The most recent change made by General Signals to their E-Bells occurred in December of 2014, with the introduction of a new circuit board which produced a new bell sound. These bells are known as GS Type 3 E-Bells, or GS3 bells. GS Type 3 E-Bells are identified solely by the sound emitted from the bell.

GS Type 3 circuit boards, labeled "GS430", look much different compared to previous versions. The components are surface mounted, giving the circuit board a more "modern" look. It isn’t known if the bell sound is a recording of a real mechanical bell, or if it’s a purely digital tone. It is lower pitched than the GS2 sound, and rings at a slightly faster rate.

The pitch of a GS Type 3 E-Bell cannot be adjusted without making custom modifications. All GS Type 3 E-Bells come with a potentiometer that adjusts volume. Due to a manufacturing error, there are GS Type 3 E-Bells that play the GS3 sound at a slightly higher or lower pitch than normal. For the musically inclined, the terms "GS3 Sharp" or "GS3 Flat" would make sense. It should be noted that these bells are extremely rare.

All GS Type 3 E-Bells use GS2 shells, although newer ones use a different branded cap.

There are several variants of the GS Type 3. Unfortunately, it’s not known what the circuit board looks like inside these variants.

All GS Type 3 E-Bells can fit onto 4 or 5 inch diameter poles.

GS Type 3 E-Bells measure 17 1/2 inches in height and 6 inches in diameter.

All GS E-Bells function off 12 volts DC.

Standard GS Type 3 E-Bells measure between 85 and 95 decibels at 5 feet. The exact decibel measurements of the Loud Tone GS Type 3 E-Bell aren’t known.

GS Type 3 E-Bells weigh about 9 lbs.

Several variants of the GS Type 3 E-Bell exist. The model numbers are listed below.

EB-3-360-5 ~ Standard GS Type 3 E-Bell.
EB-3-360-5-I ~ Loud Tone GS Type 3 E-Bell.
EB-3-360-5-3W ~ GS Type 3 E-Bell with a 3 way volume switch.

The GS Type 3 E-Bell is a common electronic bell, and can be found all across the United States and Canada, and can be found in other countries such as Australia, Argentina, Jamaica, Pakistan, and Portugal. The standard GS Type 3 E-Bell retails for $285.00 USD.
