The Genesis LED G4VWA-B is a wall-mount mass notification strobe built on Kidde's low-current Genesis LED platform. The blue ALERT lens provides clear visual distinction from standard fire alarm strobes, keeping mass notification zones properly identified without additional signage or separate wiring infrastructure.
Built for the commercial installer
The G4 mounts on standard 2-gang and 4-inch square electrical boxes using the GRSW room side wiring plate. Pre-wire the plate, verify continuity with the built-in diagnostics check bar, then snap the device in place. The ultra-slim profile protrudes just 1.5 inches from the mounting surface, and 12-18 AWG in-out screw terminals handle standard commercial wire runs. UL listed (S218, S5389), CSFM listed, FCC and FM approved.
Key features
- Blue ALERT lens: distinct mass notification zone identification, separate from fire alarm red
- 28 mA current draw: more devices per NAC circuit, fewer booster power supplies on the job
- Genesis LED synchronization: exceeds UL sync requirements (within 10 ms over two hours) on compatible NAC circuits
- Backwards compatible: mix with legacy Xenon Genesis strobes on the same circuit and in the same field of view
- Room side wiring plate: pre-install and pre-wire before the device arrives, with built-in diagnostics check bar
- Field-configurable: candela output adjustable via slide switch under the cover, visible through side window
System requirements
Requires a regulated 16-33 VDC or 16-33 VFWR NAC circuit from a compatible fire alarm control panel or NAC power supply. GRSW room side wiring plate required (ordered separately). Optional trim plates (EG4TR red, EG4TW white) and surface mount boxes (EG4RSB red, EG4WSB white) available.
