Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix configuration against the manufacturer's current datasheet to ensure compatibility with required mounting dimensions and lead lengths. Confirm that the internal driver circuit matches the intended logic interface without external components. Check for any recent regulatory updates regarding UL or UR certifications relevant to the target deployment region before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a self-contained audible signal is required for panel integration. The wide voltage tolerance allows flexibility in power supply design across various industrial standards. Ensure the acoustic output meets environmental noise requirements, as the SPL is specified at a fixed distance. Consider the physical dimensions for enclosure cutout planning and verify thermal limits against the expected ambient operating conditions.

Part Context

This part belongs to the AudioLarm II series of piezoelectric chimes. The series provides reliable audible notification solutions for electronic equipment. The specific model integrates the driver electronics directly into the transducer assembly, simplifying circuit board layout and reducing component count compared to externally driven alternatives.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other models in the AudioLarm II series for dimensional compatibility. Verify electrical parameters such as frequency and voltage range match the existing design constraints before substituting.
