Mircoms BL-6B and BL-10B Motorized Steel Bells
are designed for todays fire alarm applications. The
durable steel construction provides loud resonant
tones necessary for fire alarm installations.
The BL-6B and BL-10B bells use a varistor
suppression element to prevent RFI and EMF noise
problems to modern fire alarm control panels.
The motor used on the BL-6B and BL-10B bells
operate at a very low current (20 mA) to maximize
the number of bells per circuit. Both models are
equipped with a pigtail connection for wiring.
Both the BL-6B and BL-10B mount on a standard
4 square electrical box for indoor use or on a
BB-206WP weatherproof backbox for outdoor
applications. Mounting on a 4 octagon outlet box
requires the MP-101 Universal Mounting Plate.
