What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · April 26, 2026
This device connects directly to an existing home or building fire alarm system and wirelessly transmits a signal to compatible Medallion Series receivers — such as bed shakers, strobe lights, or vibrating pagers — when the alarm activates. It's designed for deaf or hard-of-hearing individuals who cannot reliably hear a standard audible fire alarm and need a non-auditory alert when evacuation is critical. The transmitter itself is a wired component, not a standalone solution — you'll need at least one Medallion Series receiver to complete the alerting system, and those are sold separately. Because this unit must be hardwired into a fire alarm's 12/24 VDC output, professional installation by a licensed electrician or fire alarm technician is strongly recommended for both safety and code compliance.

What Setup Looks Like
- Out of the box
Install two AA batteries and confirm the low-battery indicator light is not active. - With a guide
- Pair the transmitter with your existing Medallion Series receivers following Silent Call's pairing instructions.
- Test the full signal chain by triggering the alarm system manually to confirm receivers activate. See manufacturer support resources for detailed instructions.
- With professional help
- A licensed electrician or fire alarm technician must wire the transmitter to the 12/24 VDC voltage output of the building's fire alarm panel — incorrect wiring can damage the alarm system or create safety hazards.
- Expect a single service call of 1-2 hours for installation and testing.
