MEDC XB9 | ATEX BEACONS
ZONE 1 & ZONE 2 HAZARDOUS AREAS
MEDC XB9 are ATEX beacons that have been designed for use in potentially explosive atmospheres and harsh environmental conditions in ATEX & IECEx Zone 1 and Zone 2 hazardous areas.
The housing of the ATEX beacon is manufactured completely from a UV stable glass reinforced polyester which is ideally suited for use offshore and onshore, and can be ordered from Thorne & Derrick with MEDC call points for integration into fire detection systems in the explosive atmosphere industries.
Stainless Steel screws and mounting bracket are incorporated ensuring a totally corrosion free unit.
The high output hazardous area Xenon beacon, with explosion protection concept Ex d, can be painted to customers specification and supplied with identification labels.
