Description
The 243 Hearing Impaired Kit features a
406C 120V AC Smoke Alarm, 499C FireX
Relay Module, 240 strobe light (177
candela), and a wiring instruction sheet.
The 406C Smoke Alarm has an 85 decibel
horn, test switch and a lighted
power/alarm LED indicator; the LED flashes
once per minute to confirm AC power.
When in alarm, the LED (406C Smoke
Alarm) flashes rapidly once per second. The
240 strobe light utilizes a Xenon flash tube
which generates a high-intensity light,
visible from all sides of the lens. The 240
Remote Strobe is intended to provide a
visible notification signal for the purpose of
life safety and property protection.
The 406C Smoke Alarm mounts to any
single or 4" octagon junction box or square-to-round drywall ring and has 8" long pigtails with a Quick
Connect harness for easy connection.
The 243 Hearing Impaired Kit is ideal for hotels, apartments, hospitals, rest homes or whenever visible
alarms are required.

240
This smoke alarm should be installed in accordance with the NFPA's Standard 72 (National Fire Protection
UL
Association, Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269) and any local codes that apply.
Use #18 AWG minimum solid or stranded wire. When interconnecting, maximum wire length between any two is
1,500 feet for #18 AWG or 4,000 feet for #14 AWG (20 OHMS loop resistance).
DO NOT connect to any other type or model of heat or smoke alarm. Connect smoke to a single AC branch circuit.
If local codes do not permit, be sure the neutral wire is common to both phases.
