The Kidde Genesis LED G4VWN-R is a wall-mount mass notification strobe designed for commercial emergency communication systems. The red lens delivers 15 cd of visible output at just 28 mA on DC circuits, keeping NAC budgets tight while providing clear visual notification during emergency events.
Built for the commercial installer
Genesis LED technology draws a fraction of the current of legacy Xenon strobes - that translates to longer wire runs, more devices per circuit, and fewer booster power supplies on the job. LED and Xenon strobes can be mixed on the same circuit and in the same field of view, so retrofits don't require a full rip-and-replace. The Genesis LED control protocol keeps all strobes synchronized to well within NFPA 72 requirements when used with a compatible synchronization source.
Key features
- Ultra-low current draw (28 mA DC): supports more devices per NAC circuit with fewer booster power supplies
- Backwards compatible with Xenon strobes: mix LED and legacy devices on the same circuit and in the same field of view
- Universal mounting: fits standard 2-gang and 4-inch square electrical boxes with optional G4T trim plates for oversized openings
- Room-side wiring plate (GRSW): pre-install and pre-wire, then snap the device into place with a built-in diagnostics check bar for continuity verification
- Low-profile design: protrudes only 1.62" from the mounting surface with no visible mounting screws
- Field-swappable cover skins: change marking or color in the field without replacing the device
System requirements
Requires a GRSW room-side wiring plate (ordered separately as GRSW-10, pack of 10). Synchronization requires a compatible source: Kidde CC Series Signal Modules, Booster and Auxiliary Power Supplies, or Intelligent and Conventional Control Panels. Electrical boxes must be at least 1-1/2" deep. Recommended mounting height: 81" AFF (bottom of lens minimum 80" off finished floor).
