Genesis G1WA-HDVMA MNEC Temporal HornStrobe Installation Sheet
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 breaking the wire run
at each terminal. Do not loop the signaling circuit field wires
around the terminals.
Description
Note: The strobe is for private mode signaling per NFPA 72.
The Genesis G1WA-HDVMA MNEC Temporal Horn-Strobe is
a mass notification and emergency communication notification
appliance designed for indoor walls. It has an amber lens with
ALERT marking.
To install the horn-strobe:
The horn signal, horn dB level, strobe signal, and strobe
candela output are field-configurable. See Figure 1 and
Figure 2 on page 2. The candela output setting is locked in
place and remains visible after installation.
1.
Remove the cover by releasing each tab at the top of the
unit. Insert a small screwdriver, press the tab down, and
then twist slightly.
2.
Set the horn signal, sound level, and strobe signal to the
desired settings. See Figure 1.
This strobe features an enhanced synchronization circuit.
Synchronized operation may require a separately installed
synchronization control module. See Table 1 for a list of
compatible synchronization modules.

To change the strobe signal from steady to temporal,
cut from circle J1 to the edge of the circuit board.
•
To change the horn signal from temporal to steady,
cut from circle J2 to the edge of the circuit board.
•
To change the horn sound 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 left of the switch. See
Figure 2.
4.
Connect the terminals to the signal circuit field wiring. You
must observe polarity for the unit to function properly. See
Figure 3.
5.
Mount the unit on 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.
