Signalling - sounders - DB3B
DB3B
The DB3B is a high power explosion proof sounder, introduced as a replacement for the current DB3 with improved functionality and performance. Certified for use in a wide range of temperatures from -55ºC to +70ºC, the Ex enclosure is manufactured from GRP with a rugged thermoplastic flare providing a corrosion free and aesthetically pleasing product. Capable of producing 122dB @ 1m and with a range of pre-recorded tones, the DB3B includes an integral volume control which is ideal when a lower output is required.
The unit is provided with versatile control options allowing compatibility with a wide range of control methods and PLCs. The standard DC unit provides 3 tone stages, each stage has 28 tones available which can be independently selected. The unit can be controlled by reversing the polarity of the power supply (2 stage) or providing a common negative and switching between multiple positive supplies. The DB3B proves its versatility by additionally being able to work with a common positive supply and switching the negatives. The tone stages of the DB3B can also be controlled via voltage free contacts provided by a control panel.
The flexibility of the range continues with a wide range of supply voltages. The short flare option is worthy addition to the range offering a high SPL in a compact unit.
