The Genesis WG4WF-S is an outdoor-rated fire alarm speaker built for installations where weather exposure and harsh environments are part of the job. IP56 rated with a Type B outdoor enclosure per UL 1638, it handles rain, dust, and temperature extremes from -31Ā°F to 151Ā°F without compromising audio output or reliability.
Built for the commercial fire installer
Field-selectable 25V or 70V operation with four wattage taps (Ā¼W, Ā½W, 1W, 2W) means one SKU covers a range of system designs without stocking multiple models. Compatible with Kidde VM and VS Series life safety systems and FX Series fire alarm control panels. Mounts on wall or ceiling using standard 4" square boxes, and the tamper-resistant housing keeps the installation secure in public or unsupervised spaces.
