TXT-86-515-S

Overview

The Floyd Bell Inc TXT-86-515-S is a piezoelectric alarm device belonging to the Turbo series. It features an internally driven indicator circuit and accepts DC input within a voltage range of 5 to 30 volts. The unit operates at a frequency of 2.9 kHz and delivers a sound pressure level of 70 dB at 5V measured at a distance of 61 cm. Power consumption ranges from 5 to 25 mA. Designed for panel mounting, it includes wire leads for termination and offers IP68 protection against dust and water ingress. The operating temperature range spans from -20°C to 65°C.

Feature Summary

• Combines high-intensity LED illumination with a loud piezoelectric alarm in a compact form factor
• Features push-lock technology for secure installation without additional hardware
• Provides internal driving circuitry for simplified integration into control systems

Applications

• Industrial machinery status indication
• Vehicle warning systems
• Heavy equipment safety alerts

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific suffix matches the required LED color and tone configuration. Confirm that the wire lead length meets your harness requirements. Ensure the panel cutout dimensions align with the specified diameter. Check for UL or UR certification compliance if required by your regional safety standards. Validate the IP68 rating necessity for your environmental conditions.

Selection Notes

Select this model when both visual and audible warnings are necessary in a single component. The Turbo series offers higher output than standard alarms while maintaining a smaller footprint. Consider the 5-30V DC input range for compatibility with various vehicle and industrial power systems. The integrated driver eliminates the need for external oscillators.

Part Context

This component is part of Floyd Bell's Turbo line, designed for durability in harsh environments. The series is known for combining lighting and audio functions. It serves as a direct replacement for older dual-function indicators in heavy-duty applications where space is limited but visibility and audibility are critical.

Replacement Considerations

Check for compatible substitutes within the Twin Turbo or Universal Twin Turbo series if different tones are needed. Verify physical dimensions against existing panel mounts before substitution. Ensure voltage ratings match the new application's power supply capabilities.
