Genesis EWG Outdoor Horn/Strobe, White, ALERT Marking

SKU KD-EWGAVWA

  • Fast shipping from four branches
  • 30-day returns on unopened products

The EWGAVWA combines audible and visual mass notification signaling in one weatherproof, ALERT-marked appliance, built for rain, snow, and process areas that would sideline a standard indoor device.

Built for the commercial fire installer

High-performance LED strobe technology draws less current than legacy Xenon strobes, so more devices fit on a circuit with lower-gauge wire and fewer booster power supplies - and it's backward-compatible enough to mix on the same circuit as older Xenon strobes during a retrofit. The piezo horn reaches up to 86 dBA with selectable temporal or steady output, and the strobe offers field-selectable 15 or 30 cd output at the same current draw regardless of setting. The ALERT marking distinguishes mass notification signals from FIRE-marked devices on the same site.

Key features

  • NEMA 4X / IP66 listed for outdoor wet applications; IP67 compliant standalone
  • Field-selectable 15 or 30 cd strobe output, same current draw at either setting
  • Up to 86 dBA horn output (UL 464), selectable temporal or steady
  • Operating range -40°F to 151°F (-40°C to 66°C)
  • Quick-swap cover - change ALERT/FIRE/no marking without replacing the device
  • Ultra-slim profile, protrudes about 1.55 in. from the mounting surface

System requirements

Flush mount: 4-inch-square-deep box with EWGWMA adapter plate (white, sold separately). Surface mount: Model 449 (gray) or 74347U (red) weatherproof box with EWGWMA adapter plate and ring (sold separately). DC operating voltage only.

FAQs

Can I change the marking later?
Yes. Replaceable quick-swap covers let you change between ALERT, FIRE, and no-marking configurations without replacing the device.
Does the adapter plate come with the device?
No. Order an EWGWMA (white) or EWGRMA (red) adapter plate separately - it's required for both flush and surface mounting.
Can this mix with older Xenon strobes on the same circuit?
Yes. LED strobes are backward-compatible and can be mixed with legacy Xenon-based strobes on the same circuit and field of view.
Is this rated for outdoor use?
Yes. It carries NEMA 4X and IP66 listing when installed per the specifications, and is IP67 compliant as a standalone device.
