Bulb/lamp type
Illuminated units with steady or flashing circuit : BA 15d base fitting bulbs, minimum power 5 W,
maximum power 7 W.
Illuminated units with high intensity “flash” lamp (integral xenon tube) : 13.6 cds with clear lens.
Audible signalling unit
Terminal referencing
90 db at 1 m, continuous or intermittent. Fundamental frequency : 3 kHz
1 terminal referenced “O” (–) common to all 5 possible stacked units, other terminals referenced 1 to 5,
for use as required.
Cabling
Capacity : 2 x 2.5 mm2 max.
Illuminated beacons and illuminated indicator banks are visual or audible signalling units used mainly to
indicate machine operation sequences and to check status from a distance. They are visible through 360°.
Example : start, stop machine, no material, call technical staff, fault indication, etc.
i Illuminated beacon
Pre-assembled with a single illuminating signalling unit : either steady, flashing or with high intensity
xenon flash lamp :
- optional accessory : anodised aluminium support tube ; 100 mm, 400 mm or 800 mm long,
- optional accessory : support plate.
i Illuminated indicator bank
For assembly by the user, with up to 5 illuminated or 4 illuminated + 1 audible signalling units.
It comprises :
- a base, incorporating terminal block, cable clamp and support tube fixings,
- 1 to 5 coloured lens units (green, red, orange, blue or clear) or 4 coloured lens units + 1 audible
signalling units,
- a top cover, where necessary,
- optional accessory : anodised aluminium support tube ; 100 mm, 400 mm or 800 mm long,
- optional accessory : support plate.
The illuminated lens or audible signalling units stack vertically and are each locked by a single screw.
Electrical connections between each unit are made automatically during assembly.

i Fixing
Base fitted directly onto panel by means of 2 screws.
Fixed onto panel using support plate (4 fixing screws) and 100 mm, 400 mm or 800 mm anodised
aluminium tube.
i Cabling
Internal connections are brought out to a terminal block, with protected screw and captive cable clamp
terminals, incorporated in the base unit.
