MEDC SL15 | Hazardous Area Status Light | ATEX Status Lights Zone 1 & Zone 2 Weatherproof Ex d

Eaton MEDC SL15 are ATEX status lights have been designed for use in potentially explosive atmospheres and harsh environmental conditions in ATEX & IECEx Zone 1 and Zone 2 hazardous areas. The hazardous area status lights are suitable for use offshore or onshore, where a high degree of corrosion resistance is required.

The housings are manufactured from a UV stable, glass reinforced polyester (GRP) fitted to a stainless steel mounting plate for ease of installation. Stainless steel fixings are also used, ensuring a corrosion free product.

The weatherproof ATEX status light, with explosion protection concept Ex d, can be painted to customers specification and supplied with identification labels. The lights are also close-coupled and pre-wired to customer’s requirements.

Available as xenon and filament ATEX beacons – the SL15 range of hazardous area status lights are manufactured in corrosion free GRP.

The enclosures are suitable for use offshore or onshore where light weight combined with corrosion resistance is required and can be ordered from Thorne & Derrick with MEDC call points for integration into fire detection systems in the explosive atmosphere industries.

ATEX status lights can be supplied as 2, 3 or 4 way in any combination of xenon beacon, LED beacon or filament lamp.

Contact Thorne & Derrick for customer service, competitive quotations and availability from stock for the MEDC range of status lights, including MEDC SL15, for safe use in hazardous areas with explosive atmospheres.
