Listed under Standard CAN/ULC-S525-99 for Audible Signaling Appliances. The Bell's design features low power
consumption with a high sound output, and includes suppression to minimize the RFI generated by the contacts. The Bells are
available in either an AC model, for indoor or outdoor use in vibrating modes. Models are available with a 6" or 10" gong as
shown below. The various mounting options available for the Bell Series makes for a convenient and economical installation.
NOTE: All CAUTIONS and WARNINGS are identified by the symbol
. All warnings are printed in bold capital letters.
WARNING: PLEASE READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY. FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH ANY OF
THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS, CAUTIONS AND WARNINGS COULD RESULT IN IMPROPER
APPLICATION, INSTALLATION AND/OR OPERATION OF THESE PRODUCTS IN AN EMERGENCY
SITUATION, WHICH COULD RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE, SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO YOU
AND/OR OTHERS.
WARNING: THE 43T HORN APPLIANCE IS A “FIRE ALARM DEVICE – DO NOT PAINT.”

WARNING: FOR UL/ULC APPLICATIONS THESE APPLIANCES WERE TESTED TO THE OPERATING
VOLTAGE LIMITS OF 16-33 VOLTS FOR 24V MODELS OR 96-132V FOR 115V MODELS. DO NOT APPLY 80%
AND 110% OF THESE VOLTAGE VALUES FOR SYSTEM OPERATION.
WARNING: MAKE SURE THAT THE TOTAL RMS CURRENT REQUIRED BY ALL APPLIANCES THAT ARE
CONNECTED TO THE SYSTEM’S PRIMARY AND SECONDARY POWER SOURCES DO NOT EXCEED THE
POWER SOURCES’ RATED CAPACITY OR THE CURRENT RATINGS OF ANY FUSES ON THE CIRCUITS TO
WHICH THESE APPLIANCES ARE WIRED. OVERLOADING POWER SOURCES OR EXCEEDING FUSE
RATINGS COULD RESULT IN LOSS OF POWER AND FAILURE TO ALERT OCCUPANTS DURING AN
EMERGENCY, WHICH COULD RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE AND SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO YOU
AND/OR OTHERS.
When calculating the total currents: Use Table 1 to determine the highest value of “RMS Current” for an individual bell (across
the expected operating voltage range of the bell), then multiply these values by the total number of bells; be sure to add the
currents for any other appliances, powered by the same source and include any required safety factors.

MOUNTING PROCEDURES:
1. For weather resistant installation, use outdoor mounting option. Outdoor backbox must be mounted vertically with "TOP"
as marked to allow any moisture or condensation to drain properly through drain holes on bottom of backbox.
2. Each bell mechanism is adjusted to operate only with the shell provided. Do not mix shells and mechanisms during
installation. Do not readjust bell mechanisms during installation.
3. Each input terminal accepts one lead for in-out wiring of 12-22 AWG wire. Strip wire leads approximately 1/2" for
connection to terminals. Break wire run to provide electrical supervision.
4 All bells will operate on "coded systems" up to 2 on-off cycles per second.
5. The polarity shown in the wiring diagram is for proper operation of the appliances in alarm mode. For supervision mode,
the polarity should be reversed.
6. Anechoic dB ratings are for "free field" (anechoic) conditions. Typical indoor sound output is usually higher than rated
anechoic dB.
7. Backboxes for all bells should be securely mounted. Looseness may degrade sound output. Conduit entrance to backboxes
should be selected to insure sufficient wiring clearance.
