Brigade BBS-82 White Noise Reverse Alarm is a 12/24V broadband reversing alarm designed to provide a directional, locatable warning sound when a vehicle is reversing. Instead of the traditional single-frequency “beep” used by conventional reverse alarms, the BBS-82 uses a multi-frequency broadband tone that is easier to locate near the reversing vehicle and dissipates more quickly outside the immediate danger area.

This makes the alarm suitable for worksites, depots, warehouses, civil works areas, traffic control vehicles, service vehicles and fleet vehicles where reversing warnings are required but noise nuisance needs to be managed. The locatable sound output helps people identify which vehicle is reversing, which is particularly useful in busy work areas with multiple vehicles operating nearby.

The BBS-82 is rated at 82dBA at 1 metre and operates on 12/24V systems. It features an insulated earth design, two flylead wire connection, IP68 protection, epoxy-sealed construction and a black moulded glass-filled nylon housing for demanding vehicle and worksite environments.

What is a white noise reverse alarm?

A white noise reverse alarm uses a broadband, multi-frequency sound rather than the sharp single-frequency beep of a conventional reversing alarm. The sound is easier to locate near the vehicle and dissipates more quickly outside the immediate work area.

Why use a broadband reverse alarm instead of a standard beeper?

Broadband reverse alarms can help reduce noise nuisance while still providing a clear reversing warning near the vehicle. They are commonly used where vehicles operate near workers, pedestrians, neighbouring properties or other noise-sensitive areas.

Is the Brigade BBS-82 suitable for 12V and 24V vehicles?

Yes. The BBS-82 is listed as suitable for 12/24V vehicle electrical systems.

How loud is the BBS-82 reverse alarm?

The BBS-82 has a sound output of 82dBA measured at 1 metre.

Where can this reverse alarm be mounted?

The alarm can be bottom or rear surface mounted using the supplied bracket arrangement, with 76mm mounting centres.
