There are field-configurable options for selecting dB output,
chime signal, and constant noncoded voltage or single-stroke
coded voltage operation. See Figure 1.
Note: A Genesis Signal Master is required when chimes are
configured for coded operation.
The strobe includes a field-configurable switch for selecting the
desired candela output. The candela output setting is locked in
place and remains visible after final installation.
This strobe features an enhanced synchronization circuit to
comply with the latest requirements of UL 1971 Signaling
Devices for the Hearing Impaired. Synchronized operation
requires a separately installed synchronization control module.
See Table 2 for a list of compatible synchronization modules.

Installation
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.
WARNING: Electrocution hazard. To avoid personal injury or
death from electrocution, remove all sources of power and
allow stored energy to discharge before installing or removing
equipment.
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-strobe:
1. Remove the cover by depressing both tabs on the top of
the unit with a small screwdriver and twisting slightly.

2 / 4 P/N 3100562 • REV 2.0 • ISS 19AUG10
2. Set the chime signal, sound output level, and desired
operation settings. See Figure 1.
• To change the chime signal from steady to temporal,
cut from circle J1 to the edge of the circuit board.
• To change the chime operation from noncoded to
coded (single-stroke), cut from circle J2 to the edge of
the circuit board.
• To change the chime sound output level from high dB
to low dB, cut the J3 trace between the holes.
3. Slide the candela switch to the desired candela output by
aligning it with the indicator located beside the switch. See
Figure 2.
4. Connect the chime terminals to the signal circuit field
wiring. For the unit to function properly, observe polarity.
See Figure 1.
• For single-stroke coded voltage operation, see
Figure 3.
• For constant noncoded voltage operation, see
Figure 4.
5. Mount the unit onto a compatible electrical box, making
sure not to overtighten the mounting screws.
6. Replace the cover by aligning it at the bottom, then
snapping it in at the top.
7. 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.
Do no change the factory-applied finish.
