The Kidde Genesis WG4WF-SVMHC puts both high-output audible and visual notification on a single outdoor-rated device. Dual-voltage 25/70V speaker with field-selectable wattage and four candela settings means one SKU covers a range of NAC circuit designs - fewer part numbers to stock, fewer return trips to the supply house.

Built for the commercial fire installer

UL 1638 listed for outdoor installations and UL 1971 listed for indoor use. The Genesis outdoor housing handles temperature extremes from -31°F to 151°F and humidity up to 95% noncondensing, so it holds up in loading docks, parking structures, covered walkways, and other weather-exposed locations where code requires both audible and visual notification.

Key features

  • Dual-voltage 25/70V speaker with field-selectable 1/4, 1/2, 1, or 2 watt taps - matches the job without swapping devices
  • Four selectable candela settings (102, 123, 147, or 161 cd indoor / 41, 50, 60, 65 cd outdoor) cover most spacing requirements
  • 90 dBA output at 2W for reliable audible coverage in high-ambient-noise environments
  • Outdoor rated (UL 1638) with operating range down to -31°F - installs in exposed locations other devices can't handle
  • White housing with FIRE marking and clear lens - code-compliant appearance out of the box
  • Standard box mounting - Edwards 74347U for wet locations, 4" square by 1-1/2" deep for dry
