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.
