AN100Q4

Alarms, Buzzers, And Sirens Overview

The AN100Q4 is a piezoelectric audible alarm manufactured by Floyd Bell Inc. It operates on a DC input voltage range of 9 to 15V and draws a supply current between 0 and 250mA. The device produces a sound pressure level of 90dB at 15V measured at a distance of 61cm. It is designed for panel mounting with the port located on the top. The operating temperature range spans from -20°C to 65°C. This specific model functions as a voice message announcer, distinct from standard tone-based alarms.

Alarms, Buzzers, And Sirens Feature Summary

• Produces pre-recorded voice messages rather than simple tones
• Utilizes piezoelectric technology for durable audible signaling
• Designed for direct panel mounting applications
• Operates within a wide DC voltage range

Alarms, Buzzers, And Sirens Applications

• Vehicle motion warnings
• Safety and awareness alerts for machinery
• Promotional message playback during trade shows or in-store displays

Alarms, Buzzers, And Sirens Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix Q4 corresponds to the "Vehicle in Motion" message content when ordering. Confirm that the required voltage supply aligns with the 9-15V DC specification. Ensure the mounting hole dimensions match the panel design requirements for the 35.81mm diameter unit. Check environmental ratings if operation exceeds the -20°C to 65°C range.

Alarms, Buzzers, And Sirens Selection Notes

Select this component only if a specific verbal warning is required instead of an auditory beep. The AN100Q4 is part of the AN100 series where different suffixes denote unique recorded messages. Consider the 90dB output level relative to ambient noise levels in the target environment. Verify that the physical size fits the available enclosure space.

Alarms, Buzzers, And Sirens Part Context

The AN100Q4 belongs to the AN100 Announcer series by Floyd Bell Inc. This series specializes in custom piezoelectric audible alarms capable of playing short digital voice clips. Other models in the series include AN100Q1 (Warning), AN100Q2 (Caution), and AN100Q3 (Equipment Malfunction). The manufacturer focuses on ISO 9001:2000 certified production of these smart speakers and lighted alarms.

Alarms, Buzzers, And Sirens Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must be verified against the specific "Vehicle in Motion" message requirement. Generic piezoelectric buzzers cannot replace this unit as they lack the voice message capability. Cross-reference the mounting diameter and electrical specifications with other AN100 series variants if the exact message differs.
