The Kidde Genesis WG4RF-HVMHC is an outdoor-rated wall mount horn-strobe that delivers selectable high candela strobe output and a 3.2 kHz horn tone on a single pair of wires. Rated for -40°F to 151°F operation and built to handle weather exposure when paired with the Model 449 surface mount box, it handles exterior egress paths, loading docks, and covered outdoor areas where code requires both audible and visual notification.

Built for the commercial fire installer

The WG4 series runs on standard 24 VDC or 24 VFWR NAC circuits with low current draw, keeping circuit loading manageable on long runs. Genesis synchronization is built in - pair it with compatible sync modules (GSA-CC1S, SIGA-CC2A), the EG1M-RM Signal Master, or any VS/VM/FX Series panel with Genesis sync on board. UL 464, UL 1638, UL 1971, ULC-S525, and ULC-S526 listed.

Key features

Selectable high candela output: four switch positions cover indoor and outdoor UL/ULC candela requirements up to 161 cd (UL 1971) and 65 cd (UL 1638 outdoor)
Outdoor rated to -40°F: operates from -40°F to 151°F at up to 95% RH noncondensing
Low current draw: efficient NAC loading lets you run more devices per circuit
Genesis synchronization: compatible with GSA-CC1S, SIGA-CC2A, EG1M-RM, APS6A/APS10A boosters, and VS/VM/FX panels
Simple wiring: field terminals accept 12-18 AWG, polarity indicated on wiring diagram
Red housing with FIRE marking and clear lens for code-compliant fire alarm notification

Mounting requirements

For weatherproof outdoor installations, mount to a Kidde Model 449 (gray) or 74347U (red) surface mount box. Indoor applications use a standard 4 in. square by 1.5 in. deep box. Optional WG4RTS surface skirt and WG4GSKT full body mounting gasket available for smooth-surface installations.

What electrical box does this horn-strobe need for outdoor use?

For weatherproof outdoor installations, use the Kidde Model 449 (gray) or 74347U (red) surface mount box. Indoor installations use a standard 4 in. square by 1.5 in. deep electrical box.

What candela settings are available?

Four switch-selectable settings. UL 1971 indoor ratings: 102, 123, 147, and 161 cd. UL 1638 outdoor ratings (at -35°C): 41, 50, 60, and 65 cd.

Does this support Genesis synchronization?

Yes. Compatible with Genesis auto-sync output modules (GSA-CC1S, SIGA-CC2A, GSA-MCC1S, GSA-MCC2A), the EG1M-RM Signal Master, booster power supplies (APS6A, APS10A, MIRMIRBPS6A, MIRMIRBPS10A), and VS/VM/FX Series panels with built-in Genesis sync.

What wire gauge does it accept?

Field terminals accept 12 to 18 AWG (0.75 to 2.50 mm²).

Can this horn-strobe be used indoors too?

Yes. The WG4 series is rated for both indoor and outdoor use. Indoor candela ratings (UL 1971) are higher than outdoor ratings (UL 1638) at the same switch position. Mount to a standard 4 in. square box for indoor applications.

What accessories are available for the WG4 series?

WG4RTS surface skirt (red), WG4WTS surface skirt (white), and WG4GSKT full body mounting gasket for smooth-surface installations. Trim plates (WG4RTP red, WG4WTP white) available for finished wall applications.
