Mircom FS-400C Ceiling Mount Led Strobes
Description
Mircom’s FS-400C ceiling mount strobes offer a visual solution that deliver
exceptional energy efficiency in a compact design. Utilizing advanced LED
technology, the FS-400C strobes provide a lower current draw which allows for
more devices on a NAC circuit while reducing the number of external power
supplies required.
The FS-400C strobes can be field-configured for 15, 15/75, 30, 75, 110 cd. The
candela setting is displayed through the front window for easy identification.
The device settings are located on the back of the unit to prevent tampering.
The FS-400C strobes can be synchronized using a control panel with the Mircom
sync protocol or the SDM-240 synchronization module.
The FS-400C strobes utilize a universal mounting plate that allows for
mounting to a single gang, double gang, octagon, 4” junction or 4” square
electrical box. The back plate allows the installer to mount the plate and
connect the wire connections. The device attaches to the mounting plate and is
secured by a single mounting screw. In addition, the FS-400C can mount to the
Mircom BB-400 back box for surface mount applications.
