Eaton SL7 Strobe Light Modules are a specific type of flashing light module designed for the SL7 series signal towers. They are optimised for providing the most intense and attention-grabbing visual alerts within the SL7 system.
- High-Intensity LED Source: They use powerful LEDs specifically designed to produce an exceptionally bright strobe flash.
- Colour Options: Typically available in yellow, a high-visibility colour ideal for warning signals.
- Voltage Compatibility: Compatible with either 120/240V AC or 24V DC power sources, offering flexibility for various power supply setups.
- Single Strobe Flash Pattern: Unlike regular flashing modules with selectable patterns, strobe modules have a singular, continuous strobe flash designed for maximum attention-grabbing effect. The flash rate is usually fixed at around 1.4 Hz (flashes per second).
- Exceptional Brightness: Strobe modules produce an extraordinarily bright light with 360° illumination, ensuring the signal is visible from almost any direction, even in very bright or cluttered environments.
- Rugged Construction: The housing is made of impact-resistant polycarbonate, providing protection against chemicals, dust, and UV rays, making them suitable for harsh industrial environments.
- Wide Operating Temperature Range: They can function reliably in a broad temperature range, typically between -30°C to 60°C.
- Ingress Protection: An IP66 rating guarantees protection against dust, dirt, and water jets from any direction.
Eaton SL7 Strobe Light Modules are ideal for applications requiring the most noticeable and urgent visual warnings, such as:
- Emergency Alarms: In situations demanding immediate attention, like equipment failure or critical safety hazards, the intense strobe flash effectively captures attention.
- High-Noise Environments: In places with loud machinery or background noise, the strobe's exceptional brightness can penetrate visual distractions.
- Outdoor Applications: The strobe's intensity cuts through sunlight or foggy conditions, making it suitable for outdoor signalling needs.
Some additional considerations for using Eaton SL7 Strobe Light Modules are:
- Limited Colour Choice: Due to their focus on high-intensity signalling, strobe modules typically only come in yellow, a universally recognised warning colour.
- Potential for Discomfort: The intense strobe flash might be overwhelming or even disorienting in some situations. Evaluate if a less intense flashing pattern might be sufficient for your needs.
- Clear Communication: Ensure personnel understand the meaning of the strobe signal to avoid confusion or unnecessary alarm.
The Eaton SL7 Strobe Light Modules are a powerful tool for critical situations demanding immediate attention. Their exceptional brightness and durability make them ideal for industrial signalling needs where visibility and urgency are paramount. Remember to consider the potential limitations and ensure proper communication of the strobe signal's meaning within your environment.
