CH-V09-525-W(S)

Overview

The CH-V09-525-W(S) is a panel mount chime alarm manufactured by Floyd Bell Inc. It belongs to the Audiolarm II series and utilizes piezo technology for sound generation. The device features an internally driven indicator circuit and accepts DC input within a voltage range of 5 to 25 volts. It operates at a frequency of 2.9 kHz with a sound pressure level of 70 dB measured at 5V and 61 cm. Power consumption ranges from 5 to 25 mA. The unit is designed for top port mounting and offers IP68 protection against dust and water ingress, functioning reliably in temperatures between -20°C and 65°C.

Feature Summary

• Piezo-based internal drive mechanism for chime alarm applications
• IP68 rated enclosure providing dust tight and waterproof protection
• Wide operating voltage range supporting 5 to 25 VDC inputs

Applications

• Panel mounted industrial equipment signaling
• Marine or outdoor control panels requiring waterproof alarms
• HVAC system status indicators

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix designation (S versus F) during procurement, as it may indicate variations in lead wire configuration or termination style not explicitly detailed in general summaries. Confirm that the required sound pressure level and frequency meet the specific acoustic requirements of the installation environment. Ensure the panel cutout dimensions accommodate the specified diameter and height constraints for proper mechanical fit.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a robust, waterproof audible indicator is required for direct panel integration. The wide voltage tolerance allows compatibility with various DC power systems without additional regulation. Consider the 70 dB output level relative to ambient noise levels to ensure adequate audibility. Verify that the top-mounted port orientation aligns with the available space and airflow requirements on the target enclosure.

Part Context

This model is part of the Audiolarm II series from Floyd Bell Inc, which specializes in piezoelectric signaling devices. The series is characterized by high reliability and environmental sealing suitable for harsh conditions. The CH-V09-525 variant specifically denotes the 2.9 kHz frequency and standard wiring configuration within this product line.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other IP68 rated piezo chimes from manufacturers such as Honeywell or Mouser components if availability is constrained. Ensure replacement units match the 35.81 mm diameter and 37.59 mm height for direct panel substitution.
