Product Information
Full details
The Eaton Industries Signal Bell (167393) is an essential acoustic signaling solution for facility managers, electricians, and homeowners seeking reliable alert systems in residential and commercial spaces like offices and banks. Its primary benefit is providing a clear, continuous 80dB alarm notification within standard distribution boards, though it is important to note that this device is designed strictly for short-time operation under the IEC 62080 standard rather than continuous, long-term sounding.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation requires standard electrical knowledge and safety precautions. The device is compatible with standard 230V AC circuits and mounts directly onto a DIN-rail or via screws inside a panel.
- Ensure the power is isolated before starting installation.
- Snap the module onto the DIN-rail or secure with mounting screws.
- Connect the 230V AC supply lines to the appropriate terminals.
- Verify connections are tight to prevent arcing.
For care, simply inspect the module periodically during routine distribution board maintenance to ensure terminals remain secure and the unit is free of dust buildup. As it carries an IP20 rating, avoid exposure to moisture, dust, or environments with high humidity.
