The Kidde Genesis LED EG4AWF is a wall-mount fire alarm horn built for commercial life safety installations. White housing with FIRE marking makes it code-ready for most jurisdictions out of the box, and the included GP10 room side wiring plate lets you pre-wire and verify continuity before the device snaps into place - no return trips to confirm connections.
Built for the commercial installer
The EG4 Series horn mounts to standard 1-gang, 2-gang, 3.5-inch octagon, and 4-inch square electrical boxes with no special hardware. Field-selectable output gives you high (85 dBA reverberant / 92 dBA anechoic) or low (80 dBA / 86 dBA) sound levels, plus constant or TC3 temporal patterns - all configurable via slide switches under the cover without removing the device from the wall. UL 464 and ULC S525 listed.
Key features
- Pre-wire and verify before mounting: GP10 room side wiring plate with diagnostics check bar confirms circuit continuity before the appliance snaps on
- Field-selectable sound output: high or low dB, constant or TC3 temporal, configured via slide switches under the cover
- Ultra-slim profile: protrudes only 1.62" from the mounting surface with no visible screws
- Quick-swap covers: change markings (FIRE, ALERT, or none) and colors (red or white) without replacing the device
- Broad box compatibility: fits 1-gang, 2-gang, 3.5-inch octagon, and 4-inch square boxes (min 1.5" deep)
- Low current draw: 18-28 mA (DC) depending on output setting, reducing load on NAC circuits
System requirements
Requires 16 to 33 VDC or 16 to 33 VFWR from a compatible notification appliance circuit. Synchronization with other Genesis devices requires a Kidde CC Series signal module, booster/auxiliary power supply, or compatible Kidde control panel. Accepts 12 to 18 AWG wiring.
