What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · April 26, 2026
This device wires directly into a home or building fire alarm panel and wirelessly transmits a signal to compatible Medallion Series receivers throughout the space whenever the fire alarm activates — so people who cannot hear an audible alarm get an alert through flashing lights, bed shakers, or other visual/tactile output. It's designed for deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals who need a reliable, whole-home fire safety alerting solution tied to their existing hardwired fire alarm system. This is not a standalone solution — it's one piece of a larger Silent Call Medallion system that requires at least one compatible Medallion Series receiver to actually deliver the alert to the user. Wiring it into a fire alarm panel should be done by a licensed electrician or fire alarm technician, which adds installation cost and time beyond the purchase price.

What Setup Looks Like
- With a guide
- Confirm your fire alarm system does not use polarity-reversal supervision, as this transmitter is incompatible with that configuration.
- Have a licensed electrician or fire alarm technician wire the FA4-MC into your 12–24V fire alarm panel output.
- Pair the transmitter with one or more Medallion Series receivers following the receiver pairing instructions — allow 1–2 hours for professional installation plus receiver setup.
- See manufacturer support resources for detailed instructions.
- With professional help
- A licensed electrician or certified fire alarm technician must handle panel wiring — incorrect wiring can disable the fire alarm system or create safety hazards.
- An audiologist or hearing technology specialist (or Silent Call dealer) can advise on which Medallion receivers best meet the user's alerting needs.
