Click-together, or modular stacking beacons – commonly known as Andon lights, are a product that is ideal for internal multi-signalling applications. Modular stacking beacons are commonly utilized in conjunction with various kinds of equipment, for drawing responsiveness to fault conditions and warning messages by simply giving visual alarms. With that said, modular stacking beacons are beneficial for businesses and even facilities in order to lessen the unnecessary times of non-productivity.

Moreover, to make the task of distributors, design and maintenance engineers, and system integrators a lot easier, this modular method allows a stacked beacon to be made from any module type’s combination.

Even so, the comprehensive range constructs from a common base or terminal module and provides various options of visual and audible indicator modules such as:

  • – Audible sounder modules
  • – Pulse & Static LED (with a choice of 8 different operating modes)
  • – Xenon Strobe

 

How Do Modular Stacking Beacons Work?

In actual fact, such beacons can be best used in a wide variety of applications with regard to multiple status signalling. Modular stacking beacons are usually utilized to create towers for up to six modules, of which one can be a sounder module, or simply consist of just one module to create a simple indicator.

The external parts, on the other hand, are made from engineering-grade and UV-stabilized polycarbonate which can contribute to improved effectiveness as well as durability. In addition, pole mounts and wall mounting brackets are available to compliment the range as well.

Conclusion:

When they are securely and tightly built from the base, modular stacking beacons can be extremely protective. This type of indicator is becoming a necessity in all types of production environments, increasing productivity and minimizing wastage time.
