Genesis WG4 Outdoor Horn-
Strobe Installation Sheet
Description
The Genesis WG4 Outdoor Horn-Strobe is a life safety notification
appliance designed for indoor or outdoor use on ceilings or on walls.
See Table 1 for a list of models and Table 2 for a list of accessories.
For surface mount applications, mount the WG4 onto a Model 449
electrical box using the gasket shipped with the appliance. For flush
mount applications where the mounting surface is flush with the
surface of the wall or ceiling, use the WG4GSKT gasket kit.
Note that you need a Model 449 electrical box for waterproof
applications, or a standard mount 4 in. square box for all other
applications.
The horn-strobe includes field-configurable jumper options that allow
you to set the strobe pattern to temporal or continuous, the horn
pattern to temporal or continuous, and the horn volume to low or high.
The horn-strobe also includes a field-configurable switch for setting the
strobe candela level. This setting is locked in place and is visible after
final installation.

To synchronize horn-strobe operation, you must install a separate
synchronization source. See Table 3. When connecting the horn-
strobe to a listed control panel, verify synchronization operation on the
compatibility list for the corresponding panel.

Installation
Install this device in accordance with applicable requirements and in
accordance with the local authorities having jurisdiction.
WARNING: Electrocution hazard. To avoid personal injury or death
from electrocution, remove all sources of power and allow stored
energy to discharge before installing or removing equipment.
Notes
•Electrical supervision requires that you break the wire run at each
terminal. Do not loop wires around the terminals.
•You can mount the WG4 horizontally or vertically on either the wall
or ceiling; place the electrical box accordingly. See Figure 1.
•When using a 449 electrical box, discard the gasket that is shipped
with the box.
•When using a trim skirt or a surface mount application, use the
gasket that comes with the WG4 unit.
— or —
For flush mount applications on a flat surface, use the WG4GSKT
gasket accessory.
To install the horn-strobe:
1. Remove the cover from the horn-strobe by first removing the six
cover screws. See Figure 2, item 1.

2 / 4 P/N 3102000-EN • REV 002 • ISS 16MAR18
2. Position the appropriate gasket over the backplate, ensuring that
the wire slot and other holes line up properly.
Remove the protective backing from the gasket surface and
carefully apply the gasket to the WG4, with the adhesive side
towards the appliance.
Press the gasket firmly against the back surface of the appliance
so that the gasket seats properly.
3. Place the optional trim skirt over the electrical box, if desired. See
Figure 2, items 4, 5, and 6. Also see “Specifications” on page 3 for
a list of compatible boxes.
4. Feed the field wiring through the wire slots on the gasket and the
backplate. See Figure 2, item 3 and Figure 3, item 1.
5. Align the appliance and trim skirt (if applicable), and then secure
the backplate to the electrical box with the supplied screws.
Check the assembly to ensure that it is securely mounted.
6. Set the candela output.
The default candela setting is D. To select a different candela
output, align the S2 indicator to the desired candela output. See
Figure 3, item 6. For candela output ratings, see Table 8, Table 9,
and Table 10.
7. Set the strobe pattern.
The default strobe pattern setting is continuous. To use the
temporal strobe (private mode, which is not ULC listed), cut jumper
JP4. See Figure 3, item 4.
8. Set the horn volume.
The default horn volume setting is high. To set the horn to low
volume, cut jumper JP3. See Figure 3, item 2.
9. Set the horn pattern.
The default horn pattern is temporal. To use a continuous horn
pattern, cut jumper JP1. See Figure 3, item 5.
10. Connect the signal circuit field wiring to the appropriate terminals,
noting that both the horn and the strobe are powered from the
same NAC.
You must observe polarity for the unit to function properly. See
“Wiring” on page 3.
11. Remove the strobe protective cover shown in Figure 3, item 3.
Note: Do not touch the glass of the strobe tube underneath, as this
may shorten the life of the glass tube.
12. Position the cover over the backplate, and then secure it with the
six cover screws.
13. Test the unit for proper operation.
