To ALERT, INSTRUCT, or INFORM people, beacon lights and sounders are essential where visual or audible warning signals are needed. Operating in various different industries/sectors and on many different applications. We have compiled a list of typical application usages in the most common industries:
β INDUSTRIAL AUTOMATIONβ
Commonly, tower lights will be used in this field. Perfect for a quick indication on machinery in use:
RED – SIGNALS A FAULT
AMBER – SIGNALS HELP REQUIRED
GREEN – SIGNALS RUNNING
Examples of applications in this sector include:
Β· π PROCESS CONTROL ALERTS π¨
Β· π₯ ASSEMBLY LINE SIGNALLING π₯
Β· ποΈ MACHINE STATUS INDICATION π
Β· π‘οΈ OVER-TEMPERATURE/OVER-PRESSURE WARNINGS β οΈ
βTRAFFIC MANAGEMENT β
Covering a wide area, from road traffic management to loading bays and barriers. Whether out on the road or on your daily commute, you will most likely come across Red/Amber/Green traffic light systems, lights at level crossings, and lights on car park barriers.
In this sector, some examples include:
Β· π EMERGENCY VEHICLES π
Β· π LOADING BAY SIGNAL SYSTEMS π
Β· π§ BARRIER/GATE ENTRY WARNINGS β
Β· π¦ ROAD TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT & PEDESTRIAN CROSSING SYSTEMS π¦
β WAREHOUSING β
Xenon flash beacons are often found in warehousing. This is because they are effective with a sharp, clear, burst of warning light, providing visibility for some distance.
Examples of applications in this sector include:
Β· π FORKLIFT TRUCK π
Β· πΏ SPILLAGE WARNING π
Β· π£ EVACUATION SIGNAL β οΈ
Β· π¨ ALARM SYSTEMS FOR FIRE AND INTRUDER π₯
β PUBLIC BUILDINGS β
Buildings that are classified as public buildings: Hospitals, shopping centres, schools, airports etc, feature similar visual/audible alerts and instructions. They often have lights above doors, indicating occupied/free, and use audible signalling.
Examples of applications in this sector are much the same as the warehousing sector. On a much bigger scale, however:
Β· π₯ FIRE ALARM SYSTEMS π¨
Β· πββοΈββ‘οΈ EVACUATION SIGNALπ©βπ
Β· β LIGHTS ABOVE DOORS INDICATING VACANT/OCCUPIED π«
Β· π« ELECTRONIC BELLS IN SCHOOLS FOR BREAK SIGNALLING π
β HARSH & HAZARDOUS ENVIRONMENTSβ
To ensure the safety of anyone in the area, warning lights and signals are required. This is because areas can be dangerous, and without such alerts it could be detrimental to health and safety.
Examples of applications include:
Β· βοΈ MINING OPERATIONS βοΈ
Β· π OFFSHIRE OPERATIONS ποΈ
Β· π₯ EXPLOSIVE AREAS I.E. OIL REFINERIES π’οΈ
Β· π’ SHIP/MARINE HAZARDS I.E. BAD WEATHER, ENGINE ROOM HAZARDS β
