Signal towers are fundamental
elements in manufacturing processes for the
visual and audible signalling of the system status.

capable of providing custom-made signal towers for each manufacturing
station.

following sequence, starting from the top: red, yellow, orange,
blue, green and white with a simple and
quick operation.
The sound module must always be positioned at the top of the signal
tower.

Interpretation of
light and sound signals Light and sound signals are a fundamental
element for the safety of a system.
To avoid incorrect interpretations, an European standard has been introduced
defining an equivocal meaning to visual or audible signalling
devices.
Each colour or sound alarm corresponds to a specific state of operation
of the connected system and various levels of warning, as given
in the following table, according to EN 981/EN 60073 standards.
The white coloured module does not have a specific meaning so it can
be used as one may need.
