It runs on 12 V~ 50-60 Hz or 12 V d.c. (SELV) and gives three sound options: three-tone, two-tone, and buzzer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVolume is adjustable up to 70 dB, which suits interior alerting where you need the sound to carry through cabins and corridors. The housing is plastic and rated IP30, so it is intended for dry onboard locations such as the cabin, nav station, or inside a console rather than exposed cockpits or washdown zones.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eKey features\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e12 V~ (50-60 Hz) or 12 V d.c.

Plan the location so the sound can travel into the spaces where people will hear it, and keep it in a dry area where spray and dripping condensation are not expected.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWire it into a protected 12 V signalling circuit, following your vessel’s low-voltage practices and using SELV power as intended. If your boat is primarily 24 V d.c., provide a properly protected step-down supply to 12 V d.c. before connecting the unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eCompatibility and fit\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a Vimar Idea-series module, so fit is tied to the Idea modular ecosystem rather than round surface-mount buzzers. It is a good match when your boat already uses Vimar modular plates in cabins or interior bulkheads and you want an audible call point that matches the rest of the switches and outlets.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vimar","offers":[{"title":"Gray","offer_id":52370944032949,"sku":"QBP137328-V1","price":282.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Ivory","offer_id":52370944065717,"sku":"QBP137328-V4","price":261.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0977\/8171\/1029\/files\/1315654_qbp137328.jpg?v=1774056216","url":"https:\/\/www.qualityboatparts.com\/products\/qbp137328","provider":"Quality Boat Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
