UW-09-515-Q(F)

Overview

The UW-09-515-Q(F) is a piezoelectric chime alarm manufactured by Floyd Bell Inc, belonging to the Audiolarm II series. Designed for panel mounting, this internally driven indicator utilizes wire leads for connection and features a top port location. It operates on a DC voltage range of 5 to 25 volts with a power consumption current between 5 and 25 mA. The device generates an acoustic signal at a frequency of 2.9 kHz with a sound pressure level of 70 dB measured at 5 volts and 61 cm distance. Constructed to meet IP68 standards for dust tightness and waterproofing, it functions reliably within an operating temperature range of -20°C to 65°C. The unit measures 1.410 inches in diameter and has a maximum installation height of 1.480 inches, carrying UL and UR approval agency certifications.

Feature Summary

• Internally driven piezoelectric technology for direct DC input operation
• IP68 rated enclosure providing dust tight and waterproof protection
• Panel mount construction with wire lead termination
• Certified by UL and UR approval agencies

Applications

• Industrial control panel signaling
• Equipment status indication requiring environmental resistance
• Safety warning systems in enclosed machinery

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix (F) against official manufacturer documentation to confirm exact lead time and packaging configurations. Ensure the required voltage matches the 5-25V DC specification before integration. Confirm that the IP68 rating meets the environmental exposure requirements of the intended installation site. Cross-reference the UL/UR listing number for compliance validation.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a robust, environmentally sealed audible indicator is required for panel mounting applications. The wide voltage tolerance allows flexibility in system design without external drivers. Consider the 70 dB SPL output relative to ambient noise levels. Verify that the physical dimensions fit the available panel cutout space and that the wire lead termination method aligns with the assembly process.
