Kidde | Genesis Outdoor Wall Horn/Strobe, White, FIRE Marking, Selectable High-Candela Strobe, Clear Lens | WG4WF-HVMHC

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.
