The sounders have three alarm stages, have synchronized outputs up to 117dB(A) and provide 45 international tones. The 5 and 10 Joule Xenon beacons are available with a choice of six lens colours and feature user-replaceable plug in Xenon tube modules. The PA loudspeaker versions have 15 Watt RMS outputs, generating sound levels of up to 118dB(A) with an operating frequency range of 400 to 8000Hz. [0]The E2xCS combined 110dB(A) sounder and 5 Joule Xenon beacon units provide efficient and cost-effective audio-visual signalling in a single product.
