The Kidde Genesis G4 Speaker-Strobe delivers clear audio and bright amber visual notification from a wall-mount form factor that protrudes just one inch from the wall. Purpose-built for mass notification applications, it fits flush on standard 4-inch square electrical boxes with no visible mounting screws and no extension ring required.
Built for the commercial installer
Field-configurable wattage (1/4, 1/2, 1, or 2 watt) and selectable candela output (13, 26, 65, or 95 cd) mean you set the device to the job without pulling it off the wall. The sealed-back 4-inch mylar cone produces clear, intelligible audio across 25 VRMS or 70 VRMS speaker circuits, while the amber polycarbonate strobe lens meets UL 1638 requirements for mass notification signaling. UL/ULC listed, MEA approved.
Key features
- Ultra low-profile design: just 1" depth to wall with no visible mounting screws for a clean, unobtrusive installation
- Field-configurable without removal: selectable wattage and candela switches remain accessible after install through bottom-of-device windows
- Amber lens for mass notification: differentiates mass notification alerts from fire alarm signals per UL 1638
- Selectable candela output: 13, 26, 65, or 95 cd to match notification zone requirements
- Standard 4" box mounting: fits North-American 4" square electrical boxes, 2-1/8" deep with no adapter or trim plate needed
- Wiring flexibility: screw terminals accept #18 to #12 AWG, separate polarized inputs for speaker and strobe circuits
System compatibility
Connects to a supervised amplifier signal circuit (25 VRMS or 70 VRMS) and a notification appliance circuit (16-33 Vdc regulated or full wave rectified). Compatible synchronization sources include GSA-CC1S, GSA-MCC1S, SIGA-CC2A, GSA-MCC2A, EG1M-RM, MIRBPS6A, MIRBPS10A, APS6A, APS10A, VS Series, and Fireshield Plus 5 and 10 zone panels. Optional surface mount with EG4B box (white) for applications without a flush back box.
