TM293 MEDC DB3BM UL Technical Manual
SOUNDER/HORN – DB3BM UL TM293.A August 2022 www.eaton.com
4.0 OPERATION
The sounder is available in various AC input voltage
versions and a single DC input voltage version.
For AC versions, the nominal operating voltage is stated on
the unit label and the supply voltage tolerance is ±10%.
For DC versions, the absolute input voltage range is
11.0Vdc to 57.6Vdc. For full ratings data see section 6
If using EOL resistors the maximum total power
dissipation of the resistors will be limited to 3W.
The unit is fitted with a volume control which is positioned
on the top face of the electronics assembly PCB.
Maximum volume is obtained when this control is turned
fully clockwise. When turned fully anti-clockwise the unit
will emit no sound.
Warning: Do not attempt to turn the volume control past
its limits of movement as this may cause damage to the
unit.
Warning: The unit has a certified upper operating
temperature limit of +85°C, however continuous operation
is not recommended in ambient temperatures above
+70°C
