The Kidde Genesis WG4RF-SVMHC is an outdoor-rated speaker/strobe that mounts on the wall or ceiling and handles both audible and visual notification from a single device. Dual-voltage operation (25V or 70V, field-selectable) drops it onto existing NAC circuits without rewiring, and four field-selectable wattage taps (1/4, 1/2, 1, or 2W) let you dial in sound coverage to the space. The high-output clear strobe covers 102, 123, 147, or 161 cd - all set from inside the device, no special tools.

Built for the commercial installer

UL 1638 listed for outdoor use and UL 1971 listed for indoor, so one SKU covers parking garages, loading docks, process areas, and interior corridors alike. Rated for wet environments down to -31°F and up to 151°F. Mounts to standard 4-inch square electrical boxes, or use the Kidde 74347U surface mount box for outdoor and wet-location installs. All wiring is room-side - no pulling conductors through the backplane. Accepts 12 to 18 AWG field wiring.

Key features

Field-selectable everything: voltage (25V/70V), wattage (1/4 to 2W), and candela (102/123/147/161 cd) all configurable at install without returning to the shop
Sealed viewport display keeps wattage and candela settings visible after cover installation for easy inspection and AHJ verification
UL 1638 outdoor rated with full backplane sealing gasket for wet and harsh environments
Genesis sync compatible with VM/VS Series, FX Series panels, and standard sync modules (GSA-CC1S, SIGA-CC2A, and others)
Temporal strobe output configurable via JP1 jumper for private-mode signaling applications
Room-side wiring on 12-18 AWG keeps installation fast and the backplane sealed

System requirements

Connects to any listed fire alarm control panel with supervised 25V or 70V speaker circuits and 24 VDC/VFWR strobe circuits. Strobe synchronization requires a compatible sync source - VM or VS Series life safety systems, FX Series panels, or dedicated sync modules (GSA-CC1S, GSA-MCC1S, SIGA-CC2A, GSA-MCC2A, EG1M-RM). For outdoor or wet-location surface mounting, use the Kidde 74347U box. Optional WG4RTS red trim skirt available for a finished appearance on 4-inch square boxes.
