The Kidde Genesis G4 Speaker-Strobe puts high-output audio and strobe notification into the slimmest wall-mount profile available - just one inch off the wall. Selectable wattage taps (1/4, 1/2, 1, or 2W) and selectable candela let you dial in each zone without pulling the device off the backbox. White housing with red lens for visual differentiation in color-coded alert applications.

Built for the commercial installer

Mounts flush to any standard North American 4-inch square electrical box, 2-1/8" deep, with room behind for extra wire. No extension ring or trim plate required. Terminals accept #18 to #12 AWG for long runs or existing wiring on retrofits. UL 1638, UL 1971, ULC-S541, and UL 1480 listed. MEA and CSFM approved. ADA-compliant for hearing-impaired notification.

Key features

  • Field-configurable wattage and candela: adjustment switches stay visible after installation - no need to remove the device
  • Ultra-slim 1" profile is the most compact UL/ULC listed speaker-strobe available
  • FullLight strobe technology delivers even light distribution across the full coverage area
  • Sealed-back 4" mylar cone speaker with 400-4,000 Hz response optimized for voice intelligibility
  • Synchronization-ready with compatible Kidde modules (GSA-CC1S, EG1M-RM, and others)
  • Optional temporal strobe for private-mode signaling via on-board jumper configuration

System requirements

Requires a listed fire alarm control panel or audio amplifier on a 25 VRMS or 70 VRMS audio circuit (model dependent). Strobe operates on 16-33 Vdc regulated or full-wave rectified from a supervised signal circuit. Synchronization requires a compatible Kidde sync module on the NAC circuit.

FAQs

Does this speaker-strobe fit a standard 4-inch box?
Yes. Mounts flush to any North American 4-inch square electrical box, 2-1/8" deep. No extension ring or trim plate needed. The shallow 1" profile leaves room behind the device for extra wiring.
Can I change the wattage and candela without removing the device?
Yes. Both the wattage tap and candela output are set via slide switches on the bottom of the unit. The settings remain visible through a small window after installation.
What synchronization module does this speaker-strobe require?
Compatible modules include the GSA-CC1S, GSA-MCC1S, SIGA-CC2A, GSA-MCC2A, and EG1M-RM. A sync source is required on the NAC circuit to meet UL 1971 synchronization standards.
Is this speaker-strobe approved for sleeping room applications?
The standard G4 model is not rated for sleeping rooms. For sleeping room applications requiring NFPA 72 520 Hz low-frequency signaling, use the Genesis G4HF High Fidelity series instead.
What wire gauge does this device accept?
Screw terminals accept #18 to #12 AWG (0.75 to 2.5 mm²), suitable for long runs or existing wiring on retrofit jobs.
