The Kidde Genesis LED G4SE Strobe Expander fits behind any Genesis LED EG4 or EG4S series notification appliance, adding an independently controlled strobe in a single compact footprint. No additional electrical boxes, no extension rings, no extra wall space - just one clean assembly housing a speaker or horn plus two independent strobes for combined life safety and mass notification coverage.
Built for the commercial fire installer
The G4SEWA-G provides a green ALERT-marked strobe rated at 65 cd, built for mass notification and emergency communication (MNEC) applications. Operating on 16-33 VDC or VFWR with ultra-low current draw (28 mA DC / 36 mA VFWR), it maximizes the number of devices per NAC circuit. UL Listed (S5389) and 100% compatible with legacy Genesis appliances on the same circuit, so it drops into existing systems without sync issues.
Key features
- Two independent strobes plus speaker/horn in one footprint: reduces wall clutter and cuts box count on MNEC + life safety jobs
- Ultra-low current draw (28 mA DC): maximizes strobe count per NAC circuit, reducing the need for additional power supplies
- Mounts on standard 4-inch square boxes: no extension rings or trim plates required
- Field-visible settings: output and lens color remain visible after installation through a bottom window
- UL synchronization compliant: within 10 ms over a two-hour period, with 20 ms pulse width for mixed-loop compatibility with legacy xenon Genesis strobes
- Compatible with Kidde CC Series signal modules, booster/auxiliary power supplies, and intelligent/conventional control panels
System requirements
Requires a Genesis LED EG4 Series horn, strobe, or horn-strobe, or a Genesis LED EG4S Series speaker or speaker-strobe to mount in front of. Wall-mount only on a flush North-American 4-inch square electrical box at least 1-1/2" deep. Recommended mounting height: 83" AFF for correct strobe coverage.
