Description
Description
The Brigade Reverse Alarm White Noise 82dB (model BBS-82) is a bbs-tek BACKALARM broadband reverse alarm for utes, trucks, plant and traffic control vehicles. Instead of the constant single-tone beep of a standard reversing alarm, it produces a multi-frequency broadband sound that dissipates quickly and stays localised to the danger zone directly behind the vehicle.
Because the sound doesn't carry the way a single-tone beeper does, people working nearby can tell exactly which vehicle is reversing without the noise nuisance and complaints that come with standard alarms. This makes it a practical option for depots, worksites and traffic control operations where several vehicles may be moving at once.
The BBS-82 is the only alarm in the Brigade medium-duty range that carries NAS/PIEK approval for night-time delivery, a European low-noise certification. Night works noise limits in Australia are set by the relevant council or road authority, so check the conditions that apply to your job.
The alarm is sealed to IP68 and epoxy filled against mud, water and vibration, with a mechanical resistance rating of 10G, and it can be steam and pressure cleaned. It runs on 12V and 24V systems with a 9 to 32V operating range, and mounts on the bottom or rear surface using the supplied bracket. It carries UN ECE Regulation 10.04 EMC approval (E11*10R04/03*5170*01) and conforms to SAE J994.
Installation should be carried out by a suitably competent person or auto electrician.
This alarm runs at a fixed 82dB. If your vehicles move between quiet residential streets and noisy sites, the Brigade Self Adjusting Reverse Alarm 77-97dB reads the surrounding noise and sets its own volume 5 to 10dB above it instead.
Also available: the Vehicle Direction Alarm, a directional voice/tonal alarm covering left, right and reverse movement, for sites that need direction-specific warnings rather than a broadband reverse tone.

Brigade Reverse Alarm FAQs
How is this different from a standard beeping reverse alarm?
How is this different from a standard beeping reverse alarm?
Standard alarms use a single tone that carries a long way and can be a noise nuisance. This alarm uses multi-frequency broadband white sound that dissipates quickly and stays localised to the danger zone directly behind the vehicle, so it's easier to tell which vehicle is reversing without the noise spreading through a whole depot or site.
Should I get this fixed 82dB alarm or the self adjusting version?
Should I get this fixed 82dB alarm or the self adjusting version?
Choose this one if the vehicle works in a reasonably consistent environment, because a fixed output is simpler and cheaper. If it moves between quiet residential streets and loud sites, or you have had noise complaints, the self adjusting SA-BBS-97 reads the surrounding noise and sets itself 5 to 10dB above it, anywhere from 77dB to 97dB, so it is never louder than the job needs.
Can I use it for night works and early morning deliveries?
Can I use it for night works and early morning deliveries?
The BBS-82 is NAS/PIEK approved for night-time delivery, which is a European low-noise certification, and it is the only model in the Brigade medium-duty range that carries it. Australia has no equivalent scheme, and night works noise limits here are set by the relevant council or road authority, so check the conditions that apply to your job rather than relying on the approval on its own.
Will it run on a 24V vehicle?
Will it run on a 24V vehicle?
Yes. It runs on both 12V and 24V systems, with an operating range of 9 to 32V.
How loud is it?
How loud is it?
82dB plus or minus 4, measured at 1.2m from the alarm and 1.2m above the ground, which is the test condition set out in SAE J994. You will often see reversing alarms quoted at 1 metre instead, so compare the test distance as well as the number.
Can I install this myself?
Can I install this myself?
It mounts on a bottom or rear surface bracket, but wiring it into your vehicle's electrical system should be carried out by a suitably competent person or auto electrician. It wires to the fused positive reversing lamp circuit, with the earth to clean unpainted metal.
Is it waterproof?
Is it waterproof?
Yes. It's IP68 sealed and epoxy filled against mud, water and vibration, rated to 10G mechanical resistance, and it can be steam and pressure cleaned.
