Function
Product Series YL6S is designed to provide both an audible and visual alarm which can be used to alert, warn or draw attention to machine malfunction/start up or any number of safety related issues. The audible and visual signals can be operated independently or as a combination unit. Corrosion resistance is a key feature of the device which is ideally suited for applications in the harshest of environments both onshore and offshore. The optical element of the device must be regarded as a supplementary alarm indicator when used for alerting/evacuating the occupants of the buildings/structures.

In hazardous areas the devices have explosion protection for ATEX/IECEx Zones 1 & 2 for gas and 21 & 22 for dust. Gas groups covered are IIB & IIC, dust protection for IIIC.

  • The device is not intended for continuos use.
  • The life of the xenon flash tube is guaranteed for the following number of flashes:
    Variant| Number of flashes
    ---|---
    5 J| 2 million
