What Sets FIAMM Back Up Alarms Apart
FIAMM Group, a private company founded in 1942 and headquartered in Montecchio Maggiore, Italy, is recognized as the largest horn manufacturer in the world — a heritage that directly informs the quality and precision engineered into every back up alarm they produce.

A Range Built for Different Applications
FIAMM's back up alarm lineup covers a practical spectrum of sound levels and voltage ranges to match a wide variety of vehicle and equipment types:
- The FIAMM 5600022 operates across a wide 12–48V range and produces 97 dB of output , making it a versatile fit for both light-duty and heavier commercial applications.
- Higher-output models such as the 107 dB, 12–24V units meet SAE J994 Type B, DOT, and CE specifications, feature reverse polarity protection, and are housed in glass-filled nylon for durability, backed by a 1-year warranty.
- For environments with fluctuating ambient noise levels, FIAMM also offers a "Smart" alarm that automatically adjusts its output to maintain a minimum of ten decibels above surrounding noise — reducing unnecessary complaints about excess sound while ensuring the alarm is always heard when it matters.

A simple two-wire connection means FIAMM back up alarms can be installed quickly without specialized tools or complex wiring, making them ideal for fleet managers, shop technicians, and serious DIYers alike. Steam cleanability, polarity protection, and compact sizing further reduce maintenance headaches over the life of the alarm.
