Product Information
Full details
The Pyronix Deltabell Dummy Bell Box (DELTA-BDB) is designed for homeowners and small business owners seeking a cost-effective visual deterrent to improve property security without the expense of a fully monitored alarm system. Its primary benefit is the professional appearance it provides, which mimics the visual presence of a functional alarm to discourage potential intruders; however, it is important to note that this unit does not contain any electronic components or sirens and provides no audible alarm functionality.

FAQs
Does this unit have a flashing light?
No, this is a passive dummy bell box and does not include an LED or any flashing light functionality.
Does it include batteries?
No, it is a non-functional unit and does not require or support batteries.
Can I add a siren to this unit later?
The dummy version is not designed to house electronics or sirens; for a functional system, you would need to purchase the active Deltabell hardware.
Is it weather resistant?
Yes, it is designed for outdoor use and is constructed to withstand typical weather conditions.
Are mounting screws included?
The unit generally requires standard wall screws appropriate for your specific mounting surface, which are typically sourced based on the wall material.
Troubleshooting
Unit appears faded after several years
Harsh environmental exposure can affect plastics; the unit can be cleaned with a mild soapy solution or, if necessary, replaced due to its low cost.
Mounting plate feels loose
Ensure that the wall fixings are tight and appropriate for the substrate; use longer screws if the mortar is crumbling.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation of the Deltabell Dummy Bell Box involves mounting the backplate to a clean, flat surface using appropriate screws and rawlplugs for your wall type (brick, wood, or render). Because it is a passive dummy unit, it is compatible with all building types. To maintain the professional appearance, periodically wipe the exterior housing with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust or spiderwebs. While the plastic is UV-stabilized, placing it in a location that avoids extreme, constant direct sunlight may further extend the aesthetic lifespan of the blue lens.
