This bell was first shown on Safetran's site sometime in early to 1998, and was taken off sometime in mid to late 2005. The PDF file shown below still exists on Safetran's site, however it is no longer linked to anymore, or can be found on Safetran's search engine.
Despite the possibility of being discontinued, the bell is still in use by quite a high number of crossings Today, and can be found in numerous locations.
The term "Type 1" was created my Smjh1979 as a way to distinquish this bell from the other kinds of electronic bells that Safetran has to offer. Safetran does not call this a "type 1", but only an "Electronic Bell."
Many signalfans like this bell due to its low, unique tone it produces, and many people say it's the closest thing to a real mechanical bell.
The current it draws is only 250 mAh. Voltage ranges from 8 to 20 volts DC, and outputs sounds between 90 to 105 decibles, and weighs only 8 pounds. |

There are two different models of this bell available:
The Standard Omnidirectional - Part # 040203-XS OR.
The unidirectional - Part # 040203-DXS.
It hasn't been confirmed, but upon
seeing a price listing for all of Safetran's products, the Safetran
type 1 is not listed, and is likely discontinued.
