Eaton's range of addressable EN 54-23 certified visual alarm devices (VAD's) brings its patented lens technology to its addressable fire systems for the first time.
Featuring an ultra-low current draw, the range provides clear signalling in the event of an emergency providing the ultimate balance between cost and safety. Based on the successful LX range, the range boasts an impressively durable design that you can rely on.
Across the range are a number of options to meet the demands of the application you are designing for including: indoor or outdoor including an IP66 option; wall or ceiling mounted and standalone or VAD sounder combination options.
Built on the first generation of Visual Alarm Device's (VAD's), Eaton's brings its unique lens technology to its addressable fire alarm system range.
The patented design works on an innovative cylindrical output that achieves the correct level of illumination while keeping power consumption as low as possible.
The breadth of the range that we now offer is what sets us apart in this industry and we are pleased to be at the forefront of innovation in this market. By combining high performance with energy efficiency, we are helping our customers overcome their toughest challenges.
Two types of fire alarm beacon are acceptable as a visual alarm device: Xenon & LED. EN54-23 specifies that whatever the position of the individual in relation to the VAD, the occupant must see the flash off surfaces.
For complete coverage of the industrial example shown the following will be required:
12 Traditional Xenon Beacons or 1 LED beacon
to achieve the required 04 lux in the area of coverage.
It's not only in coverage where LED comes out on top. LED outlasts Xenon with up to 50,000 (70 months) continuously flashing compared to 14,000 hours (2 months) and it requires a much smaller enclosure due to its lower heat output.
