Modular signal towers for internal and external use Released 4 January 2002 The new BR 50 modular signal tower range from Pfannenberg UK is available sealed to IP54 for interior use or IP65 for use both inside and outside the factory. The towers are simple to configure; up to five 50mm diameter circular modules can be assembled together with a simple bayonet fixing. Anti-shock and vibration mountings are built in to each module to ensure stability in even the most demanding of environments. Visual modules are available in six alternative lens colours and with a choice light sources: users can specify either a 7W filament bulb with continuous or blinking duty cycle and a 0.6 Joule Xenon strobe source is also available. The filament bulbs can be replaced with high intensity LED arrays which, in addition to lasting some fifty times longer than a bulb, lower the current consumption so that the units can be directly powered from Asi or PLC circuits without needing an external power supply. The LED arrays are a direct plug-in replacement for filament bulbs: they have a standard BA 15 d bayonet connector, enabling them to be retrofitted to existing units if required. An acoustic module with an 85dB(A) @ 1 metre output is also available to provide an audible reinforcement of the visual indications from the tower. The towers can be directly mounted to the protected equipment or they can be attached to a stand or tube. Operating voltages are 24VDC and 115 and 230VAC. *** Ends: 239 words *** Notes to Editors.
