The Genesis G4 Speaker-Strobe delivers clear voice audio and amber strobe notification in Kidde's lowest-profile wall mount form factor - just one inch from the wall. Field-selectable wattage taps (1/4, 1/2, 1, or 2W) and candela output let you dial in coverage without pulling the device off the box, cutting install time and eliminating return trips for adjustments.

Built for the commercial installer

Flush-mounts to any standard North-American 4-inch square electrical box (2-1/8" deep) with no extension ring or trim plate required. Separate polarized screw terminals for speaker and strobe circuits accept #18 to #12 AWG wiring. Red housing with ALERT marking and amber polycarbonate lens positions this device for fire alarm signaling applications. UL 1971, UL 1638, UL 1480, and ULC-S541 listed. MEA and CSFM approved.

Key features

  • Field-configurable output: selectable wattage (1/4W, 1/2W, 1W, 2W) and candela (95, 65, 26, 13 cd) without removing the device from the box
  • Ultra low-profile: protrudes just 1" from the wall with no visible mounting screws
  • 25 VRMS or 70 VRMS operation with DC blocking capacitor for audio circuit supervision
  • FullLight strobe technology for even light distribution across the coverage area
  • Synchronized strobes when paired with compatible Kidde sync sources (GSA-CC1S, SIGA-CC2A, and others)
  • Fits standard 4" square boxes - no extension ring or trim plate needed

System requirements

Requires a listed FACP or audio amplifier with supervised speaker circuit (25 VRMS or 70 VRMS). Strobe circuit requires 16-33 Vdc regulated or full-wave rectified power. A synchronization source is required for UL 1971 compliance on multi-strobe circuits.

FAQs

Does this speaker-strobe require a synchronization module?
Yes. All Genesis strobes require a compatible synchronization source to comply with UL 1971. Compatible modules include the GSA-CC1S, GSA-MCC1S, SIGA-CC2A, GSA-MCC2A, EG1M-RM, and select Kidde power supplies (MIRBPS6A, MIRBPS10A, APS6A, APS10A).
Can I adjust the wattage and candela in the field?
Yes. Both settings are field-configurable via slide switches accessible through small windows on the device. No removal from the electrical box required.
What electrical box does this mount to?
Standard North-American 4-inch square electrical box, minimum 2-1/8" (54mm) deep. For surface installations, use the optional EG4RB red surface mount box.
Is this compatible with 25V and 70V speaker circuits?
Yes. The Genesis G4 speaker-strobe operates on both 25 VRMS and 70 VRMS speaker circuits and includes a DC blocking capacitor for audio circuit supervision.
What is the difference between ALERT and FIRE marking?
ALERT and FIRE markings are cosmetic distinctions determined by the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ). Both function identically. This model carries the ALERT marking. FIRE-marked models are available as separate SKUs.
