The Kidde Genesis G4 Outdoor Horn-Strobe delivers audible and visual fire notification on outdoor commercial circuits without compromising weatherproof integrity. Wall or ceiling mount, field-selectable multi-candela strobe output (15, 30, 75, or 110 cd), and Code 3 temporal horn pattern - all from one device on a standard NAC circuit.

Built for the commercial fire installer

UL 464 and UL 1638 listed, plus ULC. The outdoor-rated housing handles temperatures from -40°F to 151°F and humidity up to 93% RH. Pair it with Kidde's Model 449 electrical box for full waterproof applications - the same box used across the Genesis outdoor family, so you stock one SKU for the whole job.

Key features

  • Multi-candela strobe: field-selectable 15, 30, 75, or 110 cd output - set it at the device, no panel programming required
  • Wall or ceiling mount: single device covers both orientations for flexible placement
  • Outdoor rated: -40°F to 151°F operating range, weatherproof with Model 449 box
  • Synchronized notification: compatible with Genesis Signal Master for code-compliant synchronized strobe flash
  • Low current draw: maximizes NAC circuit device count, reducing panel and power supply requirements
  • Clear lens, red housing, no marking: clean appearance for applications where "FIRE" marking is not required

Mounting requirements

Mounts to standard 4-inch square electrical boxes. For outdoor waterproof installations, the Kidde Model 449 weatherproof electrical box is required (sold separately). Indoor installations use standard flush or surface-mount boxes.
