MEDC XB13 | Hazardous Area Beacon | ATEX Beacons Zone 1 & Zone 2 Beacons 10 Joule
MEDC XB13 Hazardous Area Beacons
MEDC XB13 | ATEX BEACONS
ZONE 1 & ZONE 2 HAZARDOUS AREAS
MEDC XB13 are listed beacons designed for use in potentially explosive atmospheres and harsh environmental conditions. The enclosures are suitable for use offshore or onshore, where lightweight 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.
The housing is manufactured from a UV stable, glass reinforced polyester, with the lens manufactured from a UV stable polycarbonate. Stainless steel screws are used ensuring a totally corrosion-free product.
The XB13 beacons are a range of ruggedized, weatherproof beacons, which have been designed with high ingress protection to cope with harsh environmental conditions.
The MEDC XB13 beacons can be painted to customer specification and supplied with identification labels.
Contact Thorne & Derrick for customer service, competitive quotations and availability from stock for the MEDC range of sounders, including MEDC XB13, for safe use in hazardous areas with explosive atmospheres.
