Bellbox
Term · Industrial and trades · MLC-T-IND-000511
The weatherproof metal or plastic housing mounted on the outside of a building that contains the sounder and usually a flashing strobe of an intruder alarm. When the alarm triggers, the siren and light warn people nearby and deter the intruder. Modern units have tamper switches and a backup battery so that they keep sounding if the cables are cut, and sounder requirements in Europe are set by the standard EN 50131-4.
