SKU:
KD-EWGAVWF

The Kidde Genesis WG4 outdoor horn-strobe delivers audible and visual fire notification in a single NEMA 4X / IP56-rated wall-mount appliance. Built for exterior and harsh-environment installations where weather exposure is a given, the WG4 runs on standard 24 VDC or VFWR NAC circuits and synchronizes with Genesis-compatible panels and modules without additional hardware.

Built for the commercial installer

NEMA 4X and IP56 ratings handle rain, ice, dust, and temperature extremes from -40°F to 151°F without a separate enclosure. It mounts to standard outdoor-rated electrical boxes (Model 449 or 74347U) or indoor 4-inch square boxes, and accepts 12-18 AWG field wiring. UL 464, UL 1638, and UL 1971 listed for U.S. installations. ULC-S525, ULC-S526, and ULC-S541 listed for Canadian installations.

Key features

  • Field-selectable candela output: four switch positions (15, 29, 70, 87 cd per UL 1971 indoor) let you match coverage to the space without swapping hardware
  • Field-selectable volume and tone: high/low volume with continuous or temporal Code 3 patterns, all set at the device
  • Genesis LED synchronization: strobes sync across the circuit with compatible panels (VS, VM, FX Series) or external sync modules (GSA-CC1S, SIGA-CC2A)
  • NEMA 4X / IP56 weather protection: rated for direct outdoor mounting without additional enclosures
  • Efficient LED strobe technology: low current draw reduces NAC circuit loading, supporting longer wire runs and more devices per circuit
  • Standard mounting: fits outdoor Model 449 or 74347U boxes, or indoor 4 in. square by 1.5 in. deep boxes

System requirements

Operates on regulated 24 VDC or 24 VFWR NAC circuits. Compatible with Genesis synchronization from VS Series, VM Series, and FX Series control panels, or through external sync modules (GSA-CC1S, SIGA-CC2A, GSA-MCC1S, GSA-MCC2A) and Genesis Signal Master (EG1M-RM). Wire with 12-18 AWG conductors.

What candela settings are available on this model?
Four field-selectable switch positions. UL 1971 indoor ratings: 15, 29, 70, and 87 cd. UL 1638 outdoor ratings at -35°C: 12, 28, and 35 cd. No tools required to change settings.
Does this horn-strobe work outdoors without an additional enclosure?
Yes. NEMA 4X and IP56 rated for direct outdoor mounting. Operating temperature range is -40°F to 151°F (-40°C to 66°C), 0-95% humidity noncondensing.
What control panels support Genesis synchronization?
VS Series, VM Series, and FX Series panels with built-in Genesis synchronization. External sync modules (GSA-CC1S, SIGA-CC2A, GSA-MCC1S, GSA-MCC2A) and Genesis Signal Master (EG1M-RM) also provide sync on panels without built-in support.
What electrical box does this mount to?
Outdoor installations: Model 449 (gray) or 74347U (red) surface-mount boxes. Indoor installations: standard 4 in. square by 1.5 in. deep box. Accepts 12-18 AWG wiring.
Is a high-candela version available?
Yes. The WG4WF-HVMHC offers high-candela output for larger or open spaces. Order separately under SKU KD-EWGAVWHF (if available) or contact SS&Si for ordering details.
