As well as multiple operating modes the LED units offer extended operating life of more than 60,000 hours, lower current requirements and higher output levels.
The typical light output level from the LED units is a very bright 338 candela, significantly higher than the 120 candela effective intensity of a 5J Xenon tube unit.
The LED beacons have five flash rates for warning beacon applications: 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0Hz and double and triple flashes.
They also offer high and low steady outputs for status indicator use. DC voltage versions feature three remotely selectable stages, enabling multiple warnings to be signalled from one device.
The same light engines and control electronics are common across all different product families: the STEx316L stainless steel, the GNEx and E2xGRP and BEx and D2x marine grade LM6 aluminium enclosures, which provide a variety of mechanical protection, corrosion resistance, weight and price to suit different environmental requirements and applications.
For all families, the Amber, Blue, Clear, Green, Magenta, Red and Yellow Polycarbonate, UV stable lenses are available as separate items; while enhancing the light output, the lens filters are also field replaceable without disassembly, enabling the reassignment of beacon function to be a simple and quick process.
Also on show will be two manual call point families, the latest additions to E2S’s SIL2 capable products that meet the remote monitoring and testing requirements of SIL2 systems.
The spark-resistant, corrosion proof GRP GNExCP6 and the marine grade, copper free LM6 (A413) aluminium BExCP3explosion proof manual call points, which meet the design requirements of EN54-11, are available in break glass, push button or tool reset versions, are certified to ATEX and IECEx standards, carry many other local certifications and are approved for use in Zone 1, 2, 21 and 22 hazardous areas for the initiation of fire and gas alarm systems.
