Improved warning signal beacons from E2S
E2S upgrade signal beacons with super-bright outputs and additional configuration options
E2S Warning Signals are committed to a programme of continuous product improvements in response to technology advances, regulatory changes and customer feedback. The latest products to be upgraded are their B350TLA traffic light warning signal beacons featuring a compact 100mm x 140mm housing for use in space-constrained applications or for mounting directly on to machinery. The company’s larger 140mm x 177mm B450TLA units have also been upgraded.
The light engine for both products is an array of 18 high-output white LEDs, which give super-bright outputs up to 356 Candela, whilst the ultrasonic welded diffused lens determine the output light colour. Amber, blue, clear, green, red, and yellow are standard, allowing on-site reconfiguration of colours and greater flexibility in inventory management. There are now seven flash patterns, including a temporal pattern for greater effectiveness, in addition to a steady output for status indication.
The included connector allows multiple units to be assembled into stacks, whilst dual pluggable terminals simplify cable installation for looped installations. The operating voltage ranges are 10–14VDC/16–33VDC and 48–260VAC/DC. The 1Hz flash operating current is only 88mA at 24VDC and the operating temperature is –40°C to +70°C.
Also upgraded with the latest 18 white LED array light source are the STA and STB families of customizable stack signals, which are UL approved for general signalling applications such as status indication, security and process control. The STA stacks have a SONF1 compact 100dB(A) alarm horn sounder to give an integrated audible/visual unit, whilst the STB family are beacon-only arrays.
Both versions are available with two, three or four units in a stack array which are terminated in a common junction box via a factory-fitted internal wiring loom to give a single external interconnect point. The UV stable PC lenses are available in amber, blue, clear, green, magenta, red and yellow.
