AutoPulse Alarm Bell – 6 or 10 Inch

Features 6 INCH BELL

• High sound output with low current draw 6 IN.
(152 mm)
• Low frequency aluminum shells for better audibility through
walls, doors, and other structures
• Integral RFI suppression to minimize induced noise on the
alarm circuit 3 3/8 IN.
(86 mm)
• Mounting options for surface, semi-flush, outdoor, and con-
cealed conduit installation
• Built-in trimplate makes semi-flush mounting simpler and
less expensive 3 3/8 IN.
(86 mm)
• Screw terminals permit fast in-out field wiring of
22-12 AWG wire
• Polarized for DC supervision of alarm circuit 2 3/4 IN.
(70 mm)
• Operate on filtered or unfiltered DC

Description
Ansul alarm bells may be used to alert the occupant before 10 INCH BELL
10 IN.
and/or during actuation of the Ansul automatic fire suppres- (254 mm)
sion system and/or a general fire alert.
The Ansul motor driven alarm bell is designed to meet the
special requirements of fire alarm/release systems where
low power consumption and high sound output is essential.
Due to its low current drain, high level output sound can be
achieved with multiple units on a single 2-wire output circuit.
The bells are constructed of high quality materials to ensure
reliability and long life. The basic mechanism, gong and
accessories have a baked, red enamel finish. Holes are 3 3/8 IN.
located to mount to a standard 4 in. (102 mm) square outlet (86 mm)
box. A weatherproof back box is available for outdoor use.
