The Kidde Genesis WG4WF-HVMHC is an outdoor-rated wall horn/strobe that handles both audible and visual notification on a single NAC circuit. Selectable high-candela strobe output with a clear lens delivers code-compliant coverage in outdoor and harsh-environment applications where standard-candela devices fall short.
Built for outdoor fire notification
Rated from -40°F to 151°F with 0-95% noncondensing humidity tolerance, this unit handles exposed exterior installs without derating. Genesis patented low-current technology keeps NAC power budgets manageable even on long wire runs. The 3.2 kHz horn tone meets current audibility standards, and four field-selectable candela positions let you dial strobe output to the application without swapping hardware.
Key features
- Selectable high-candela strobe output: four DIP switch positions cover 102 to 161 cd (UL 1971 indoor) for flexible code compliance
- Outdoor rated to -40°F: UL 1638 and CAN/ULC-S526 listed for outdoor use, no derating required
- Genesis low-current technology: reduces NAC power consumption, allowing more devices per circuit
- Synchronizable: works with Genesis Signal Master, auto-sync output modules, and FX/VS/VM panels with built-in sync
- FIRE marking, white housing: clear lens with red FIRE lettering for immediate identification
- 24 VDC/VFWR operation: powers directly from the fire alarm panel NAC output
Mounting
Installs on a Model 449 or 74347U outdoor surface mount box for weatherproof applications, or a standard 4-inch square by 1.5-inch deep box for indoor use. Accepts 12 to 18 AWG field wiring.
