Selected User Reviews For ECCO 510 Backup Alarm
In the fall of 2012, I purchased this on Amazon. It only lasted a little more than three years. When I opened it up, I discovered that water had gotten into the wiring leading through the epoxy block and corroded the copper wire; normally, this would receive a 1 or no star, but I suppose 3 years gets a star for each good year it worked. The terminals and nuts rust quickly - br>br> ferrous metal of poor quality. After you've connected everything, give it a good squirt of something to keep it from corroding.
These ECCO 510 Backup Alarms are knockoffs made in China. The first batch I purchased was accurate, but the second batch was not.
The beep is nice and loud for use in Manhattan, NY with the 2012 Ford Transit panel van after I put silicone grease on the terminals to prevent corrosion. After four years of use, this alarm replaced an identical previous one. When compared to the cost of a potentially preventable accident, the alarm is a bargain.

On the boat, I used this alarm as a bilge high water alarm, which was connected to a Rule float switch. I test it on a regular basis, along with the bilge pumps, and it sounds and performs as it should.
For heavy machinery, this is a fantastic alarm. It's loud enough to be heard over equipment noises while also being durable enough to withstand a working environment. This is an excellent item!.
