Why Choose the ABB RI230 Electro-Mechanical Modular Bell?
The ABB RI230 is an electro-mechanical modular bell designed for acoustic signalling in residential, commercial and industrial electrical installations. Operating directly from a 230 V AC supply, it provides a straightforward audible signalling solution without requiring a separate low-voltage bell transformer.
The RI230 produces a traditional bell signal with a sound level of approximately 80 dB at 0.6 m. It operates at 50/60 Hz, consumes 6 VA and is intended for discontinuous operation, making it suitable for door signalling, alarms, notification and supervision applications.
At only 18 mm wide, the RI230 occupies a single DIN module and mounts directly on a DIN rail alongside other modular electrical equipment. Its IP20 protection rating, flexible mounting position and compact 18 × 87.5 × 60 mm dimensions make it practical for integration into suitable distribution and control assemblies.
Key Advantages
- Direct 230 V AC operation without a separate bell transformer.
- Electro-mechanical construction provides a recognisable traditional bell signal.
- Approximately 80 dB sound level at 0.6 m.
- Compact 1-module / 18 mm DIN-rail format.
- Suitable for residential, commercial and industrial acoustic signalling.
- 50/60 Hz operation for standard AC installations.
- Flexible mounting position simplifies installation within suitable enclosures.
- Designed to EN 62080 requirements for sound signalling devices.

Compact 230 V AC Acoustic Signalling
The ABB RI230 provides an audible bell signal directly from a 230 V AC control or signalling circuit. This eliminates the need for a separate transformer where a mains-voltage signalling device is appropriate, helping simplify wiring and reduce the amount of DIN-rail space required within the installation.
Designed for discontinuous operation, the RI230 is suited to signalling events rather than continuous sound generation. Its 80 dB electro-mechanical bell output provides a clear audible indication for applications such as door calls, alarms, notifications and supervisory signalling, while its single-module housing enables straightforward integration into modular assemblies.
Typical Applications
- Residential doorbell and call signalling.
- Commercial building acoustic notification.
- Alarm indication circuits.
- Supervision and status signalling.
- Schools and institutional buildings.
- Factories and industrial signalling applications.
- DIN-rail distribution and control assemblies requiring a 230 V AC audible bell.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the ABB RI230?
The ABB RI230 is a 230 V AC electro-mechanical modular bell designed to provide audible signalling in residential, commercial and industrial electrical installations.
Does the ABB RI230 require a bell transformer?
No. The RI230 is designed for direct operation from a 230 V AC supply, so a separate low-voltage bell transformer is not required when it is used on a suitable 230 V AC signalling circuit.
How loud is the ABB RI230?
The RI230 electro-mechanical bell has a specified sound level of approximately 80 dB at a distance of 0.6 m.
Can the ABB RI230 operate continuously?
No. The RI230 is intended for discontinuous operation. ABB specifies a maximum permanent working time of 15 s, followed by a rest period of at least 60 s.
How much DIN-rail space does the ABB RI230 require?
The RI230 is 18 mm wide and occupies just 1 DIN module, making it suitable for compact modular distribution and control assemblies.
Trusted ABB Acoustic Signalling
ABB RI electro-mechanical modular bells provide compact and dependable audible signalling for building and industrial installations, combining direct AC operation, DIN-rail mounting and a clear traditional bell signal.
