OneTouch Silencer
The first piezoelectric alarm with a built-in mute switch and automatically returns to full volume.
This alarm may seem like a standard noisemaker at first glance. But Floyd Bell's new patent-pending technology allows the alarm to be quieted by simply holding a finger to the top of the alarm body. This allows the operator to acknowledge the alarm, then mute it, maintaining a better working environment. The next time the alarm is activated, it is automatically reset to full volume (up to 96 dB). There are four different versions of the OneTouch Silencer™ Alarm:
Muteable Continuous - Alarm sounds with a continuous tone. Touching the top silences the alarm.
Muteable Continuous & Acknowledge - Alarm sounds with a continuous tone. Touching the top silences the alarm, followed by a reminder beep every 10 seconds.
Continuous with Low Mute - Alarm sounds with a continuous tone. Touching the top reduces the sound to low volume (35dB).
Continuous with Medium Mute - Alarm sounds with a continuous tone. Touching the top reduces the sound to medium volume (70dB).
The OneTouch Silencer™ begins its alarm with an audible "sweep" and actively finds the optimum frequency for your environment.
The OneTouch Silencer™ ships with a free plastic label ring to let the end user know that the alarm is muteable.
Manual Mute Switch vs. OneTouch Silencer
Consider the alternatives. At Floyd Bell, we hear stories all the time from machine operators who need a solution for quieting an alarm once it is recognized. We've seen everything from duct tape over the holes to screwdrivers being forced into the alarm to installing a switch to mute the alarm (which the operator has to remember to flip back on later!).
The OneTouch Silencer™ is a direct replacement for your existing alarm. It doesn't require an additional mounting hole. It's simple. It's another sound solution from Floyd Bell Inc.

Customization and Modification
In addition to the standard product offering in this category, we're able to modify existing units to meet your needs (minimum quantity may apply). We can use our in-house 3D printer for prototype modeling to make sure our product can be suited to your application. Whether it's adjusting the output level, adding a wire harness, changing the termination, custom tone or another solution, we're happy to work with you to find a solution.
