The Kidde Genesis WG4WA-SVMC is an outdoor-rated wall-mount speaker-strobe built for emergency communications and mass notification systems. Field-selectable 25V or 70V speaker input and multi-candela strobe output (15/29/70/87 cd) make it a single-SKU solution for a range of outdoor notification requirements - one device in stock covers multiple job specs.
Built for the commercial installer
UL 1638 outdoor listed and rated for -31°F to 151°F, the WG4WA-SVMC handles exposed exterior installations without a separate weatherproof enclosure. The speaker and strobe share a single run of 12-18 AWG wire. Candela and wattage (1/4, 1/2, 1, or 2W) are both set in the field with switches, so one stocked model covers multiple plans without reordering. Compatible with Kidde FX Series FACPs, VM/VS Series power supplies, and Genesis sync modules for code-compliant synchronized strobe operation.
