers feature W to 2 W operation allows devices to be easily fine tuned to achieve maximum in exchange for the lowest possible system overhead output and wattage tap settings are selectable with conven switches Settings remain clearly visible even after installation yet they are locked in place to prevent unauthorized after installation fidelity models meet the NPFA 520 Hz requirements for newly commercial sleeping areas They also produce crisp voice audio output that is highly intelligible over large areas low profile
