How Does One Power a General Signals E-Bell

So I acquired 2 new E-bells and a Rail Charger. New Problem, I don't know how to power them. If someone can help me, that would be appreciated.

I'd suggest contacting General Signals and seeing if they have a wiring diagram for the bell that they can send you.

Nope wait. I just used their website:http://www.generalsignals.com/electroni ... g_bell.htm
I'll try and see if it works on the weekend. The bells may actually be dead for all I know.

I'm pretty sure that the bells have to be hooked up a specific way. I could be wrong though.Trainzmandude2012 wrote:Nope wait. I just used their website:http://www.generalsignals.com/electroni ... g_bell.htm

Yeah... I agree with Brick and would be careful. If they are in working condition, and you just wing it and end up hooking one up the wrong way... YOU could kill them.freebrickproductions wrote:I'm pretty sure that the bells have to be hooked up a specific way. I could be wrong though.Trainzmandude2012 wrote:Nope wait.

I have a Mechanical Bell, and it normally works on me when I use a 9V Square Battery - to + and + to -, and wa la!. Althouh when I first recieved the bell, it was broken!

Well if it means anything on how I found them,
they actually might have been in the process of being disposed of.
Especially since that light in there was filled with rainwater.

NS was using GS e-bells in the early 2000s and then again in 2013-2014 from what I've seen. It's very likely that those are type-1s that came from a signal install that was removed for whatever reason.Trainzmandude2012 wrote:Aside from that broken one.NSrailfan4life wrote:Well what a mess, especially for gs e bells, they are practically new!
