Communications isolator makes displays safer
The new BA201 communications isolator has RS232 and RS485 safe area ports enabling multidrop display systems to be constructed.
This new BA386 beacon may be used alone, or in conjunction with a Beka intrinsically safe sounder.
The high efficiency of the BA386 enables the beacon and the sounder to be powered from the same Zener barrier or galvanic isolator, thus further reducing purchase and installation costs.
The beacon incorporates an alarm accept function enabling an operator to silence the associated sounder for a preset time by operating an external push-button, but leave the beacon flashing.
If the alarm is not cleared, the sounder will be reactivated at the end of the silence time.
The sounder silence time may be pre-set for between 1 and 30min by an internal control. Request a free brochure from Beka associates ...
