Genesis LED EG4S Series speakers and speaker-strobes feature:
• Field-configurable speaker and strobe outputs. See Figure 2 and
Figure 3.
• Enhanced synchronization circuitry to comply with the latest
requirements of UL 1638 and CAN/ULC-S526.
• Input wiring test points on the front of the appliance when the
cover is removed.
• Speakers that are approved for low frequency sounder
applications when used with compatible tone file and systems.
Note: Synchronized operation requires a separately installed
synchronization device. See the control unit or power supply
compatibility list for compatible synchronization devices.
Configuration
Caution: Equipment damage hazard. Using excessive force when
removing the appliance cover may damage the cover and prevent it
from latching in place.
To configure the notification appliance:
1. Remove the appliance cover. See Figure 1.
Insert a small, flat-bladed screwdriver into the slot at the bottom of
the appliance.
Gently pull up on the screwdriver to pry the bottom of the
appliance cover down and away from the appliance.
Lift the bottom of the cover out and over the top of the appliance.
2. On speakers and speaker-strobes, set the speaker wattage and
voltage switches for the required values. See Figure 2.
3. On speaker-strobes, set the strobe candela switch for the required
value. See Figure 3.
4. Replace the appliance cover.

Installation
Install and wire this device in accordance with applicable national and
local codes, ordinances, and regulations.
Caution: Electrical supervision requires that you break the wire run at
each terminal. Do not loop the notification circuit field wires around the
terminals.
To install the appliance:
1. Using the screws supplied with the wiring plate, attach the wiring
plate and, if used, the trim plate to the electrical box. See Figure 4.
Do not overtighten the screws.
The trim plate is ordered separately.
2. Connect the field wiring. Observe signal polarity for the appliance
to operate properly. See Figure 5.
3. Remove the shorting clip (Figure 5, item 5). Retain for future use.
4. Plug the appliance into the wiring plate by setting the appliance on
the top of the wiring plate, and then snapping the bottom into
place. See Figure 6.
To unplug the appliance, press the spring clip on the bottom, and
then lift the appliance away from the mounting plate.
5. Test the unit for proper operation.

Maintenance and testing
Caution: Equipment damage hazard. To maintain the required agency
listings, do not change factory-applied finishes.
This unit is not serviceable or repairable. If the unit fails to operate,
contact the supplier for a replacement.
Perform a visual and operational inspection in accordance with
applicable codes and standards or as directed by the local authority
having jurisdiction.
Input wiring test points are available on the front of the appliance when
the cover is removed. The test points let you easily spot check the field
circuit wiring without the need to remove the appliance from the wall.
See Figure 8 and Figure 9.
