BExCS110-L2 Explosion Proof Alarm Horn & LED Beacon

The flameproof BExCS110-L2 combination alarm horn sounder and LED beacon is suitable for Zone 1, 2, 21 & 22. Approved to IECEx and ATEX standards.

The BExCS110-L2 features sound level ouputs of up to 117dB(A) at 1 metre with a choice of 32 alarm tones and 3 remotely selectable stages. The LED beacon contains an array of 4 high output, multi-function L.E.D.s. with a total of 7 modes of operation - 5 flashing modes and 2 steady modes for use in indicator / status applications. DC voltage versions feature three remotely selectable stages enabling multiple warnings to be signalled from one device. 
The BEx range features enclosures manufactured from corrosion proof, marine grade copper free LM6 aluminium with a chromate and powder coat finish. All models have two M20 cable entries, large termination areas containing in & out terminals and an ingress protection of IP66/67.
