The Kidde Genesis EG4SWF wall-mount speaker delivers clear, intelligible fire alarm audio from a low-profile housing that protrudes just one inch from the wall. Field-selectable wattage taps (1/4, 1/2, 1, or 2 watt) let you fine-tune sound output for each zone without removing the device - slide the switch, confirm the setting through the visible window, and move to the next head.
Built for the commercial installer
The Genesis platform mounts flush to standard North-American 4-inch square electrical boxes (2-1/8" minimum depth). The included GP10 room side wiring plate supports pre-installation and pre-wiring before the speaker arrives on site. Snap the speaker onto the plate, confirm continuity with the built-in diagnostics check bar, and the job is done - no visible mounting screws, no extension rings required. UL and ULC listed (File No. S2813). MEA and CSFM approved.
