Hot, humid and dusty or just cold and dirty, the environment can take its toll on your equipment and that includes your industrial sounders and beacons. If you are specifying industrial sounder beacons for a harsh environment, it’s vital that your signalling devices are robust enough to cope with the conditions.
Sounders and sounder beacons provide critical communications that reduce unplanned downtime and prevent damage to your plant or even human injury or fatality. It pays to get the specification right and find a solution that protects both your equipment and your people.
Rated IP69K, the X10 range is designed to offer the highest level of protection against dust and dirt and water ingress not just after installation, but for years to come. It is the detail that matters and X10 features:
Whether you need a sounder beacon for a cement works, quarry or mine or for an exposed coastal region, you can be confident that X10 will carry on working. It is why it is one of the few sounder beacons available to have a 10-year warranty, where-ever it is installed.
Sunlight can damage your industrial sounder, the plastic becomes brittle and the housing can fail. If it’s located in a remote or difficult to reach area, it can be expensive and time-consuming to replace.
Harsh, bright sunlight can also bleach a sounder making it unattractive and because they act as signalling devices they are generally in a prominent position and very visible. If it is bleached or discoloured then this could create a bad impression of your organisation.
The X10 range offers you four sounder colours to choose from so that it fits with its environment. Manufactured from ASA polycarbonate, the X10 range has undergone a 10-year simulation test conducted by an independent third party to demonstrates its resistance to fading.
If you need to use sounders or sounder beacons outside, then make sure that you specify a range that can withstand the onslaught of U.V. light.
Hazardous environments present a unique set of challenges and there are many instances where you will need to specify ATEX intrinsically safe equipment including industrial visual and audible alarms. These devices need to be engineered to meet the needs of ATEX classified areas.
However, ATEX specification comes at a cost. With a good understanding of the requirement blueprint, it is possible to identify non-explosive areas where you still need robust warning devices but can find savings by not over-engineering solutions for these areas.
X10 offers you the largest range of voltage, sound output, flash or tone combinations currently available. If you have an eye on your inventory costs, the flexibility of the beacon system means you can hold minimal stocks with maximum flexibility.
Swap out a beacon in under 30 seconds
Unlike most sounder beacons, X10 has a modular construction. If damaged, the sounder beacon is quickly replaced, which with its spring contacts can be done in under 30 seconds - click on the video link below to see how.
