The modular assembly method means that a maximum of seven components are required to build signal towers from one to five colours, with or without alarm.
This makes for easier ordering, reduced stockholding and better availability.
Up to five lens modules in red, yellow, green, blue and white can be fixed to a base unit in any sequence.
There are no bolts.
The lens elements are simply located into position, then twisted by hand to lock.
It is easy to dismantle the tower and rebuild in a different sequence, a process taking only a few seconds - the wiring connections to the base unit do not change.
Each lens module uses LEDs for extra brightness and long life.
Connections between the modules are made by Patlite's contact design, improved for reliability.
Colour coded connections in the base unit correspond to lens colour and use easy-to-use push fit terminals.
Low power consumption, typically under 52mA, is another advantage of the LED technology.
Options include mounting poles, brackets and base modules with an 85dB buzzer alarm with two selectable tones.
These signal towers are CE and UL compliant, have a lead free construction and are IP65 rated. Request a free brochure from Lenze ...
