u Wide voltage range, 16 to 33 VDC or FWR
u 75 cd strobe meets ADA 4.28.3 requirements
The Gentex WGE family of weatherproof strobes and
horn strobes offer dependable visible and audible
alarms. The horns have a synchronizable (using the
AVSM Synchronization Module) chime and whoop
tones. You can select high or low volume and choose a
2400 Hz (remote signaling) tone or a low frequency
(1500 Hz to 3000 Hz) mechanical sounding tone where
doors could prevent hearing the other tone. They are
easily field‑changeable from temporal Code 3 to a
continuous tone. They are shipped from the factory on
the temporal lower frequency mode, and come
standard with a rugged die‑cast metal mounting plate.
The strobes have a low operating current and a
minimum flash rate of 1 Hz regardless of the input
voltage.
These devices are equipped with the SuperSlide
feature to test supervision and the Instant Voltage
Verification feature for measuring voltage drop draw.
The GOE Outdoor Enclosure is included with each
unit. The unit and GOE enclosure must be used
together to meet the UL outdoor listing.

Installation/configuration notes
Compatible Products
The following products are compatible with these
strobes and horn strobes:
Control Panels:
Active1: FPA-1000 family and FPD-7024 family
2 | WGE Weatherproof Strobes and Horn Strobes
Legacy1: D10024A, D9412, D8024, D70242, and D7022
3
Synchronization Modules:
AVSM‑R and AVSM‑W
1
For synchronization, use the AVSM‑R or AVSM‑W Synchronization
Modules with these control panels.
2
When used with a D7039 Multiplex Expansion Module, the D7024
becomes an addressable fire alarm control panel (FACP).
3
The D7022 must be set for 24 VDC operation and requires the AVSM‑R
or AVSM‑W Synchronization Modules for synchronization.
Mounting Considerations
For an outdoor application or a severe environment
(NEMA 3R) application, the WGES Strobes and WGEC
Horn Strobes must be surface mounted on a flat wall
in a GOE Outdoor Enclosure. The enclosure is
supplied. Knockout holes are sized for 3/4‑inch
conduit and matching connector. Use a watertight
conduit fitting.
Wiring
Notice
Do not use these units in coded or pulsed
signaling circuits.
Mechanical
Candela Rating 75 cd
Dimensions (HxWxD):
• without GOE
enclosure
5 in. x 4.5 in. x 2.5 in. (12.7 cm x

• with GOE enclosure 5.75 in. x 4.75 in. x 4.2 in. (14.6 cm x
12.1 cm x 10.6 cm)
Alarm Ratings
Notice
The sound output for the temporal (Code 3) tone
is rated lower because the time the horn is off is
averaged into the sound output rating. When the
horn is producing a tone in the temporal mode its
sound pressure is the same as the continuous
mode.
Horn (Continuous, 2400 Hz)
Audible Device Current
28 mA RMS; 48 mA FWR
(maximum)
Sound output at 10 ft (3 m) at
24 VDC
High output: 86 dBA; Low output:

The input terminals accept wires with diameters
between 18 AWG and 12 AWG (ISO 0.75 mm2 and
4 mm2).

UL reverberant sound level required for public mode fire protection
service. These settings are acceptable only for private mode fire alarm
use. Use the high output setting for public mode application.
