For years public building fire alarm installers have met both technical and user perception obstacles when applying visual alarms. D.G. Controls has overcome pressure group fears, and concerns of epileptic attacks perceived as possible by the use of Xenon strobe beacon lamps in fire alarm and evacuation systems. Conventional rotating mirror beacons, whilst a preferred alternative, caused the installer expensive powering problems.
The RFL rotating flashing beacon lamp, however, incorporates a high intensity halogen lamp and motor driven revolving reflector, and offers low current draws (below 1 A at 24 V d.c.) bringing it well within the scope of most fire alarm panel power supply units.
A range of installation accessories is available, including protective cage guard and wall mounting brackets. The beacon has a weatherproof injection-moulded housing, with polycarbonate freznel dome lens enhancing light transmission. Fitted with a red lens for fire installations, four other ex-stock lens colours are available.
