In addition to the ATEX LED beacon

As the ATEX FT729 LED beacon is not fitted with an audible signal, it may be necessary to supplement this light device with an ATEX electronic siren or an ATEX sound and light combination.

ATEX DB3 electronic siren
Waterproof, dustproof and fire resistant, the ATEX DB3 electronic siren – made from reinforced polyester – is particularly well suited for the harsh use conditions generally observed in oil & gas, chemical, petrochemical, marine and all offshore applications. ATEX combined sound and light device
In the same quality and performance range, the CU1 ATEX zone 1, 2, 21 & 22 certified CU1 sound and light handset is particularly suitable for industrial environments where the visual signal complements the sound signal. It is also suitable for use in very harsh applications and environments.
