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.

FAQs

What electrical boxes does the EG4AWF fit?
Mounts to 1-gang, 2-gang, 3.5-inch octagon, and 4-inch square electrical boxes. Boxes must be at least 1.5 inches deep. Optional EG4TW trim plate covers oversized openings.
Can I change the marking or color without replacing the device?
Yes. The EG4 Series uses quick-swap replacement covers. Swap to FIRE, ALERT, or unmarked in red or white without removing the device from the wall.
Does this horn work on coded NAC circuits?
Yes. Horn-only models support constant output that can be coded at intervals by Kidde control panels and control modules, or set to TC3 temporal pattern for standard fire alarm use.
Can I mix this horn with Genesis LED strobes on the same NAC circuit?
Genesis LED EG4 horns and strobes can be mixed on the same NAC circuit. Synchronization requires a compatible Kidde CC Series signal module, booster/auxiliary power supply, or Kidde control panel.
How much current does this horn draw?
At high output: 28 mA (DC) or 38 mA (FWR). At low output: 18 mA (DC) or 22 mA (FWR). Low current draw allows more devices per NAC circuit and longer wire runs.
