Genesis WG4 Outdoor Horn
Installation Sheet
Description
The Genesis WG4 Outdoor Horn is a life safety notification appliance
designed for indoor or outdoor use on ceilings or 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 includes field-configurable jumper options that allow you to
set the horn pattern to temporal or continuous, and the horn volume to
low or high.

•Mount the WG4 horizontally or vertically on either the wall or
ceiling; place the electrical box accordingly. See Figure 1.

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:
1. Remove the cover from the appliance by first removing the six
cover screws. See Figure 2, item 1.
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 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.
