installations provide greater dB because of reflected sound energy. Typical indoor sound output is significantly higher than
rated anechoic.

2. All bells will operate on "coded systems" up to 2 on-off cycles per second.

3. The Explosion Proof Bells are UL listed for the hazardous atmospheres listed below:

CLASS I, GROUP B: Atmospheres containing hydrogen, or gases and vapors of equivalent hazard such as manufactured gas.

CLASS I, GROUP C: Atmospheres containing ethyl and ether vapors.

CLASS I, GROUP D: Atmospheres containing gasoline, petroleum, naphtha, alcohols, acetone, benzene, lacquer solvent vapors

CLASS II, GROUP F: Atmospheres containing carbon black, coal, or coke dust.

and natural gas.

CLASS II, GROUP G: Atmospheres containing flour, starch and grain dusts.
