MEDC XB4 Hazardous Area Beacons
MEDC XB4 | ATEX BEACONS
ZONE 1 & ZONE 2 HAZARDOUS AREAS
MEDC XB4 are ATEX beacons that have a high output of 21 Joule, specifically designed for use in potentially explosive atmospheres and harsh environmental conditions in ATEX & IECEx Zone 1 and Zone 2 hazardous areas.
The marine grade alloy or stainless steel enclosures of the ATEX beacons are suitable for use offshore or onshore, where lightweight combined with corrosion resistance and strength is required, and can be ordered from Thorne & Derrick with MEDC call points for integration into fire detection systems in the explosive atmosphere industries.
The high output hazardous area Xenon beacon, with explosion protection concept Ex d, can be painted to customers specification and supplied with identification labels.
The MEDC XB4 is available with optional Exe terminal chamber.
Contact Thorne & Derrick for customer service, competitive quotations and availability from stock for the MEDC range of sounders, including MEDC XB4, for safe use in hazardous areas with explosive atmospheres.
