Bell System Sounders, Beacons, Fire Switches and Time Clock

Bell System Sounders, Beacons, Fire Switches and Time Clock

This page lists Bell System call signalling and control accessories for door entry systems: extension sounders, flashing beacons, fireman's drop-key switches and the TS2000-BST time clock. Choose the model code from the drop-down. The sounders extend the call tone of a door entry telephone to other areas of the premises. The beacons give a visual indication of a call, for the hard of hearing or areas with a lot of background noise.

Bell's extension sounders are made in white ABS plastic for wall mounting in an indoor location. The FB31 beacon gives a visual indication of a call and has a timer circuit that can be set from 4 to 40 seconds. The FS1 fire switches are drop-key switches with security fixings, permanently engraved FIRE CONTROL. The TS2000-BST is the time clock Bell includes in its door entry systems for the trades entry facility.

Common questions

Which extension sounder works with the 801 telephone?

Bell lists the RT27 for extensions to the standard 801 telephones. It extends the call tone of the door entry telephone to other areas of the premises, is made in white ABS plastic and wall mounts indoors. For Bellissimo telephones Bell lists a different model, the BS-RT, which is not on this page.

How does the FB31 flashing beacon work?

The FB31 gives a visual indication of a call at the door entry telephone, which Bell says suits the hard of hearing or areas with a high level of background noise. Its timer circuit can be set between 4 and 40 seconds. Bell says a separate power supply may be needed. Its range page names the PS4A DC supply, depending on distance, and its brochure names the model 212.

What does the TS2000-BST time clock do?

It is a wall-mounted, 7 day programmable digital timer that runs on 12V AC/DC. Bell includes it in its door entry systems for the trades entry facility. Once the date is programmed it adjusts for British Summer Time each spring and autumn, and it has an LCD display, 8 on/off periods and manual override.

What is the difference between the FS1 and FS2 fire switches?

Bell describes the FS1-F as a flush stainless steel fireman's drop-key switch and the FS1-S as a surface red powder coated switch with a stainless steel plate. Both have security fixings and are engraved FIRE CONTROL. The price list describes the FS2-F and FS2-S as double pole fireman's switches, flush and surface, without further detail.
