Potter Electric Signal pdc-1012 Vibrating Bell 92db 10in 12VDC

Product Description

The POTTER ELECTRIC SIGNAL pdc-1012 is a vibrating-type bell designed for use as a fire alarm, burglar alarm, or general signaling device in indoor installations. Operating at 12 volts DC, the unit delivers a high-output 92 dB alert tone suitable for applications where audible notification is critical. Its low power consumption makes it well-suited for battery-backed or panel-powered alarm systems. The 10-inch bell face produces a broad, penetrating sound pattern. Licensed alarm and fire protection technicians are the typical installers for this class of signaling device.

The pdc-1012 is intended for indoor use in residential or light commercial fire alarm, intrusion detection, and general signaling systems. It mounts directly to a standard 4-inch square electrical box, making it compatible with common rough-in wiring infrastructure. This mounting approach simplifies installation in both new construction and retrofit projects where standard electrical boxes are already in place.
