140dB(A) Wide Area Sounder exceeds pain threshold
E2S, the specialist manufacturer of high output audible and visual warning indicators, offers electronic sounders rated at 140dB(A) at 1m for use as wide area warning devices.
Emergency warning system for Wembley Arena
E2S and PACSCOM joined forces to supply John Sisk with a radio-based audible warning system to give open area protection on the Wembley Arena construction site.
All versions are of cylindrical construction measuring 88mm in diameter.
The IS-minialarm sounder has 49 user-selectable three-stage alarm tone configurations with an output of 100dB(A) @1m; a 4MHz clock ensures that the outputs from all sounders on a loop are synchronised.
The IS-minialite beacon uses an array of ultra bright Amber, Red, Blue or Green LEDs to produce a selectable 1Hz or 2Hz flashing warning signal, giving a far brighter and more noticeable visual warning than traditional Xenon tube beacon alternatives in a hazardous area.
Advanced electronics and an acoustically efficient folded horn design means that the combined unit can be powered though a single Zener barrier or galvanic isolator.
Low current draw and high output make the units particularly applicable for use in fire systems installed in hazardous areas and for integration into process control equipment in a wide variety of manufacturing industries.
Third party testing to the relevant EN54 Standard and Ex approval to EN50020:2002 for use in Zone 0, 1 and 2 Gas Group IIC environments is underway.
The design features a common base fitted with two 20mm cable entry knockouts; the device itself is fitted to the base using a bayonet latch mechanism and a separate security screw.
Connection to the control panel is via a flying lead through the base unit directly into the device.
