The Kidde Genesis LED WG4 outdoor speaker-strobe puts weatherproof notification on exterior walls without adding complexity to the NAC circuit. IP66-rated and UL 1971 listed for outdoor use, it handles rain, snow, and temperature swings from -31Ā°F to 150Ā°F while drawing less current than conventional strobes - which means more devices per NAC run and fewer power supply additions on the job.
Built for the commercial fire installer
The WG4 mounts directly to a standard 4-inch square electrical box with no adapter plate. Field-selectable candela (15, 29, 70, or 87 cd per UL 1971 indoor rating) adjusts via DIP switches on the back of the unit - no need to stock multiple models for different spacing requirements. The speaker runs on 25 or 70 VRMS (field-selectable) with four wattage taps from 1/4W to 2W, matching output to the coverage zone without over-driving.
Synchronization works with the Genesis SignalMaster accessory or any compatible FACP sync protocol, keeping strobes in lockstep across the building for ADA and NFPA 72 compliance. UL 464, UL 1638, UL 1971, ULC-S526, and ULC-S541 listed.
Key features
- IP66 weather-rated and UL 1971 outdoor listed - covers exterior doors, loading docks, parking structures, covered walkways
- Low-current NAC draw - Genesis patented technology fits more devices per circuit, reducing power supply count on the job
- Field-selectable candela and speaker taps - one SKU covers multiple spacing and output requirements via DIP switches
- Mounts to standard 4" square box - no proprietary backbox or adapter plate needed
- Temporal Pattern 3 audible - meets ANSI S3.41 / ISO 8201 for coded fire alarm signaling
- Synchronizable strobes - via Genesis SignalMaster or compatible FACP sync output for NFPA 72 and ADA compliance
System requirements
Connects to any fire alarm control panel with a supervised NAC output (16-33V DC FWR). Speaker circuits require a 25V or 70V audio source. For multi-device synchronization, add a Genesis SignalMaster to the NAC circuit or use a panel with built-in Genesis sync capability.
