Buzzers In A Box 110V Work Shift Buzzer System

Description

Buzzers In A Box 110V is a complete work shift timer and audible signaling system designed to automate shift changes, employee breaks, lunch periods, and other scheduled alerts. The system combines a programmable master timer with two high-volume 110VAC buzzers to provide consistent audible signaling throughout a facility.

The starter package includes a programmable timer, two 4-inch high-output buzzers, mounting hardware, wiring, and the installation components needed for a standard setup. Once programmed, the timer automatically activates the buzzers according to the schedule stored in the controller. Multiple daily events can be programmed, allowing businesses to maintain consistent shift and break signaling without manual intervention.

The system provides a centralized timing source for audible alerts and can be expanded as facility requirements change. Additional signaling devices or strobe lights can be incorporated to create a broader facility-wide timing and notification system.

This configuration is well suited for manufacturing plants, machine shops, warehouses, distribution centers, service departments, and other workplaces where employees may not always be watching a clock. Centralized scheduling helps eliminate timing differences between departments and keeps audible notifications consistent throughout the facility.

The included 110VAC buzzers produce a sharp, high-output tone designed to carry across work areas and provide easily recognizable notifications for employees. Their compact design makes them practical for installations where dependable audible signaling is needed without taking up significant wall space.

FAQ

Is this system difficult to install?

The starter package includes the primary components required for a standard installation. Installation requirements can vary depending on the facility, wiring configuration, and number of signaling devices.

Why use buzzers instead of bells?

Industrial buzzers produce a sharp, distinctive tone that can be easier to recognize in manufacturing areas, warehouses, and other workplaces with moderate background noise. They also provide a compact alternative when a traditional bell is not preferred.

Buzzers In A Box is a complete solution for your workplace!
Pays for itself IN JUST ONE WEEK:

Example:

You are in manufacturing, you have 10 or more employees.

They drag out break and lunch time by 2 to 3 minutes, every day, two breaks, one lunch a day.  
Worse yet, you have "smokers"
When the lunch ends, someone has to shout "Back to work!"  
Stop the drama, the bell becomes "the bad guy."  Not you or a manager.

Install a simple - or advanced - bell or buzzer system, the bell becomes that "bad guy." 
They won't miss a break, they will take lunch on time, they will start when they should, they will come back, like trained people, when they are supposed to.

Using very conservative numbers, you will gain a minimum of 4 minutes per day per person.
Doesn't sound like much, you would be wrong.

Using extremely conservative numbers, math doesn't lie:
1 employee, $20 per hour WITH taxes and benefits. (You're realling paying about $14 up front, you can't avoid the taxes, PTO, insurances):
That's 34 cents labor cost, one low-pay employee, per minute.  You know this number is low.

Recover 1 minute of break time.  2 minutes of lunch time. 1 more minute of second break.
Not factoring this in: They then work until the END OF DAY with the bell system, not slowing down 10 minutes ahead of time.  That's additional labor expenses you recover..

We can count on 4 minutes absolute minumum time recoverd, per person, per day.  4x .34 = $1.36 per day. 5 days: $6.80 per week. 
52 weeks: $352 per year per employee in recovered labor time.  Every year.

$352 x 10 employees:  $3,520.  Every year.  And the shop becomes more organized.

This has been going on for years:  People keep asking "How loud are your bells?"

July 5, 2018 more to know: 
A Fire Station Siren is 116 decibals. Our bells and buzzers are typically 98 to 102.

Unfortunately, it's like describing a dinner at a restaurant. It depends on the environment. 
Is it an empty room like a gymnasium?  Does it have lots of rooms, or lots of background noise like a woodworking shop?  Is this a warehouse with lots of rows of shelving and boxes of fabric?

Bells and buzzers all seem to max out at 102db.  102db is very loud.
110db is extremely loud, check out the YouTube video below. 

In our experience, installing 2 to 3 bells or buzzers is much more effective than just one.   Put one by the timer, then run wire out the another, 50 to 100' away.  It won't be louder, it will just be more likely to be heard above all the background noise.

So, yours truly did some research recently (2016), this is interesting,
Using an Android phone decibel app, this is what we found:

**A bedroom at night in the country, windows closed:  28 - 32 db
**A bedroom at night in the city with the windows closed:  42- 46 db
**Office environment, people chattering:  62db

**American Airlines 737 inside. just behind the wing during takeoff:  86db
**Same jet, landing with the reverse thrusters on:  88db  That ROAR you hear..
**Same jet, cruising for 3 hours, it's 82 to 86db.  That's (partially) why flying is so tiring.
Shop buzzer's:  102db (Edwards, the ones we sell)  Other brands "hum" at 82 to 86.
Our bells test out at 98 to 103db depending on voltage

It seems that no one offers anything louder than 103db, unless it goes on a train, ocean liner, or fog horn.  In some cases loudspeakers are used on farms; we don't have them, but our equipment will ring them.  This is 110db, a train horn on an obnoxious person's pickup truck.  In a working environment, this would clearly cause accidents.

More bells or horns does not make it louder, it just makes it more pervasive - easier to hear through the machinery, across the rooms, over conversations and running equipment like compressors, lifts, packing tape, all that.
