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.

FAQs

What candela settings are available on this horn/strobe?
Four selectable positions via DIP switch. UL 1971 indoor ratings: 102, 123, 147, and 161 cd (positions D, C, B, A). UL 1638 outdoor ratings at -35°C: 41, 50, 60, and 65 cd. CAN/ULC-S526 outdoor ratings at -40°C: 11, 14, 17, and 18 cd.
What electrical box does this require for outdoor installation?
Model 449 (gray, outdoor rated) or 74347U surface mount box. These are required for waterproof applications. For indoor use, a standard 4 in. square by 1.5 in. deep box works.
Does this horn/strobe synchronize with other Genesis devices?
Yes. Compatible with the Genesis Signal Master (EG1M-RM), auto-sync output modules (GSA-CC1S, SIGA-CC2A, GSA-MCC1S, GSA-MCC2A), booster/auxiliary power supplies (APS6A, APS10A), and VS/VM/FX Series panels with built-in Genesis synchronization.
What is the horn sound output?
At 24V, UL 464 sound output is 94.7 dBA on continuous high, 89.5 dBA on continuous low, 90.5 dBA on temporal high, and 85.4 dBA on temporal low. Horn tone is 3.2 kHz. Sound pattern is field-selectable between continuous and temporal.
Can this be used indoors as well as outdoors?
Yes. The outdoor rating means it handles both environments. For indoor mounting, use a standard 4 in. square by 1.5 in. deep box. The outdoor rating covers -40°F to 151°F and up to 95% noncondensing humidity.
