Features
- Ex db IIC T6 Gb — flameproof enclosure in gas group IIC, the highest group, with temperature class T6.
- Ex tb IIIC T80°C Db — dust protection by enclosure on the same unit, for conductive dust.
- Audible and visual in one body — the beacon and the sounder are one certified unit, so there is one mounting point and one entry instead of two devices.
- 150 flashes / min — a fast enough flash rate to read as a warning rather than as a status lamp.
- Two body types drawn — 205 mm high, φ177 mm and φ160 mm across; one drawing includes the sounder, the other shows the protected globe alone. Tell us which you need when ordering.
- G3/4" cable entry — closed with the matching certified gland.
- AC 220 V / 50 Hz — standard single-phase supply, so it can be fed from the same local circuit as the surrounding lighting.
- Cast body with a protected globe — the beacon sits behind a guard, as shown in the specification sheet drawing.
Where the BBJ is used
- Perimeter and gate alarm points on tank farms, loading areas and storage yards
- Start, stop and fault indication on pump and compressor skids
- Warning at the entrance to a classified area, where a visitor or a contractor has to be told before entering
- Workshops, stores and loading bays where an alarm has to carry over background noise
- Anywhere the sounder and the beacon have to be one certified device rather than two separate fittings
Sound and light, or the beacon alone?Tell us which of the two body types you need, the zone and the gas or dust group, and how the alarm is driven. We will confirm the body type, the entry and the exact marking against your area classification.
