PS-580Q

Overview

The PS-580Q is a piezoelectric audio indicator from the Mallory Sonalert PS series, designed for industrial applications. It operates on a 12 VDC nominal voltage with a wide input range of 5 to 15 VDC. The device produces a continuous tone at a frequency between 2300 Hz and 3300 Hz, achieving a sound pressure level of 100 dBA. Electrical characteristics include a current rating of 150 mA. Physical installation utilizes wire leads and flange mounting, ensuring secure attachment in various enclosures.

Feature Summary

• Piezoelectric transducer technology for reliable acoustic output
• Wide operating voltage tolerance supporting 5V to 15V DC inputs
• Flange mount configuration with integrated wire leads for direct connection

Applications

• Industrial machinery status indication
• Control panel alarm signaling
• Equipment fault detection systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific frequency requirement within the 2300 Hz to 3300 Hz range against system specifications before procurement. Confirm that the 150 mA current draw is compatible with the target power supply capacity. Ensure the flange mounting dimensions align with the available enclosure space. Cross-reference the datasheet for environmental ratings if the deployment location involves extreme temperatures or humidity.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-decibel audible alert is required for industrial environments. The wide voltage range makes it suitable for systems with varying power stability. Compare against the PS-583Q if a siren tone is preferred over a continuous tone. Consider the PS-593SCQ for higher sound pressure levels if noise attenuation is a concern. Evaluate physical size constraints as the unit requires adequate clearance for flange mounting.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Mallory Sonalert PS series, which specializes in robust piezoelectric alarms for harsh conditions. The series offers various tones including siren, warble, and pulse modes. The PS-580Q specifically provides a standard continuous tone option. It shares the same mounting style and general form factor as other units in the PS family, allowing for modular design consistency across different product lines.
