The Genesis LED G4SE Strobe Expander adds both Mass Notification/Emergency Communication (MNEC) and life safety strobe capability behind a single Genesis LED appliance - no extra wall space, no extra boxes. It fits directly behind any Genesis LED EG4S Series speaker or speaker-strobe, or Genesis LED EG4 Series horn, strobe, or horn-strobe, packing two independent strobes and a loudspeaker or horn into one compact footprint.

Built for the commercial installer

This model (G4SEWA-B) features a white housing with ALERT marking and a blue lens rated at 30 cd. UL Listed (S5389) and FCC certified. Ultra-low current draw (28 mA at 16-33 VDC) lets you maximize the number of devices on a single NAC circuit without adding booster power supplies. The G4SE meets UL synchronization requirements within 10 milliseconds and uses a 20ms pulse width, so it runs on the same loop and in the same line of sight as legacy xenon Genesis strobes without compatibility issues.

Key features

  • Two independent strobes plus speaker/horn in one footprint: reduces box count and wall clutter on dual-purpose fire alarm and mass notification jobs
  • Ultra-low current draw (28 mA DC): fit more devices per NAC circuit without adding booster power supplies
  • 100% backward compatible with legacy Genesis appliances on the same circuit
  • Field-visible settings: output and lens color configurations remain visible through the bottom window after installation
  • No extension ring or trim plate needed: fits standard North-American 4" square electrical boxes flush
  • UL synchronization compliant with Kidde CC Series Signal Modules, Booster and Auxiliary Power Supplies, and Intelligent and Conventional Control Panels

System requirements

Mounts flush on a North-American 4" square box at least 1 " deep. Indoor wall-mount applications only. Install the electrical box at 83" AFF to position the strobe at the correct height per ADA and NFPA requirements. Compatible with 12 to 18 AWG wiring.

FAQs

What Genesis appliances does the G4SE Strobe Expander fit behind?
Fits behind any Genesis LED EG4S Series speaker or speaker-strobe, or Genesis LED EG4 Series horn, strobe, or horn-strobe. Mounts on the same standard 4-inch square box as the host appliance.
Does the G4SE require a separate electrical box?
No. The G4SE mounts behind the host Genesis LED appliance on the same standard 4-inch square box. No additional box, extension ring, or trim plate needed.
Can I mix G4SE Strobe Expanders with legacy xenon Genesis strobes on the same circuit?
Yes. The G4SE uses a 20ms pulse width, allowing it to run on the same loop and in the same line of sight as xenon Genesis strobes. 100% backward compatible with legacy Genesis appliances on the same NAC circuit.
What is the current draw of the G4SE Strobe Expander?
28 mA at 16-33 VDC, or 36 mA at 16-33 VFWR. Ultra-low current lets you fit more devices per NAC circuit without additional booster power supplies.
What lens colors are available for the G4SE?
Four options: Amber (75 cd), Green (65 cd), Blue (30 cd), and Red (15 cd). Each is available in white or red housing, with or without ALERT marking.
