Multifunction beacon GNExB1X05

blinkingstrobeflash

Product overview
The GNExB1X05 is an explosion‑proof 5 Joule xenon strobe beacon certified to IECEx and ATEX for hazardous areas. Its UV‑stable GRP enclosure and extended temperature range make it suitable for Zone 1, 2, 21 and 22 installations where high‑visibility safety signalling is required.

Features

• Explosion‑proof UV‑stable GRP (glass reinforced polyester) enclosure
• Ingress protection IP66/67
• Automatic synchronization for multi‑beacon systems
• DC versions provide three selectable flash rates and remote flash‑rate initiation
• User‑replaceable xenon tube mechanically secured against shock and vibration
• Glass lens with stainless steel guard and stainless steel fixings
• Field‑replaceable UV‑stable polycarbonate colour filters (amber, blue, clear, green, magenta, red, yellow)
• Dual cable entries and duplicate terminations for daisy‑chain installations
• SIL1 standard; SIL2 Route 2H capability (IEC61508:2010)
