Value Collection BD2379 Back-up Alarm 112 Db 12-24V

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BD2379 is a driver-type automotive back-up alarm designed to alert bystanders and workers when a vehicle reverses. Operating across a wide voltage range of 12 to 24 volts, it is compatible with light-duty and heavy-duty vehicle electrical systems. The unit delivers a loud 112 decibel output at a frequency of 1.15 kilohertz, providing a clear audible warning in noisy job site environments. With an amperage draw of 1.3 amps, it places minimal load on the vehicle electrical system. Fleet maintenance technicians, equipment operators, and commercial vehicle upfitters are the primary installers of this device.

This back-up alarm is suited for installation on trucks, trailers, construction equipment, forklifts, and other commercial or industrial vehicles where reverse-motion warning is required by site safety rules or regulatory standards. The wide voltage compatibility makes it practical for both 12-volt light commercial vehicles and 24-volt heavy equipment platforms without requiring a separate voltage converter or relay.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a qualified automotive or fleet electrician. Disconnect vehicle battery power before wiring to prevent short circuits or accidental activation. Secure the alarm housing away from heat sources and moving components, and route wiring to avoid pinch points. Local and federal safety regulations may require back-up alarms on certain classes of commercial and construction equipment — verify applicable codes before installation.
