MEDC XB16 Hazardous Area Beacons
MEDC XB16 | ATEX BEACONS
ZONE 1 & ZONE 2 HAZARDOUS AREAS
MEDC XB16 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 model XB16 contains supervisory diode and four wire leads for fire alarm applications. This beacon is also available UL 1971 (ADA) listed for hearing impaired applications.
The MEDC XB16 beacons can be painted to customer specification and supplied with identification labels and conforms to UL standard or regulated voltage (UL 1971 version available with clear lens only).
Contact Thorne & Derrick for customer service, competitive quotations and availability from stock for the MEDC range of sounders, including MEDC XB16, for safe use in hazardous areas with explosive atmospheres.
