SKU:
KD-EWGAVRF

The EWGAVRF is a Genesis LED EWG Series outdoor wall-mount horn-strobe built for commercial fire alarm notification circuits. Field-selectable candela output covers both indoor and outdoor requirements from a single SKU, and the 24 VDC/VFWR operating voltage drops onto standard NAC loops without additional power supplies or special wiring.

Built for the commercial installer

UL 1971 and UL 1638 listed for indoor and outdoor visual notification. ULC-S525 and ULC-S526 listed for Canadian installations. The unit mounts to a standard 4-inch square by 1.5-inch deep box indoors, or to a Kidde Model 449 or 74347U surface box for outdoor and wet locations. An optional red trim skirt (WG4RTS) covers rough-in for a clean finished look.

Key features

  • Field-selectable candela: four switch positions (D/C/B/A) set the right output for each coverage area without stocking multiple SKUs
  • Outdoor rated to -40F: UL 1638 listed for outdoor operation down to -35C, full operating range -40F to 151F
  • Horn output up to 99.6 dBA: 3.2 kHz tone meets UL 464 and ULC-S525 requirements across the 16-33V range
  • Genesis synchronization compatible: works with GSA-CC1S, SIGA-CC2A, EG1M-RM Signal Master, and built-in sync on VS, VM, and FX Series panels
  • Standard 12-18 AWG wiring: no special cable runs, connects directly to existing NAC loop wiring

System requirements

Operates on 24 VDC or 24 VFWR notification appliance circuits (16-33V operating range). Compatible with Kidde VS Series, VM Series, and FX Series fire alarm control panels. Synchronization via built-in panel sync or external modules (GSA-CC1S, SIGA-CC2A, GSA-MCC1S, GSA-MCC2A).

What voltage does this horn-strobe need?
Operates on 24 VDC or 24 VFWR notification appliance circuits (16-33V operating range). Connects directly to standard NAC loops - no separate power supply required.
Can I change the candela output in the field?
Yes. Four switch positions (D, C, B, A) allow field-selectable candela. Indoor UL 1971 ratings: 15, 29, 70, 87 cd. Outdoor UL 1638 ratings at -35°C: 6, 12, 28, 35 cd.
What electrical box does this mount to outdoors?
For outdoor or wet locations, mount to a Kidde Model 449 (gray) or 74347U (red) surface-mount box. For dry indoor locations, a standard 4-inch square by 1.5-inch deep box works. Optional trim skirt WG4RTS (red) covers the rough-in.
Is this compatible with Genesis synchronization?
Yes. Works with external sync modules (GSA-CC1S, SIGA-CC2A, GSA-MCC1S, GSA-MCC2A), the EG1M-RM Genesis Signal Master, and built-in synchronization on Kidde VS, VM, and FX Series fire alarm control panels.
What is the operating temperature range?
Rated -40°F to 151°F (-40°C to 66°C). UL 1638 outdoor listing covers operation down to -35°C. Humidity rated 0-95% noncondensing.
How much current does this draw on the NAC loop?
At 24 VDC continuous horn-strobe: 107 mA at 15 cd (position D) up to 238 mA at 87 cd (position A). Factor these values when calculating NAC circuit loading.
