Mircom BL-6B/BL-10B
Motorized Steel Bells
Description
Mircom’s BL-6B and BL-10B Motorized Steel Bells are designed for today’s fire
alarm applications. The durable steel construction provides loud resonant
tones necessary for fire alarm installations.
The BL-6B and BL-10B bells use a varistor suppression element to prevent RFI
and EMF noise problems to modern fire alarm control panels.
The motor used on the BL-6B and BL-10B bells operate at a very low current (20
mA) to maximize the number of bells per circuit. Both models are equipped with
a pigtail connection for wiring.
Both the BL-6B and BL-10B mount on a standard 4” square electrical box for
indoor use or on a BB206WP weatherproof backbox for outdoor applications.
Mounting on a 4” octagon outlet box requires the MP101 Universal Mounting
Plate.
