TXW-86-515-W(S)

Overview

The TXW-86-515-W(S) is a piezoelectric chime alarm manufactured by Floyd Bell Inc, belonging to the Audiolarm II series. It features an internally driven indicator circuit and accepts DC input within a voltage range of 5 to 25 volts. The device operates at a frequency of 2.9 kHz with a sound pressure level of 70 dB measured at 5 volts and a distance of 61 cm. Power consumption ranges from 5 to 25 mA across the specified voltage range. Designed for panel mounting, it includes wire leads for connection and offers IP68 protection against dust and water ingress. The unit supports an operating temperature range of -20°C to 65°C and holds UL and UR approval agency certifications.

Feature Summary

• Piezoelectric technology ensures reliable acoustic output without external drivers
• IP68 rated enclosure provides complete dust tightness and waterproofing
• Internally driven circuit simplifies integration into control systems
• UL and UR certified for industrial safety compliance

Applications

• Industrial machinery status indication
• Control panel alarm signaling
• Automated equipment fault notification
• Process monitoring system alerts

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific suffix (S) matches the required lead configuration and mounting hardware specifications. Confirm that the 5-25V DC input range aligns with the available power supply in the target application. Ensure the IP68 rating meets the environmental exposure requirements of the installation site. Check for valid UL/UR certification documentation if regulatory compliance is mandatory for the end product.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a robust, self-contained audible alarm is required for harsh environments. The wide voltage tolerance allows flexibility in power design. The high IP rating makes it suitable for washdown or outdoor applications where standard indicators would fail. Consider the 70 dB SPL output for audibility in moderately noisy industrial settings.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Audiolarm II series of piezoelectric chimes from Floyd Bell Inc. The series is designed for industrial applications requiring durable, maintenance-free audible signaling. The TXW-86-515-W(S) variant specifically offers panel mount installation with wire leads, distinguishing it from PCB-mounted or screw-terminal alternatives within the same family.
