Description
The Edwards G1M Genesis Signal Master is a commercial synchronization module designed for Genesis Series notification appliances. The snap-on piggyback design installs directly onto the back of the first compatible Genesis notification appliance on a circuit, eliminating the need for a separate electrical box while providing synchronized strobe operation and independent horn control.
The G1M provides UL 1971-compliant synchronization for compatible Genesis and Enhanced Integrity strobes while allowing horn-strobe appliances to operate over a single pair of wires with separate horn silence capability. This product is intended exclusively for commercial fire alarm installations.
Product Functions
- Synchronizes compatible Genesis strobes
- Synchronizes Enhanced Integrity strobes
- Provides independent horn control for Genesis horn strobes
- Supports horn silence without disabling strobes
- Operates over a single NAC circuit
- Maintains synchronized visual notification
- Simplifies retrofit and new installations
- Supports commercial notification appliance circuits
Electrical & System Information
The G1M operates on 16–33 VDC or 16–33 VFWR notification appliance circuits and is rated for circuits up to 2 amps. It draws approximately 33 mA during operation and connects directly to compatible Genesis notification appliances through its snap-on piggyback interface.
The module provides two methods of independent horn control for compatible horn-strobes: traditional NAC signal silence or a normally closed contact input. Strobes remain synchronized even when horns are silenced, improving emergency communication while maintaining visual notification.
Features
- Commercial synchronization module
- Snap-on piggyback installation
- UL 1971 compliant synchronization
- Independent horn control
- Single NAC operation
- Compatible with Genesis notification appliances
- Supports Enhanced Integrity strobes
- No separate electrical box required
