The Kidde Genesis LED G4SVWA-A is a wall mount mass notification speaker-strobe that combines high-output audio with a 75 cd amber strobe in a single low-profile appliance. Field-selectable 25V/70V operation and four wattage taps (1/4W to 2W) mean one SKU covers the job instead of stocking separate models for different system voltages.
Built for the commercial installer
The G4 series mounts on standard 2-gang and 4-inch square electrical boxes with the GRSW room side wiring plate (ordered separately). Pre-wire the plate, snap the device in, and the wiring is done - no pigtails, no splices in the box. Under-cover test points and a check bar on the wiring plate let you verify speaker and strobe circuits without pulling the device off the wall. UL listed (S218, S5389), FCC Part 15, and FM Approved.
Key features
- 25V/70V field-selectable: one switch under the cover sets the audio voltage - no need to swap devices when the system design changes
- 0.81 STI speech intelligibility: exceeds the 0.70 minimum required by NFPA 72 for mass notification voice evacuation
- 520Hz low-frequency capable: meets NFPA 72 sleeping area requirements when wattage is set to reach 75 dBA at the pillow
- LED strobe technology: backwards compatible with existing Xenon strobe circuits - mix with legacy devices on the same NAC without issues
- Quick-swap cover skins: alert marking changes in the field without replacing the device or pulling wire
- DC blocking capacitor: built-in audio circuit supervision, no external components required
System requirements
Requires a GRSW room side wiring plate (GRSW-10, pack of 10, ordered separately). Compatible with Genesis LED sync sources for multi-appliance synchronization - exceeds UL requirements with strobe timing within 10 ms over a 2-hour period. Mounts to 2-gang or 4-inch square electrical boxes. Accepts 12 to 18 AWG in-out screw terminals.
