SELECT-A-HORN SERIES

FH-240

Description
Mircom’s FH-240 Select-A-Horn Series is designed
to comply with NFPA/ANSI audible emergency
evacuations signal and UL 464 audible signaling
appliances. The Horn provides two different field
selectable tones, and a High/Low output setting that
can be achieved with the use of mini jumpers located
on back of the unit.
These appliances are polarized for connecting to
supervised fire alarm circuits. The FH-240 can be
synchronized by using the SDM-240 Sync Module
to comply with NFPA recommendations concerning
photosensitive epilepsy when installing 2 or more visual
appliances within the field of view. The strobe signals are
listed for indoor use, wall mount, under UL 1971 standard.
