The Kidde Genesis 4MS-7AR is a fixed 15/75 cd synchronized wall strobe in red with a FIRE marking. It delivers consistent, even light distribution across the coverage area using Kidde's FullLight strobe technology, exceeding UL 1971 and ULC S526 requirements for visual notification. At under an inch of protrusion from the wall, it's one of the most compact listed notification appliances available.
Built for the commercial installer
The Genesis strobe mounts directly to any standard one-gang electrical box with no trim plate required. Pre-assembled captive mounting screws and a snap-on cover eliminate loose hardware and speed up install. Two tabs at the top of the signal unlock the cover for wiring access, and once the cover snaps into place, no mounting screws are visible from the front. Optional trim plates accommodate oversized openings on two-gang, four-inch square, octagonal, and European single-gang boxes.
