The Kidde Genesis EWG outdoor speaker-strobe delivers audible and visual fire notification in exterior and semi-protected environments where standard indoor devices won't survive. Rated for -31F to 150F, this wall-mount unit handles loading docks, parking garages, covered walkways, and exposed building entries without needing a separate weatherproof enclosure.

Built for the commercial fire installer

A four-position candela switch (15/29/70/87 cd) sets strobe output in the field without swapping hardware - size it to the space once and move on. The speaker accepts 25 or 70 VRMS taps, compatible with standard fire alarm NAC speaker circuits. UL 1638, UL 1480, and UL 464 listed for U.S. installations. ULC listed for Canadian jobs. ADA compliant for visual notification requirements.

FAQs

What candela settings are available on the EWGSVRF?
Field-selectable via a four-position switch: 15, 29, 70, or 87 cd. This is the standard output model. Set it during installation to match the space requirements - no hardware swap needed.
Can this speaker-strobe be used outdoors without an enclosure?
Yes. The Genesis EWG is rated for -31°F to 150°F and designed for outdoor and semi-protected environments. Loading docks, parking structures, covered walkways, and exposed entries are all fair game without an additional weatherproof box.
What fire alarm circuits does this connect to?
Standard NAC speaker circuits from any compatible FACP. The strobe runs on regulated 24 VDC or filtered 24 V FWR. The speaker runs on regulated 12 VDC or filtered 12 V FWR. Two speaker tap options: 25 VRMS and 70 VRMS.
Is the Genesis EWG speaker-strobe UL listed?
Yes. UL 1638 (Visual Signaling Devices), UL 1480 (Speakers for Fire Alarm), and UL 464 (Audible Signal Appliances). Also ULC listed for Canadian installations.
Does the strobe synchronize with other Genesis devices?
Yes, via an external synchronization module on the same NAC circuit. All Genesis strobes on the loop will flash in unison when the sync module is installed.
