UW-09-515-W(S)

Overview

The UW-09-515-W(S) is a panel mount chime alarm manufactured by Floyd Bell Inc. It belongs to the Audiolarm II series and features an internally driven piezo driver circuit. The device operates on a DC voltage range of 5 to 25 volts with a power consumption current of 5 to 25 mA. It produces a sound pressure level of 70 dB at 5V measured at a distance of 61 cm. The unit has a rated frequency of 2.9 kHz and utilizes wire leads for termination. It is designed for top port placement and offers IP68 protection against dust and water ingress.

Feature Summary

• Internally driven piezo technology for simplified integration
• IP68 rated enclosure providing dust tight and waterproof protection
• Wide operating voltage range supporting 5 to 25 VDC input

Applications

• Industrial equipment status indication
• Appliance audio signaling
• Control panel alarm systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix (W)(S) against official manufacturer documentation to confirm lead wire configuration and mounting hardware specifications. Ensure the required acoustic output meets the application's ambient noise requirements, as SPL varies with voltage. Confirm that the panel cutout dimensions align with the specified diameter before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a rugged, waterproof audible indicator is required for harsh environments. The wide voltage tolerance allows compatibility with various control logic levels without external regulation. Consider the physical dimensions and wire lead length during mechanical design to ensure proper fit within the enclosure constraints.

Part Context

This part is part of the Audiolarm II family from Floyd Bell Inc., which specializes in piezoelectric signaling devices. The series is known for robust construction suitable for demanding industrial applications. The UW-09-515 variant specifically denotes the panel mount form factor with integrated wiring.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other models in the Audiolarm II series for similar acoustic performance or voltage ratings. Verify mechanical footprint compatibility if substituting with different manufacturers' piezo chimes.
