CH-V09-525-Q(F)

Overview

The CH-V09-525-Q(F) is a panel mount chime alarm from the AudioLarm II series by Floyd Bell Inc. It utilizes piezo technology for internally driven operation with DC input. The device operates within a voltage range of 5 to 25 volts and draws 5 to 25 mA. It produces a sound pressure level of 70 dB at 5V measured at 61 cm, with a frequency of 2.9 kHz. The unit features IP68 ingress protection, ensuring it is dust tight and waterproof. Operating temperature ranges from -20°C to 65°C. Dimensions are 1.410 inches in diameter and 1.480 inches maximum height, with wire leads for termination.

Feature Summary

• Piezo-driven internal circuitry for direct DC connection
• IP68 rated enclosure providing dust tight and waterproof sealing
• Panel mount design with top port location and wire lead termination

Applications

• Industrial equipment status indication
• Marine or outdoor control panels requiring water resistance
• Appliance chime signaling

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix Q against official Floyd Bell documentation to confirm distinct electrical or mechanical characteristics compared to standard variants. Ensure the required operating voltage aligns with the 5-25V DC specification. Confirm that the IP68 rating meets environmental exposure requirements for the intended installation site.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a rugged, waterproof audible indicator is required for panel mounting. The wide voltage range allows flexibility in system power supplies. Verify that the 70 dB SPL is sufficient for the ambient noise environment. Check that the physical dimensions fit the available panel space and that wire lead termination is compatible with the wiring harness.

Part Context

This part belongs to the AudioLarm II series of piezo chimes. It shares the general form factor and IP68 sealing with other models in the line but differs in specific electrical parameters such as frequency and drive voltage. It serves as a reliable visual and auditory alert component in harsh environments where standard indicators might fail due to moisture or dust ingress.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with CH-V09-525-W(F) for potential interchangeability if electrical specifications match exactly. Verify pinout and mounting hole patterns before substitution. Consult manufacturer datasheets for any updates on the AudioLarm II series to ensure compatibility with existing designs.
