Product information

The Genesis Chime is an audible fire alarm notification appliance designed for indoor walls. See Table 1 for a list of model numbers.

The chime includes field configurable jumper options for selecting the desired dB output, steady or temporal chime output, and constant non-coded voltage or single-stroke coded voltage operation. A Genesis Signal Master is required when chimes are configured for coded operation. See Table 2 for a list of compatible synchronization modules.

Install this device in accordance with applicable requirements in the latest editions of the NFPA codes and standards and in accordance with the local authorities having jurisdiction.

Installation instructions

Caution: Electrical supervision requires the wire run to be broken at each terminal. Do not loop the signaling circuit field wires around the terminals.

To install the chime:

  • Remove the cover by depressing both tabs on the top of the unit with a small screwdriver and twisting slightly.
  • Set the chime signal, sound output level, and desired operation settings. See Figure 1.
  • Connect the chime terminals to the signal circuit field wiring. You must observe polarity for the unit to function properly.

For constant non-coded voltage operation, see Figure 2. For single-stroke coded voltage operation, see Figure 3.

  • Mount the unit onto a compatible electrical box, making sure not to over tighten the mounting screws.
  • 5. Replace the cover by aligning at the bottom, then snapping in at the top.
  • 6. Test the unit for proper operation.

Maintenance

This unit is not serviceable or repairable. Should the unit fail to operate, contact the supplier for replacement.

Perform a visual inspection and an operational test twice a year or as directed by the local authority having jurisdiction.
