Potter Electric Signal pdc-612 Vibrating Bell 85db 6in 12VDC

Product Description

The POTTER ELECTRIC SIGNAL pdc-612 is a vibrating-type bell designed for fire alarm, burglar alarm, and general signaling applications. Operating on 12 volts DC, it delivers an 85 dB output level sufficient for audible alerting in typical indoor environments. The bell housing measures 6 inches in diameter and mounts directly to a standard 4-inch square electrical box. Its low power consumption makes it well suited for battery-backed or supervised alarm circuits where current draw is a factor. Licensed alarm installers and electricians are the primary trades who specify and install this device.

The pdc-612 is intended for indoor use in residential and light commercial alarm systems. It functions as an audible notification appliance in fire alarm or intrusion detection systems, as well as in general-purpose signaling circuits. The 4-inch square electrical box mounting footprint is a common rough-in standard, simplifying installation in new construction and retrofit projects alike.
