GENERAL:

The TB series Telbells are designed to provide a loud attention getting bell sound for use in noisy locations or for wide area coverage.
It includes an externally adjustable, tamper resistant volume control. Telbell utilizes the motor driven mechanism concept that
incorporates a high torque permanent magnet motor and a 6" aluminum shell to produce higher sound output and lower resonant
frequency than conventional mechanical bells. The TB series are designed for use with telephone communications systems whose
ringing voltages are from 18-30VAC/DC, or 38-60VDC.
Telbells are attractively packaged for convenient indoor or outdoor surface mounting. Wiring is easy because a modular telephone
jack is provided. Additionally, they provide screw terminals for hard wiring, and a knockout for 1/2" conduit.
