Switchtec showcases Sirena multi-functional beacons and sounders

Distributed by Switchtec, Sirena’s M-Line range of beacons and sounders is based on a simple concept of three modular domes and five modular bases and promises to provide a custom fit for all signalling applications.

The M-Line range comprises three model types: SIR-E (sounder), SIR-E LED (beacon/sounder), and FLR (beacon) and has been granted IP65 status, making each model suited to outdoor applications.

The range’s unique modular concept allows each of the three domes to be mounted on any of the five bases, reducing on the number of parts stocked.

M-Line’s three multi-functional domes are based on a multi-level technology allowing each function of the device to be controlled independently, creating different levels of alarm.

The FLR beacons feature a high level of optical performance, allowing three separate lighting effects - steady, rotating and flashing.

‘Steady’ is a deep and rich light source ideal for attracting attention yet without a great amount of disturbance. ‘Rotating’ simulates traditional rotating beacons yet without moving parts and ‘flashing’ is a triple-flash strobe effect for applications where an immediate attention gain is mandatory.

FLR and SIR-E domes are available in four colours: red, amber, green and blue all with SMD LED technology that offers longer lifetime and better resistance to vibration. Multi voltage bases comprise 12/24V AC/DC and 90/240V AC in three physical types: shallow, deep and wall mounting.

The domes (SIR-E and SIR-E LED) adopt Sirena’s ‘realTime’ feature that allows modifying sounds via dip switches without the need of powering down the device, allowing power-on operations on machinery. The volume of the acoustic domes can also be adjusted and lowered to a minimum of 65dB – remembering that not all applications require ear splitting volume levels.

Each component of the M-Line range has been engineered with an easy snap-on technology that allows easy and safe installation procedures in the most challenging of environments.
