Mircom FHS-400 Wall Mount LED Horn or Strobes
WALL MOUNT LED HORN/STROBES
FHS-400
Description
- Mircom’s FHS-400 wall mount horn/strobes offer an audible/visual solution that delivers exceptional energy efficiency in a compact design. Utilizing advanced
- LED technology, the FHS-400 LED horn/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 FHS-400 horn/strobes offer a wide range of audible/visual settings in a single compact device. The audible settings include Temporal, Continuous, March
- Time and 20 BPM tones that can each be set for Low or High volume settings. The candela settings can be field-configured for 15, 15/75, 30, 75, 110, 185 cd.
- The candela setting is displayed through the front window for easy identification All device settings are located on the back of the unit to prevent tampering.
- The FHS-400 horn/strobes can be synchronized using a control panel with the Mircom sync protocol or the SDM-240 synchronization module.
- The FHS-400 horn/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 FHS-400 can mount to the Mircom BB-400 Series back box for surface mount applications.
