  • 30-day returns on unopened products

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.

FAQs

What Genesis appliances does the G4SE Strobe Expander fit behind?
Mounts behind any Genesis LED EG4 Series horn, strobe, or horn-strobe, and any Genesis LED EG4S Series speaker or speaker-strobe. The combined assembly houses up to three notification elements: two independent strobes plus one speaker or horn.
Is the G4SE compatible with legacy Genesis xenon strobes on the same circuit?
Yes. 100% compatible with legacy Genesis appliances on the same circuit. The G4SE uses a 20 ms pulse width, allowing it to synchronize with xenon Genesis strobes in the same line of sight.
How many G4SE devices can I put on one NAC circuit?
The ultra-low current draw (28 mA DC / 36 mA VFWR) maximizes device count per circuit. Check your panel or power supply's NAC output capacity and divide by the per-device current for your voltage configuration.
Does the G4SE require a special backbox or trim ring?
No. Mounts flush on a standard North-American 4-inch square electrical box, at least 1-1/2" deep. No extension ring or trim plate needed.
What synchronization sources work with the G4SE?
Kidde CC Series Signal Modules, Booster and Auxiliary Power Supplies, and Intelligent and Conventional Control Panels. Meets UL synchronization requirements - within 10 ms over a two-hour period.
