E2S, Europe's leading manufacturer of warning sounders and beacons, has developed the Spectra beacon family to extend its industrial range of audible and visual signalling devices. Available in three sizes, six lens colours and a choice of static, flashing filament, Xenon strobe, rotating  or  LED versions, Spectra offers a solution for all situations including safety warning, status indication and fire alarm.

The LED option gives longer operational life and lower life costs than a traditional filament lamp, particularly important for continuous use or where access or maintenance is difficult. The low voltage DC LED version has a choice of nine user-selectable modes giving continuous, flashing, rotating, double strike and alternate side flash modes; up to three stages of alarm can be selected through the appropriate wiring connections. The B300 has a dual frequency option where a flash rate of 1Hz or 2Hz can be selected remotely through the wiring configuration to provide two stages of warning. The Xenon strobe B300 and B400 models are optionally available in synchronised versions, so that all devices on the same power supply circuit flash in unison, a particular benefit in fire alarm applications.

Primarily intended for surface mounting, pole and wall mounting options are available to make installation neat and easy. All units have a choice of cable entries for ease of wiring. Manufactured from UV stabilised polycarbonate, Spectra beacons will not fade when exposed to direct sunlight and are protected to IP65, making them suitable for outdoor applications.
