CH-V09-525-Q(M)

Overview

The CH-V09-525-Q(M) is a panel mount chime alarm manufactured by Floyd Bell Inc, belonging to the Audiolarm II series. It utilizes piezo technology and features an internally driven indicator circuit. The device operates on a DC voltage range of 5 to 25 volts with a power consumption current of 5 to 25 mA. It produces a sound pressure level of 70 dB at 5V measured at 61 cm and emits a frequency of 2.9 kHz. The unit is rated IP68 for dust tightness and waterproofing, suitable for operating temperatures between -20°C and 65°C. Physical dimensions include a 1.410-inch diameter and a maximum installation height of 1.480 inches, with wire leads terminating from the top.

Feature Summary

• Piezo-driven internal circuitry for direct DC operation
• IP68 rated enclosure providing dust tight and waterproof protection
• Panel mount design with top-mounted wire lead termination

Applications

• Industrial equipment status signaling
• Marine or outdoor control panels requiring water resistance
• HVAC system alarm indicators

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix Q(M) against official Floyd Bell documentation to confirm exact acoustic characteristics and terminal configuration, as variations within the Audiolarm II series may exist. Ensure the required mounting hole diameter aligns with the specified 1.410-inch dimension. Confirm that the 5-25V DC input matches the target system voltage before integration.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a robust, waterproof audible indicator is required for harsh environments. The IP68 rating distinguishes it from standard indoor chimes. Consider the 70 dB SPL output relative to ambient noise levels in the application area. The internally driven nature simplifies wiring compared to externally driven buzzers, reducing component count in the host design.
