Kidde | Genesis WG4 Outdoor Horn-Strobe, Field-Selectable Standard Candela, UL 1638, Red, No Marking | EWGAVRN

The Genesis WG4 outdoor horn-strobe handles wet, harsh, and extreme-temperature environments that would sideline lesser notification appliances. Rated from -40F to 151F and UL 1638-listed for outdoor use, it drops onto parking garage columns, exterior stairwells, and loading docks without requiring a separate weather enclosure.

Built for the commercial fire installer

Wall or ceiling mount in four orientations gives you layout flexibility on the job. Room-side wiring accepts 18 to 12 AWG, so there's no fighting to land conductors in the field. Four field-selectable candela settings (15/29/70/87 cd indoor) are changed with a slide switch without removing the device from the wall, and the current setting stays visible through a sealed viewport on the front cover.

Key features

• Field-selectable strobe output: four candela settings (15/29/70/87 cd indoor; 6/12/28/35 cd outdoor per UL 1638) changed via slide switch on the front
• UL 1971 and UL 1638 listed for indoor public-mode and outdoor notification applications
• Configurable horn pattern: temporal three-pulse (factory default) or steady for coded systems via jumper
• High and low dB horn settings: up to 97 dBA (UL 464), with a low-dB jumper that reduces output roughly 5 dB
• Genesis synchronization compatible: works with Signal Master, GSA-CC1S, SIGA-CC2A, and Kidde VS/VM/FX panels with built-in sync
• Optional trim skirt and sealing gasket for a clean finished look on surface-mount boxes

System requirements

Operates on 24 VDC or 24 VFWR notification circuits. For outdoor and wet locations, mount to a Model 449 or 74347U surface box. Indoor dry locations accept a standard 4-inch square by 1-1/2-inch deep box. A Genesis synchronization source is required when the device is configured for coded or synchronized operation.
