Edwards GCSVWN — Genesis LED GCS Series ceiling mount speaker strobe, white housing, no wording on the cover.
A switch under the cover sets the speaker for either 25 or 70 VRMS, and the wattage tap and candela setting are changed the same way and stay readable through windows in the housing. The LED draws the same current at every candela setting, so raising output later changes no circuit maths.
- Field-selectable 15, 30, 75 or 115 cd; 35 mA at 16 to 33 VDC, 45 mA on VFWR
- Speaker taps of 1/4, 1/2, 1 and 2 W, the series rated 78 to 87 dBA (UL 1480)
- 520 Hz capable with approved audio hardware and a factory tone; STI 0.81
- UL 1971 certified for indoor public mode signalling; sync limit 20 Ω
- 6.8 × 1.82 in.; 32 to 122 °F; fits 2-gang and 4 in. square boxes
The GRSW room side wiring plate is required and ordered separately, as the GRSW-10 ten pack. GCSVRN is red and GCSVWA carries ALERT; high candela units are GCSVHWN. No Edwards document says this model replaces the earlier GCHFWN speaker strobes, and the high candela GCHFWN-S7VMCH reaches 177 cd where this one stops at 115.

FAQ
Is the mounting plate included?
No. GCS speakers and speaker-strobes mount to the required GRSW room side wiring plate, which is ordered separately in packs of 10 as GRSW-10.
Can it be used on 25 V and 70 V systems?
Yes. A switch under the cover sets the speaker for either 25 or 70 VRMS, and the wattage tap is selected the same way.
Does it meet the 520 Hz requirement for sleeping areas?
Genesis GCS devices meet NFPA and UL 520 Hz requirements when used with approved audio hardware and a factory-supplied 520 Hz tone.
Will the strobes stay synchronized?
Yes. Genesis strobes exceed UL synchronization requirements, within 10 milliseconds over two hours, when used with a compatible synchronization source.
