sixwheeledbeast Posted June 17, 2011 Posted June 17, 2011 This is a 24v bell. What amperage does it require? (the transformer) 30mA @ 24Vdc (Gent 12141-01)
Gemini Posted June 17, 2011 Author Posted June 17, 2011 That is excellent. I am actually trying to find an inexpensive transformer. Any ideas?
Adi Posted June 17, 2011 Posted June 17, 2011 you could look for a robot in disguise I really can't be ar**** with it anymore.
sixwheeledbeast Posted June 18, 2011 Posted June 18, 2011 I am actually trying to find an inexpensive transformer. Any ideas? I don't think there's a transformer inside a bell. There would either be a small DC motor or a solenoid. What do you want the "transformer" for.
norman Posted June 18, 2011 Posted June 18, 2011 I'm guessing to drop from 230v ? Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool.
Gemini Posted June 19, 2011 Author Posted June 19, 2011 I was considering getting this bell just for a bit of fun, not to install. I gather the "transformer" would usually be built into the control panel in an installation.

The fire alarm panel has a power supply to power the panel, devices and upon a fire condition the bell/sounders. You would require a 24Vdc power supply capable of supplying over 30mA. Unfortunatly 24Vdc is a voltage only used on a limited amount of equipment. Or get a 12Vdc bell and power supply?

Is it okay with 24Vdc power supply. I have a doubt in my mind.
Oxo Posted September 3, 2012 Posted September 3, 2012 Why? What difference is a 24vdc PSU to the panel bell outputs, which run off a 24vdc supply?
