Flashni 

A compact combination of a high output sounder and beacon for areas requiring both audible and visual indication of alarms, ideal for use in elderly peoples dwellings or noisy manufacturing areas.

Common connection terminals saves installation time while the use of universal bases allows the units to replace Roshnis if building requirements change.

 

Xenon Beacons

Xenon Beacons 

The XL range has been developed as a high output range of xenon beacons for industrial, commercial and other general purpose alarm situations, where reliability and performance are paramount.

The xenon tube produces a massive 10 joule output which is concentrated by a further 20% by the use of a carefully designed dioptic lens.

With a choice of single or double flash operation the XL range offers reliable, high output performance with a minimum power requirement.

XL, like the matching RL range, shares the same versatile options for lenses and mounting accessories.

(Note: if used on electrically propelled vehicles an EDV regulator is essential)

Intelligent Xenon Beacons 

Offering maximum efficiency and reliability these beacons are suitable for a wide range of fire, security and industrial applications particularly where high noise levels or ear defenders might affect the audibility of sounders alone.

The unique feature of the range is the suppression of current surge at switch-on for the 1W & 2W versions and active current management and selectable flash rate for the 5W variant. Control of current surge alleviates the associated problems of fuse failures, relay contact damage and high power supply ratings.

Additional features include a constant flash rate and stable flash intensity over their specified voltage range.

Approved versions to VdS requirements.

 

Solista Beacon - SB1

Hochiki CHQ-AB Addressable Beacon

Hochiki's newest addition to the ESP® range is the CHQ-AB Addressable Beacon.

The CHQ-AB is loop-powered and is fully compatible with Hochiki's ESP® range of Bases. 

The innovative high-intensity LEDs and lens design produces a highly visible flash whilst the casing exactly matches the Hochiki ESP® Sensor range in shape and colour providing seamless integration.  The CHQ-AB can be used on the existing Standard ESP® Base (YBN-R/3), Base Sounder (CHQ-BS) and the Short-Circuit Isolator Base (YBO-R/SCI).

Key Benefits:

bulletHigh Intensity LED technology
bulletLow current consumption
bullet1Hz flash frequency
bulletAddressable via Hand Held Programmer (TCH-B100)
bulletUp to 127 devices per loop

 

Apollo XP95 Loop Powered Beacon

Apollo's Loop-Powered Beacon has been developed as a supplement to sounders for use in situations where there is a risk that sounders may not be heard. These include:

bulletwhere there is a risk that sounders will not be heard due to, for example, high background noise
bulletwhere the occupants are deaf or hard of hearing

It can also be used in enviroments where a 'staff alarm' is preferable, for example in hospitals, or where sounders are undesirable, such as in TV or radio stations or in cinemas.

The beacon:

bulletis designed for indoor use
bulletis lockable, like a detector
bullethas a wide angle of visibility
bulletis loop-powered
bullethas a low current consumption - just 3mA
bulletuses LEDs
bulletcomplies with BS5839-1: 2002

The beacon can be connected to detection systems using XP95 or Discovery detectors. However, the features of the beacon are only available when it is connected to a control panel with the appropriate software.

The beacon is fitted to any XP95 or Discovery base and would normally be wall mounted. Alternatively it can be used in combination with Apollo sounders. If the beacon is fitted to an Apollo Ancillary Base Sounder, the sounder will be controlled by the beacon; if it used with an Intelligent Base Sounder, the beacon is fitted to a mounting base which in turn is fitted to the Intelligent Base Sounder. By doing this, the devices can be controlled separately. The beacons can be synchronised with each other and with Apollo sounders.
Up to 20 beacons may be fitted between standard XP95 isolators or isolating bases. A loop loading calcuation should be made in order to determine the exact number in a loop. A loop calculation programme is available as a free download from this site. Please click here for more details.

 

Vantage Beacon

Using the latest developments in surface mount LED technology, the new Vantage beacon is big on light output but small on power requirements.

The Vantage beacon is ideal for applications requiring an additional light output, and is particularly useful for installing into existing alarm systems, as its low power requirement means that system designers need not contend with the usual problems of additional power supplies.

Low current also reduces the need for additional battery back-up when larger numbers of beacons are required.The Vantage beacon is available with a number of different lens colours, including red, blue, clear and amber.

Installation is via a 6-way 45 degree terminal block situated on the underside of the beacon, resulting in a clean and rapid installation utilising either of the Vantage mounting base options.

Quick fit installation is achieved by the bayonet fixing arrangement on both types of mounting base, which includes a locking feature.

Vantage-Combi Sounder/Beacon

An innovative approach to design means light output from the Vantage-Combi is efficiently produced via a new low current LED cluster.

Vantage-Combi is ideal for applications requiring an additional light output eg sheltered accommodation, hospitals and airports.

Synchronisation of light output is standard, as is the option to operate the Vantage-Combi as a flasher/beacon only.

Low current reduces the need for additional battery back-up when larger numbers of combination sounder beacons are required. The Vantage-Combi is available either in a red or white body with lens options of red, amber, clear and blue.

Tone and volume selection on Vantage-Combi is via a four-way DIL switch.The Vantage also offers two mounting base options. The first is a shallow base with easy access through into the main sounder body, reducing installation time.

Vantage-Combi Sounder Beacons utilises the Vantage mounting base system and may be locked in place if required.
