Spectrum 600 Tri Colour LED PLC Controllable Beacon
The Moflash Spectrum 600 Series ultilises ultra-bright, tri-colour LEDs in one enclosure producing amber, green and red light in conjunction with two synchronised piezo sounders. The beacon is a cost-effective alternative to traditional stacking beacons and other process indication applications where multiple signal outputs, long life and low power consumption are required. The Spectrum 600 comes totally assembled and ready for immediate installation. In addition, the enclosure incorporates a high Ingress Protection (IP) rating and is manufactured from a tough, UV stable polycarbonate plastic that makes the beacon suitable for harsh industrial and marine environments. The Spectrum 600 requires external input signals for it to function. If no PLC (or similar) is available, then the Spectrum Interface Unit gives the end user a control option.
The Control Signal
The Control Signal must consist of a 5-bit word, which has to be assembled and transmitted in parallel mode to the Spectrum Beacon. The colour, flash frequency and sound are independent of one another but a colour signal is necessary for the control word to be accepted, thus any word beginning with 00 will not be accepted.
50165 Interface Unit (Optional)
Download Technical Data Sheet
The Interface Unit contains seven electrically isolated prioritised channels. Each channel accepts 24-230v Ac or 12-48v Dc input. A pre-selected audio and/or visual signal is supplied for each of the seven channels. In the event of no signal being applied, the beacon displays continuous green. The operating voltage for the unit is 230v Ac. The design allows for a 12v Dc auxiliary power supply for use in volt free applications. Additionally, the unit incorporates a battery [not supplied] back-up sufficient to maintain the unit for 12 hours in case of mains power failure. Provision is made for mains failure to be signalled from the interface unit (device not supplied). The unit is supplied complete with mounting plate and cover. This can be installed either inside an existing enclosure or into a standard weatherproof ‘Fibox’ IP67 mounting box [ref. MNX PCM200/63 G].
