The Genesis WG4 EWGSVWF puts a speaker and synchronized strobe on exterior walls, parking structures, and process areas where weather and harsh conditions rule out standard indoor notification appliances. Wet-rated and listed to both UL 1971 (indoor) and UL 1638 (outdoor), it handles fire alarm notification in environments from -31F to 151F without requiring additional weatherproofing enclosures.

Built for the commercial fire alarm installer

Field-selectable speaker output (1/4, 1/2, 1, or 2 watts at 25V or 70V) and four candela settings (15/29/70/87 cd standard output, clear lens) mean one SKU covers a range of coverage zones without stocking multiple appliances. A full backplane sealing gasket lets the device mount to recessed or surface boxes in wet locations. All wiring connects room-side on 12-18 AWG terminals, and the device mounts in four orientations for flexible wall placement.
