Signal beacons are fundamental elements in manufacturing processes for the visual and audible signalling of the system status.
LOVATO Electric offers a complete range of products and accessories capable of providing custom-made signal beacons for each manufacturing station.
Steady light modules
Steady or blinking light modules
Pulsed or continuous sound and steady or blinking light modules.
Fixing bases and extensions.
The assembly operation of the signal beacons is simple and fast and does not require the use of any tools. The fixing is obtained by the bayonet insert joint, with slight pressure and simple rotating movement.
General characteristics:
Maximum operational voltage: 250VAC
Consumption for LB6...S2... sound module: 150mA
Connections: Screw clamp terminals, maximum 1.5 mm2 conductor section
Operating temperature: -20°C…+40°C
Degree of protection: IP54; IP30 if used with LB6 BP 04, LB6 BP 06, LB6 BP 08 bases
Material: Polycarbonate.
Interpretation of light and sound modules
Light and sound signals are a fundamental element for the safety of a system.
To avoid incorrect interpretations, harmonised international and European standards have been introduced defining an unequivocal 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 IEC 60073 and EN981//EN 60073 standards.
The white coloured module does not have a specific meaning so it can be used as one may need.
