Alarm Bell Range


B6-24
The B6-24 is a traditional range of fire alarm bells,
rugged in construction and producing a clear ringing
sound, for many years associated with fire detection
and alarm systems. The units are reliable, well proven
and have been used extensively as general purpose
alarm sounders.
Stylish in appearance, the range features 150 mm di-
ameter (6 inch) and a 200mm diameter (8 inch) sizes
for indoor applications, together with a 150mm (6 inch)
electronic, weather proof version, all with red, stove
enameled gongs, making them suitable for either new
installations of traditional design, additions to exist-
ing systems, or in buildings where electronic sounder
devices are used to signal other emergencies.
The bells can be easily installed in any type of location,
fixed to a standard conduit box or mounted directly
onto a wall or partition. Models designed for indoor
installation feature a multifixing back plate with 2.5
mm2 terminals for both positive and negative, in and
out connections. The weatherproof version is installed
Features
using a weatherproof gasket box. Traditional sound output
Operation is based on a high efficient, motorised, striker Low current consumption
movement, developing in excess of 93 dBA at 1 metre.
Motorised striker movement
Current consumption is only 25 mA, for the 150mm (6
inc) models and 28mm for the 200mm (8 inch) version. IP 65 electronic weather proof version
Sound output frequency complies with the recom- Multifixing back plate
mendations of BS 5839 Pt1. The units provide a dis-
tinctive tone and excellent attenuation through most
building structures, enabling sound levels of 65 dBA
to be achieved uniformly throughout the protected
premises, using the minimum number of sounders.
Rated at IP 41, (IP65 for the weatherproof version), the
bells are suitable for installation in most commercial
and industrial applications.
