The bell is:
  • electrical,
  • an actuator,
  • not a solenoid, and
  • doing work.

There was no prohibition against electric actuators in 2010, except that motors other than those listed were illegal, and solenoid actuators were illegal. Think of it as a custom circuit. (It must still comply with all other rules.)

(The 2012 rules are somewhat different, as noted above.)
