The Kidde Genesis WG4 outdoor rated wall horn delivers a powerful 3.2 kHz piezo tone for fire alarm notification in parking garages, process areas, and other challenging environments. Rated for indoor and outdoor use with an operating range of -40F to 151F, it handles wet and harsh conditions that sideline lesser notification appliances.
Built for the commercial installer
Wall or ceiling mountable with room-side wiring for straightforward installation. Accepts 18 to 12 AWG wiring and fits standard 4-inch square boxes indoors or Model 449/74347U boxes in outdoor and wet locations. Field-configurable horn pattern (temporal or coded) and volume (high or low dB) via jumper cuts on the circuit board - no separate ordering for different configurations. UL 464 and ULC-S525 listed.
Key features
- Outdoor and indoor rated: operates from -40F to 151F at 0-95% humidity, purpose-built for parking garages, process areas, and exposed environments
- Powerful piezo horn output: up to 94.7 dBA (UL 464) at 24V continuous, with field-selectable high/low volume
- Field-configurable patterns: factory-set 3-pulse temporal, convertible to coded operation via jumper cut for coded NAC panels
- Room-side wiring: all connections made from the front, accepts 18-12 AWG wire for flexible pulls
- Low-profile design: only 1.4 inches deep, leaving clearance behind the device for wire management
- Genesis sync compatible: works with VS Series, VM Series, and FX Series panels with built-in synchronization
Mounting options
Mounts to standard 4-inch square boxes in dry indoor locations or Model 449/74347U outdoor-rated boxes for wet environments. The optional WG4WTS white trim skirt provides a clean finished look on surface-mounted boxes. An optional full backplane gasket (WG4GSKT) allows installation to recessed electrical boxes.
