KD-EWGVMRN

The Kidde EWGVMRN is a Genesis LED EWG Series outdoor-rated strobe with field-selectable candela output from 15 to 115 cd. Designed for parking garages, loading docks, process areas, and any exterior application where visual notification needs to cut through harsh conditions and ambient light without compromise.

Built for outdoor and harsh-environment installs

UL 1638-listed for outdoor use and UL 1971-listed for indoor wall or ceiling applications. The operating temperature range spans -40°F to 151°F, covering everything from cold-storage facilities to sun-exposed exterior walls. The low-profile housing fits standard 4-inch square electrical boxes in dry locations, or Model 449/74347U outdoor-rated surface boxes for wet environments. Red housing with clear lens and no "FIRE" marking for applications where unmarked visual notification is required.

Key features

  • Field-selectable multi-candela output: four intensity settings from 15 to 115 cd adjusted via an internal switch - no rewiring required
  • UL 1638 outdoor rated for wet and harsh environments including parking structures, loading docks, and covered process areas
  • Wall or ceiling mount in four orientations for maximum placement flexibility on the job
  • Room-side wiring accepts 12 to 18 AWG for fast, clean termination
  • Genesis synchronization compatible to meet UL 1971 sync requirements across the notification circuit
  • Candela setting visible after installation through a sealed viewport - verify without opening the device

System requirements

Operates on 24 VDC or 24 VFWR nominal notification circuits. Compatible with Genesis synchronization sources including GSA-CC1S, SIGA-CC2A, and the Genesis Signal Master (EG1M-RM). Pairs with Kidde VS, VM, and FX Series fire alarm control panels with built-in Genesis synchronization.

What candela settings are available on the EWGVMRN?
Four field-selectable settings from 15 to 115 cd. Adjust via an internal switch with no rewiring. The selected setting is visible through a sealed viewport after installation.
Can this strobe be ceiling-mounted?
Yes. The EWGVMRN supports wall or ceiling mounting in four orientations (strobe lens above, below, or to either side of the mounting plate).
What electrical box does this require for outdoor installations?
For outdoor or wet locations, use a Model 449 or 74347U surface mount box. For indoor dry locations, a standard 4-inch square by 1.5-inch deep electrical box works. Optional trim skirt WG4RTS requires a 4-inch square by 2-1/8-inch deep box.
Does this need a synchronization module?
Genesis EWG strobes meet UL 1971 sync requirements when paired with a compatible sync source: GSA-CC1S, SIGA-CC2A, or the Genesis Signal Master (EG1M-RM). Kidde VS, VM, and FX Series panels include built-in Genesis synchronization.
Is this strobe rated for outdoor use?
Yes. UL 1638-listed for outdoor applications. Rated from -40 to 151°F with 0 to 95% noncondensing humidity. Pair with a Model 449 or 74347U outdoor-rated box for wet installations.
What is the difference between FIRE-marked and no-marking models?
FIRE-marked models display the word "FIRE" on the strobe lens or housing. No-marking models like the EWGVMRN have a clean lens with no text, used in applications where code allows or requires unmarked notification devices.
