Circuitron 5700 BR-1 Bell Ringer With Bell

The CIRCUITRON BR-1 Bell Ringer is ideal for use with any of our grade crossing systems. The BR-1 is designed to power a standard mechanical doorbell (a 2½” doorbell is included). This combination is less costly than digital recordings and yet provides a far better sound quality than most all electronic bell simulator circuits. The BR-1 is quite sophisticated and provides control of both the ringing rate and the strike force. In this way, the sound produced by the bell can be easily changed to simulate grade crossing, locomotive or factory bells. The BR-1 is automatically activated by any CIRCUITRON Detection Circuit. The BR-1 may also be easily wired for manual operation with a panel pushbutton or switch, if desired. The BR-1 circuit board measures 2” x 3” and requires a 12 – 18 volt AC or DC input for proper operation.

Warning: The BR-1 is NOT designed for continuous operation. If extended ringing periods are anticipated, use only a REGULATED 12 volt DC source to minimize heat buildup in the BR-1 components. Any input voltage in excess of 12 volts must be dissipated as heat on the circuit board. If this heat is allowed to build up (from extended or continuous use), damage to components may occur.
