New Narva reversing alarms add safety to trucks

Developed to meet the demanding safety requirements of mining, industrial and on-road industries, the Squawk Tone Alarms have the ability to provide an effective warning signal that diffuses quickly outside the warning zone, reducing unnecessary noise pollution.

Narva says this makes the range ideal for use at night in built-up urban areas for utilities maintenance vehicles, in emergency roadside rescue applications and similar.

Four 12/24V alarm options are available across the line-up, providing fixed tone outputs of 87, 97 and 102 decibels. A highlight of the range is a self-adjusting ‘smart’ reversing alarm that can adjust its volume between 77 to 97 decibels, to best cater for the ambient sounds level within the operating environment. This feature is useful for vehicles that are used in diverse locations, from quieter sites to noisy highway environments.

All four Squawk Tone Alarms are certified to SAE standards, guaranteeing that actual output matches stated output. The range also boasts solid-state, potted circuitry and is fully sealed to IP67 for water and dust ingress. This robustness of design and construction allows Narva to back the range with a lifetime warranty.

Narva’s new Squawk Reverse Tone Alarms are available at a recommended retail price of $120 for the 12/24V 87dB and 12/24V 97dB models, $200 for the 12/24V 102dB variant and $250 for the 12/24V self-adjusting ‘smart’ alarm.

The range can be purchased from leading automotive and transportation outlets nationwide.
