The EWGVMWF is a Genesis LED EWG Series outdoor wall-mount strobe built for visible notification on commercial fire alarm systems. Rated for indoor and outdoor use from -40 to 151F, it covers parking garages, loading docks, process areas, and other wet or harsh environments where reliable strobe notification is required.

Built for the commercial installer

Low-profile design mounts to standard outdoor electrical boxes (Model 449 or 74347U) or standard 4-inch square indoor boxes. Room-side wiring accepts 12 to 18 AWG conductors. The field-selectable multi-candela strobe offers multiple output settings adjusted via a sealed viewport on the front of the unit - no cover removal required after installation. White housing with red FIRE marking meets code requirements for visible-only notification zones. UL 1971 and UL 1638 listed for both indoor hearing-impaired and outdoor notification applications.

Key features

  • Outdoor and indoor rated: -40 to 151F (-40 to 66C), 0 to 95% relative humidity
  • Field-selectable candela output: multiple settings adjusted through a sealed viewport without removing the cover
  • UL 1971 and UL 1638 listed: compliant for indoor hearing-impaired and outdoor notification applications
  • Room-side wiring: 12 to 18 AWG, all connections behind the device
  • Genesis synchronization compatible: syncs with Genesis Signal Master, VS/VM/FX Series panels, and auto-sync output modules
  • Low-profile wall mount: 1.4" depth for easy box clearance

System requirements

Operates on 24 VDC or 24 VFWR notification appliance circuits. When multiple strobes share the same field of view, a Genesis-compatible synchronization source is required. Options include the EG1M-RM Genesis Signal Master, auto-sync output modules (GSA-CC1S, SIGA-CC2A, GSA-MCC1S, GSA-MCC2A), booster power supplies (APS6A, APS10A), or VS/VM/FX Series panels with built-in Genesis sync. For outdoor or wet-location mounting, use the Model 449 or 74347U surface-mount box.

FAQs

What electrical box do I need for outdoor mounting?
For outdoor or wet locations, use the Model 449 or 74347U surface-mount box. In dry indoor locations, the strobe fits a standard 4-inch square by 1-1/2" deep electrical box.
Can I adjust the candela setting after the cover is installed?
Yes. The multi-candela output is set through a sealed viewport on the front of the device. You can read and change the setting without removing the cover.
Do I need a synchronization module?
When multiple strobes share the same field of view, yes - NFPA 72 requires it. Use the EG1M-RM Genesis Signal Master, auto-sync modules (GSA-CC1S, SIGA-CC2A), or VS/VM/FX panels with built-in Genesis sync.
Does this strobe work with my Kidde fire alarm panel?
Yes. Runs on 24 VDC or 24 VFWR NAC circuits. Compatible with VS, VM, and FX Series panels. Any panel or booster with a regulated 24V NAC output and Genesis sync support will drive this strobe.
Is this strobe rated for outdoor use?
Yes. Rated from -40 to 151°F (-40 to 66°C) with 0 to 95% relative humidity tolerance. Suitable for parking garages, loading docks, covered outdoor areas, and other harsh or wet environments. UL 1638 listed for outdoor notification.
