UW-09-515-W(F)

Overview

The UW-09-515-W(F) is a piezoelectric chime alarm manufactured by Floyd Bell Inc. 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 61 cm distance. Power consumption ranges from 5 to 25 mA across the operating voltage spectrum. Designed for panel mounting, it includes wire leads for connection and offers IP68 protection against dust and water ingress. The unit measures 1.410 inches in diameter and up to 1.480 inches in height.

Feature Summary

• Internally driven piezoelectric chime mechanism
• IP68 rated waterproof and dust-tight enclosure
• Wide DC voltage compatibility from 5V to 25V

Applications

• Panel mount industrial control panels
• Waterproof equipment status indicators
• Dust-tight machinery alarm systems

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific suffix (F) matches the required lead configuration and housing material specifications. Confirm that the 5V to 25V DC input aligns with the system power supply. Ensure the 70 dB SPL meets acoustic requirements for the intended installation environment. Check UL/UR approval agency listings for compliance with local safety regulations before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a self-contained, internally driven audible indicator is required for harsh environments. The IP68 rating makes it suitable for applications exposed to moisture or particulate matter. Consider the 2.9 kHz tone and 70 dB output level for audibility needs. Verify that the panel cutout dimensions accommodate the 1.410-inch diameter and that wire lead termination is preferred over PCB mounting.

Part Context

This part belongs to the AudioLarm II series of piezoelectric chimes. The series provides various configurations for panel mounting applications requiring reliable audible signaling. The manufacturer specializes in compact alarm devices designed for industrial and commercial use cases where durability and environmental sealing are critical operational requirements.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other models in the AudioLarm II series for alternative voltage ratings or SPL levels. Verify mechanical fitment and electrical characteristics when considering substitutes from other manufacturers.
