10700060

Overview

The WERMA USA Inc. model 10700060 is an internally driven magnetic audible alarm buzzer designed for continuous tone signaling. It operates on a voltage range of 115 to 230 VAC with a current draw of 12 mA and consumes 0.73 W of power. The device produces a sound pressure level of 80 dB at a distance of 10 cm, or 60 dB at 1 meter, at a frequency of 2.4 kHz. It features a 28 mm diameter housing made of glass fiber reinforced PA material, panel mount installation via screw terminals, and an IP65/NEMA 4X ingress protection rating suitable for indoor and outdoor use within a temperature range of -20°C to +50°C.

Feature Summary

• Generates a continuous acoustic signal using an internally driven magnetic mechanism
• Constructed from glass fiber reinforced polyamide for durability in industrial environments
• Provides high-intensity sound output measurable at both close proximity and standard distances
• Engineered with sealed housing to resist dust and water ingress for versatile deployment

Applications

• Industrial machinery status indication
• Factory floor safety alarms
• HVAC system fault notification
• Process control panel auditory alerts

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific voltage requirement matches your system's AC supply between 115 and 230 VAC before procurement. Confirm that the mounting hole diameter accommodates the 28 mm body size and that the enclosure rating meets environmental standards. Ensure terminal connections support the specified 12 mA load. Cross-reference the part number to distinguish this continuous tone unit from pulsed variants.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a persistent audible warning is required rather than intermittent beeping. It is appropriate for applications needing robust environmental sealing without visual indicators. Consider the 2.4 kHz frequency for optimal human audibility against background noise. Evaluate space constraints as the unit requires a 28 mm panel cutout and utilizes screw terminal wiring.

Part Context

This buzzer belongs to WERMA's line of audible annunciators, distinct from their optical stack lights. While other models may combine light and sound, this specific unit focuses solely on acoustic signaling. It complements visual indicators by providing redundant alerting methods in critical safety or operational monitoring systems.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 115-230 VAC input, 28 mm diameter, and IP65 rating. Verify that replacement units also provide continuous tone operation at similar decibel levels. Check terminal compatibility and mounting style to ensure physical interchangeability without modifying existing panel infrastructure.
