The Kidde EWGVMWN is an outdoor-rated Genesis EWG wall strobe built for NAC circuits that need weather-resistant visual notification without an audible component. Multi-candela output (15-115cd, field-selectable) delivers code-compliant coverage across a range of mounting distances, and the IP66/NEMA 4X enclosure handles exposed installations where indoor-rated devices can't.

Built for the commercial installer

The EWG strobe mounts directly to a standard 4-inch square electrical box - no proprietary backplates or adapter brackets. The outdoor-rated housing carries IP66 and NEMA 3R/4/4X ratings with an operating range of -40°F to 151°F, covering loading docks, parking structures, covered walkways, and exterior egress paths. UL 1638, UL 1971, and ULC-S526 listed. White housing with no marking - deploy where audible notification is already handled by a separate device on the circuit, or where visual-only signaling meets the AHJ's requirements.

Key features

Multi-candela field selection (15-115cd): adjust output to match the coverage area without swapping the device
IP66, NEMA 3R/4/4X rated: handles rain, dust, hose-down, and temperature extremes from -40°F to 151°F
Standard 4" square box mount: no special hardware, no adapter plates
Low current draw: maximizes device count per NAC circuit
White housing, unmarked: blends into commercial and industrial exterior finishes without "FIRE" marking restrictions
UL 1638, UL 1971, ULC-S526 listed: meets commercial fire alarm notification standards for outdoor applications

System requirements

Connects to any fire alarm control panel (FACP) NAC circuit providing 12-33V DC or FWR. For SLC-connected addressable systems, pair with the appropriate monitor/control module per the panel manufacturer's wiring guide.

Does this strobe work outdoors in all weather conditions?

Yes. IP66 and NEMA 3R/4/4X rated - handles rain, snow, dust, and direct hose-down. Operating range: -40°F to 151°F. Covers loading docks, parking structures, walkways, and other exposed commercial installations.

What candela settings are available?

Field-selectable multi-candela output from 15cd to 115cd. Adjust the setting based on the required coverage distance per NFPA 72 visible notification spacing tables - no need to swap the device for different coverage areas.

What electrical box does this mount to?

Standard 4-inch square electrical box. No proprietary backplates or adapter brackets required.

Can I use this strobe without a horn on the same circuit?

Yes. The EWG is strobe-only. Pair with a separate Genesis horn or horn-strobe on the same NAC circuit if audible notification is needed. Works standalone where visual-only signaling meets the AHJ's requirements.

Is this listed for commercial fire alarm use?

UL 1638 (Visual Signaling Devices for Fire Alarm and Signaling Systems) and UL 1971 (Signaling Devices for Hearing Impaired) listed, plus ULC-S526 for Canadian installations.

What voltage does this strobe need?

Operates on 12-33V DC or FWR from the FACP NAC circuit. No separate power supply required.
