When the National Weather Service issues a severe weather alert, they include precise coordinates outlining those areas directly affected. These warning coordinates are received by the NexWarn system, which then activates only those units within the specified warning area. This is the Wall-Mount Unit. It is designed to be powered primarily from your home's existing wiring for smoke detectors. A power supply is included and fits into a standard 4.0 electrical box.
Wiring is simple and takes only a few seconds.
In case of a power outage, a 9-Volt battery is included. The unit will function on the battery for up to a week. However, if the power has been out for more than 24 hours, we recommend changing the battery. This unit, since it is designed to be on a desk, does not include a smoke detector. It has rubber feet to prevent unwanted movement.
