What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · April 26, 2026
This device wires into an existing home or building fire alarm system and wirelessly transmits a signal to Silent Call's Medallion Series receivers — which can trigger strobe lights, bed shakers, or other visual and tactile alerts — when the fire alarm activates. It's designed for people who are deaf or hard of hearing and would not reliably hear an audible fire alarm on its own. This is one piece of a larger alerting system: you'll need at least one compatible Medallion Series receiver (sold separately) to actually experience the alert. Professional installation by a licensed electrician or fire alarm technician is strongly recommended, as it connects directly to the 12/24 VDC voltage output of your building's fire alarm panel.

What Setup Looks Like
- Out of the box
Install two AA batteries (included) to power the transmitter. - With a guide
- Pair the transmitter with your Medallion Series receiver(s) using the pairing instructions in the user manual.
- Test the full alert chain (transmitter → receiver → strobe/shaker) to confirm the system works as expected — allow 30–60 minutes for pairing and testing.
- With professional help
- Hire a licensed electrician or fire alarm technician to wire the transmitter to your building's fire alarm panel voltage output (12/24 VDC).
- The electrician should verify correct wiring polarity and confirm the transmitter triggers reliably before signing off — typically 1–2 hours of installation time.
- See manufacturer support resources for detailed instructions.
