SKU:
KD-WG4RN-SVMHC

The WG4RN-SVMHC covers voice notification and high-output visual signaling in one weatherproof device, built for parking garages, loading docks, and other exposed areas where a standard-output strobe won't cut it.

Built for the commercial fire installer

Field-selectable speaker taps (1/4, 1/2, 1, or 2 watt) and voltage (25V or 70V) let one part number cover most audio circuit designs, and the strobe's four high-output candela settings (102/123/147/161 cd indoor, up to 65 cd outdoor per UL 1638) are set the same way - remove the cover and slide a switch, no separate model needed per candela rating. Settings stay visible after the cover goes back on through a sealed viewport. The full backplane sealing gasket allows installation to recessed in-the-pour boxes as well as surface boxes on raceways, and the shallow, low-profile housing rejects the elements down to -31°F.

Key features

  • Field-selectable speaker wattage (1/4, 1/2, 1, 2W) and voltage (25V/70V)
  • Field-selectable high-output strobe candela - 4 settings without swapping devices
  • Rated -31°F to 151°F, indoor or outdoor
  • Wall or ceiling mount, strobe positionable above, below, or to either side
  • UL 1971/1638 synchronization compatible with Genesis and Integrity signals on the same circuit
  • Room-side wiring - all connections made from inside for a faster install

System requirements

Wet locations require a Kidde 74347U outdoor-rated box; dry locations use a standard 4-inch square by 1-1/2-inch deep box (2-1/8-inch deep if using the optional WG4RTS trim skirt). Strobe synchronization requires a compatible control module (VM/VS/FX Series panels or GSA-CC1S/SIGA-CC2A-family modules).

Can I select a different candela setting without ordering a new device?
Yes. High-output models offer four field-selectable candela settings via the S2 switch, viewable through a sealed viewport after installation.

A Kidde 74347U outdoor-rated electrical box is recommended for wet locations; a WG4RTS red trim skirt is available for a finished appearance.
Does this synchronize with other Genesis strobes?
Yes. It meets UL 1971 synchronization requirements (within 10 ms over 2 hours) when used with a compatible synchronization source.
