This is a 24v bell. What amperage does it require? (the transformer)

30mA @ 24Vdc (Gent 12141-01)

That is excellent.

I am actually trying to find an inexpensive transformer. Any ideas?

you could look for a robot in disguise

I don't think there's a transformer inside a bell.

There would either be a small DC motor or a solenoid.

What do you want the "transformer" for.

I'm guessing to drop from 230v ?

I was considering getting this bell just for a bit of fun, not to install.

I gather the "transformer" would usually be built into the control panel in an installation.

The fire alarm panel has a power supply to power the panel, devices and upon a fire condition the bell/sounders.

You would require a 24Vdc power supply capable of supplying over 30mA.

Unfortunatly 24Vdc is a voltage only used on a limited amount of equipment.

Or get a 12Vdc bell and power supply?

Is it okay with 24Vdc power supply. I have a doubt in my mind.

Why?

What difference is a 24vdc PSU to the panel bell outputs, which run off a 24vdc supply?
