The Kidde Genesis LED WG4 speaker/strobe brings outdoor-rated notification to commercial fire alarm and mass notification systems without a dedicated outdoor enclosure. Dual-voltage speaker operation (25V or 70V selectable) and four selectable candela settings let you match the appliance to the circuit and the space on one trip - no swapping devices when the AHJ or engineer changes the spec.

Built for the commercial installer

UL 1971 listed for indoor use and UL 1638 listed for outdoor applications, the WG4 mounts to standard 4-inch square electrical boxes or the Kidde 74347U outdoor surface box. A full-backplane sealing gasket handles wet and harsh environments from -31F to 151F. Room-side wiring on #12-#18 AWG terminals means the appliance goes on after the box is wired, not before. All switch settings (candela, wattage, voltage) are visible through a sealed viewport display after installation for quick verification without pulling the device.

Key features

  • Field-selectable candela output: four settings (15/29/70/87 cd indoor, 6/12/28/35 cd outdoor) via S2 switch - adjust to code requirements without swapping hardware
  • Dual-voltage speaker: 25V or 70V selectable at S3, with four wattage taps (1/4W, 1/2W, 1W, 2W) for precise sound coverage across the circuit
  • Outdoor and indoor rated: UL 1971, UL 1638, and ULC listed with full-backplane gasket seal for wet environments
  • Genesis synchronization: syncs with VM/VS Series, FX Series panels, and compatible Genesis sync modules for code-compliant strobe timing
  • Standard electrical box mount: fits 4" square x 1-1/2" deep boxes, or use the 74347U surface box for outdoor wet locations
  • Temporal strobe option: JP1 jumper enables private-mode temporal flash for power-saving signaling applications

System requirements

Connects to a supervised amplifier signal circuit (25.2V or 70.7V RMS) for speaker operation and a supervised notification appliance circuit (20-24 VDC) for strobe operation on the FACP or NAC power supply. Compatible with Kidde VM and VS Series life safety systems, FX Series fire alarm control panels, and Genesis synchronization modules (GSA-CC1S, GSA-MCC1S, SIGA-CC2A, GSA-MCC2A, EG1M-RM).
