This battery-powered fire alarm transmitter is wired into a home or building's fire alarm system so that when the fire alarm system is activated, the transmitter will send a coded wireless signal to all Silent Call receivers.

You may use as many receivers as necessary with the one Fire Alarm Transmitter so long as they are not right next to each other. Transmittal has been tested at a range of up to 100 feet. Certain elements, such as metal objects, can interfere and shorten the range.

Fire Alarm Transmitter Installation
The transmitter should be installed by a licensed fire alarm company. The two wires extending from the transmitter must be attached to a dry contact (relay), such as an existing fire system or a built-in relay for hard-wired smoke detector(s).

It is recommended that the transmitter be installed within a 75 foot radius of the receiver. This distance can be more or less depending upon the environment, ie: metal; wire panels, fire doors etc. that could cause a reduction in the transmittal distance. Do not install the transmitter on or in a metal fire panel. Dipswitches on the back of the unit can be changed if there are multiple systems used in the same area. By changing the switches, the systems will not interfere with each other.

Fire Alarm Transmitter Maintenance
The transmitter and system should be tested at least once per month and the 2 AAA batteries in the fire alarm transmitter should be changed every six months. Five year warranty.
