Overview of Edwards GCVWN

The Edwards GCVWN, part of the Genesis LED GCS Series, is a high-performance speaker and speaker-strobe device that offers exceptional output, energy efficiency, and flexibility for life safety applications. With its sleek low-profile design, advanced LED technology, and customizable features, the GCVWN provides an efficient and cost-effective solution for both new installations and retrofits.

Key Features & Benefits:

High Fidelity Performance: The GCVWN delivers high-quality audio output with excellent speech intelligibility, achieving an STI rating of .81, which exceeds the industry standard for speech clarity.

Low-Frequency Capability: This device is capable of producing low-frequency (520Hz) output, meeting NFPA standards for commercial sleeping areas, ensuring compliance and safety.

Energy-Efficient LED Strobe Technology: The GCVWN utilizes high-performance LED strobes, offering significant advantages over traditional Xenon-based strobes. LED technology consumes less current, enabling longer circuit lengths, smaller wire gauges, and fewer power supplies, resulting in cost savings during installation.

Flexible Field Configuration: The GCVWN speakers feature selectable wattage taps, allowing for sound output customization in the field. Speaker-strobes provide the ability to adjust both wattage and light output levels, ensuring optimal performance in diverse environments.

Sleek and Low-Profile Design: With an ultra-slim profile that protrudes only about 1.5 inches from the mounting surface, the GCVWN offers an attractive appearance with no visible mounting screws, enhancing the aesthetics of any space.

Compatibility and Integration: The GCVWN devices are designed to be backward compatible with legacy strobes, enabling a seamless upgrade to LED technology without the need for replacing existing devices. They can be mixed on the same circuit and field of view as Xenon-based strobes, simplifying retrofit projects.

Easy Installation and Serviceability: The GCVWN devices come with a universal room side wiring plate for convenient pre-installation and wiring. They are easily snapped into place, ensuring correct wiring and providing access to diagnostic test points for circuit testing. The devices fit standard two-gang and 4-inch square electrical boxes, with optional trim plates and surface boxes available for enhanced installation flexibility.

Enhanced Safety and Compliance: The GCVWN speakers and speaker-strobes meet NFPA and UL requirements for sleeping areas and areas of public accommodation. They offer high sound pressure levels, ensuring audibility over large areas and providing effective emergency communication.

The Edwards GCVWN, part of the Genesis LED GCS Series, combines superior performance, energy efficiency, and flexibility, making it an ideal choice for a wide range of life safety applications. From its high-fidelity sound reproduction and low-frequency capability to its advanced LED strobe technology and easy installation, the GCVWN delivers reliable and effective emergency notification in various settings.
