ANSI/IEEE Audible bell form

IEEE-library form of audible bell: a bell indication identifies an audible annunciation output in a control circuit.

In plain English

What does ANSI/IEEE Audible bell form mean?

This reference locates audible bell in Autodesk's IEEE-oriented miscellaneous family. A bell indication identifies an audible alarm indication output in a control circuit. The public library uses HAN1B for its horizontal representation; this is a vendor block name, not an IEEE standards symbol number.

A simple example

Use the surrounding circuit labels and the project legend to identify the intended operating condition and connection. Carry the same device reference into the schedule or equipment document so the symbol can be reconciled with its real terminals, function and operating limits.

What the drawings help you do

Label the alarm purpose, supply and control contact. A bell symbol does not establish sound level or alarm priority. Label the alarm purpose, supply and control contact. A bell symbol does not establish sound level or alarm priority. The linked functional counterpart explains the same operating role in its own drawing context; agreement of every detailed convention mark is not asserted.

How to read it

  • Label the alarm purpose, supply and control contact.
  • A bell symbol does not establish sound level or alarm priority.

Information to show or reference

  • Identify the associated device, circuit or diagram boundary.
  • Label the alarm purpose, supply and control contact.
  • Cross-reference the equipment data, terminal mapping or operating-state legend needed to interpret the form.

A distinction that matters

A bell symbol does not establish sound level or alarm priority.
