WERMA Flashing Red LED Beacon, 115 to 230V AC, ATEX - WM 729 EX Series - 729.150.68
Instantly alert operators to hazardous conditions with this flashing red beacon from WERMA. It emits an intense, double-flashing light that's clearly visible in most lighting conditions. An energy-efficient LED (light-emitting diode) lamp keeps power consumption low and offers an extended lifespan of up to 50,000 hours. The beacon's lens is made from borosilicate glass for superior resistance to thermal shock. This makes it ideal for environments where extreme temperature fluctuations may occur. A strong steel mounting bracket is supplied with this beacon for simple, secure installation.
Features & Benefits
• ATEX (ATmosphères EXplosibles) approved for use in areas where explosive atmospheres may be present • IP65 (ingress protection) rating indicates protection against dust and low-pressure water jets • Wide operating temperature range of -40°C to +50°C for use in demanding environments • Aluminium-coated housing that's resistant to saltwater for added corrosion protection
Applications
• Marine and offshore industries • Petrochemical industry • Mining and quarrying
When should I choose a beacon with a lens made of borosilicate glass?
Borosilicate glass is a special type of glass containing silica and boron trioxide. In addition to providing good thermal shock resistance, these materials ensure enhanced optical clarity and durability to prevent shattering in harsh environments.
