MW-09-948-Q(M)

Alarms, Buzzers, And Sirens Overview

The MW-09-948-Q(M) is a piezoelectric panel mount alarm from the Turbo series by Floyd Bell Inc. It operates on a DC input voltage range of 9 to 48 V with a current draw of 5 to 20 mA. The device produces a warble tone at a moderate frequency and delivers an acoustic output between 85 and 95 dB(A). It features quick connect blades for installation and has a seated height of approximately 35.05 mm.

Alarms, Buzzers, And Sirens Feature Summary

• Internally driven piezoelectric mechanism generating a warble tone
• Moderate warble frequency modulation for distinct alerting
• Panel mount design with quick connect blade terminals
• Wide DC operating voltage compatibility

Alarms, Buzzers, And Sirens Applications

• Industrial control panels requiring visual and audible status indication
• Equipment safety alarms in manufacturing environments
• HVAC system fault detection units
• Medical device emergency signaling systems

Alarms, Buzzers, And Sirens Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific order suffix (M) corresponds to the moderate warble tone variant, as other suffixes indicate different frequencies or tones. Confirm the requirement for quick connect blade terminals matches the available wiring infrastructure. Ensure the mounting hole dimensions accommodate the 35.05 mm seated height and the specific panel thickness constraints of the application.

Alarms, Buzzers, And Sirens Selection Notes

Select this model when a moderate warble tone is required rather than a continuous beep or fast warble. The wide voltage range suits systems with varying DC supply levels. Consider the acoustic requirements; the 85-95 dB(A) output is suitable for noisy industrial settings but may require verification against ambient noise levels. Ensure the panel mount form factor fits the enclosure design.

Alarms, Buzzers, And Sirens Part Context

This component belongs to the Floyd Bell Turbo series of piezoelectric alarms. It is functionally similar to the TMC-86-948-Q but differs in physical dimensions and terminal type. The MW-09-948-Q(F) variant offers a fast warble tone instead of moderate. These devices are designed for direct panel integration without external drivers.

Alarms, Buzzers, And Sirens Replacement Considerations

The TMC-86-948-Q is a comparable panel mount alarm but uses different mounting hardware and dimensions. The MW-09-948-Q(F) serves as a functional substitute if a fast warble tone is acceptable. Verify that any replacement maintains the 9-48 VDC input range and adequate acoustic output for the environment.
