INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
TELEPHONE BELL
Use this product according to this instruction manual. Please keep this instruction manual for future reference.
MODEL NO: TB-591, TB-592
GENERAL:
The TB series Telbells are designed to provide a loud attention getting bell sound for use in noisy locations or for wide area coverage.
It includes an externally adjustable, tamper resistant volume control. Telbell utilizes the motor driven mechanism concept that
incorporates a high torque permanent magnet motor and a 6" aluminum shell to produce higher sound output and lower resonant
frequency than conventional mechanical bells. The TB series are designed for use with telephone communications systems whose
ringing voltages are from 18-30VAC/DC, or 38-60VDC.
Telbells are attractively packaged for convenient indoor or outdoor surface mounting. Wiring is easy because a modular telephone
jack is provided. Additionally, they provide screw terminals for hard wiring, and a knockout for 1/2" conduit.
READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THIS PRODUCT.
NOTE: All CAUTIONS and WARNINGS are identified by the symbol
. All warnings are printed in bold capital letters.
INSTALLATION INFORMATION:
The TB series Telbells are intended for surface mounting. To install the Telbell, follow instructions below:
1. Modular Connection - Figure 1 & 2:

b. Mount the base to the desired location, using mounting hardware suitable for the mounting surface material.
c. Mount bell shell to housing with center bolt. Be sure shell is properly aligned with housing.
NOTE: Pin hole in bell shell must be aligned with guide pin on bell housing.
d. Route the telephone cord through the bushing (provided) and plug the telephone cord into the unit modular phone jack,
then plug the bushing into the backbox per Figure 2.
e. Test by having someone ring your telephone to make sure the signal functions properly.
NOTE: The factory volume control setting is at maximum. Readjust volume as required. For tamper resistant volume setting,
remove volume control shaft by pulling straight out.
2. Hard Wire Connection - Figures 3 & 4:
a. Unscrew the center bolt to remove the bell shell.
b. Remove the bell housing by unscrewing all four screws. Disconnect the red and black wires by unplugging from the PC
Board.
c. Mount the backbox to the desired location, using mounting hardware suitable for the mounting surface material.
d. No conduit:
Route the 24VDC or 48VDC wires through the bushing (provided) and connect wires to terminal TB1 marked T and R
respectively. Then plug the bushing into the phone jack opening of the backbox, See Figure 4.
With conduit:
Open the knock-out in the top of backbox. Be careful not to damage PC Board components. The knock-out opening is
sized for 1/2" conduit and matching connector. Be sure that proper water tight conduit fitting is used to connect to the bell
backbox for outdoor application. Connect 24VDC or 48VDC wires to terminal TB1 marked T and R respectively.

h. Plug the bushing into the phone jack opening of the backbox.
i. Test by having someone ring your telephone to make sure the signal functions properly.
NOTE: -The factory volume control setting is at maximum. Adjust volume as required. For tamper resistant volume setting,
remove volume control shaft by pulling straight out.
- At low input voltages, and low volume settings, the volume control may have to be adjusted to obtain the desired sound
NOTE: The Telbell does not eliminate existing telephone ringers. Such ringers can be disconnected when Telbell is installed.
