SKU:
KD-EWGVWF

The Genesis LED EWG outdoor wall strobe delivers code-compliant visual notification in parking garages, loading docks, covered walkways, and other outdoor or semi-protected environments. Low-current LED technology means fewer booster power supplies on the NAC circuit - more strobes per run, fewer boxes on the wall.

Built for the commercial fire installer

Field-selectable 15 or 30 cd output covers standard-candela applications without the guesswork. The quad-lens LED optic provides uniform light distribution across the required field of view while drawing a fraction of the current of legacy xenon strobes. Genesis synchronization protocol ensures all devices on the circuit flash in unison per NFPA 72.

Key features

  • Outdoor rated: UL listed for outdoor and semi-protected locations where conventional indoor strobes can't go
  • Low-current LED design: reduces NAC power supply requirements and supports longer wire runs
  • Field-selectable output: 15 or 30 cd standard candela settings configured at install
  • Genesis synchronization: compatible with Kidde panels featuring built-in Genesis sync protocol
  • White housing with FIRE marking: meets code requirements for visible notification appliance labeling

System requirements

Connects to any compatible Kidde fire alarm panel NAC circuit. For panels without built-in Genesis synchronization, use a GSA-CC1S or SIGA-CC2A sync module. Mounts to standard 4-inch square electrical boxes or Kidde outdoor surface-mount boxes (Model 449) for wet locations.

What candela settings are available on the EWGVWF?
The EWGVWF offers field-selectable 15 or 30 cd output, configured at install via the selector on the device. No need to stock separate models for different candela requirements.
Does this strobe work in outdoor and wet locations?
Yes. The Genesis LED EWG series is UL listed for outdoor and semi-protected locations - parking garages, loading docks, covered walkways. For fully exposed installs, use a Kidde Model 449 outdoor surface box for wiring protection.
Can Genesis LED strobes share a circuit with older xenon Genesis strobes?
Yes. Genesis LED devices are backwards compatible with legacy xenon-based Genesis strobes on the same NAC circuit and synchronize correctly.
Why choose LED over xenon for outdoor strobes?
LED strobes draw significantly less current than xenon equivalents, allowing more devices per NAC circuit and reducing the need for booster power supplies. The solid-state LED source also eliminates xenon tube replacement over the life of the system.
