Sounder mimics traditional mechanical horns
Sophisticated electronic circuitry and matching piezo driver combine to produce a very effective sound that mimics that of the traditional design.
Sounder and beacon are intrinsically safe
A new intrinsically safe sounder and strobe family combines a 100dB(A) sounder and beacon that uses an array of six high intensity LEDs.
The LED option gives longer operational life and lower life costs than a traditional filament lamp, which is particularly important for continuous use or where access or maintenance is difficult.
The low-voltage DC LED version has a choice of nine user-selectable modes giving continuous, flashing, rotating, double-strike and alternate side flash modes.
Up to three stages of alarm can be selected through the appropriate wiring connections.
The B300 has a dual-frequency option where a flash rate of 1 or 2Hz can be selected remotely through the wiring configuration to provide two stages of warning.
The Xenon strobe B300 and B400 models are optionally available in synchronised versions, so that all devices on the same power supply circuit flash in unison, a particular benefit in fire alarm applications.
Primarily intended for surface mounting, pole and wall mounting options are available to make installation neat and easy.
All units have a choice of cable entries for ease of wiring.
Manufactured from UV stabilised polycarbonate, Spectra beacons will not fade when exposed to direct sunlight and are protected to IP65, making them suitable for outdoor applications.
