DESCRIPTION

The Edwards B-KBH-5040-N5 Phone Bell is a solid state, self-contained unit powered by 120V 60 Hz. The unit is activated by AC or DC voltage through solid state relays. The phone bell is designed for use in indoor areas that have medium ambient noise level such as warehouses and garages. The unit is rated at 104 dB at 10 feet (3.05m). The phone bell is UL listed and comes with strain relief, connectors which secure the 6 foot (1.83m) power cord to the housing.

  • These devices are intended for connection to single line telephone or key systems only. They are not intended for use on "party line" or on coin telephone lines.
  • When installed in accordance with these instructions, the devices can be readily disconnected without affecting equipment remaining on the telephone network.
  • Registered with the Federal Communications Commission in compliance with Part 68 of FCC Rules and Regulations.

IMPORTANT TELEPHONE INFORMATION

The following information may be required by the telephone company: Telephone Number, FCC Registration Number: 3Z9USA-21250-RG-N, Ringer Equivalence Number (REN): 1.5B at greater than 50 Volts and 3.4B at less than 50 Volts.

The REN allows the installer to determine the number of devices that can be added to the telephone line and still have all the devices ring when the number is called. In most, but not all, areas the sum of all RENs for all devices connected to your line should not exceed five. To be sure of the number of devices you can connect to your telephone line, contact your local telephone company.

If these devices damage the telephone network, the telephone company will notify the owner that it may temporarily disconnect service if they consider such action necessary. If the owner considers the disconnection unwarranted, they have the right to bring a complaint to the FCC.

The telephone company may make changes in its communication facilities, equipment, operations, or procedures when such action is required. If these changes render the devices incompatible with the telephone company facilities, the telephone company will provide enough written notice so that necessary changes can be made in order to maintain uninterrupted service.
