Eaton Surface Mount Electronic Sounder, 24 V dc, 100dB at 1 m, IP65, DC, 24-Tone

This range of lightweight, intrinsically safe electronic Sounders from Crouse-Hinds have been designed with a high weatherproof rating to cope with the harsh environmental conditions found offshore and onshore in the oil, gas and petrochemical industries. The DB5 can also be used in the mining industry.

The DB5 Intrinsically Safe Sounder is ideally suited for use in areas of high ambient noise, with a sound output greater than 100 dB. ATEX certified to Ex II 1G EX ia IIC T4, the multi-tone DB5 offers 26 tones, user-selectable using a 5-way DIL switch. A second alarm tone can be obtained by switching the negative supply to a third terminal. For extreme sound levels, the Sounder can be linked to the RTK DA135 Intrinsically Safe Beacon to create an audible and visual warning combination. The IP65 enclosure makes the DB5 Sounder ideal for the harsh environmental conditions found offshore as well as those of the onshore oil, gas and chemical industries.
