Revolutionary Low Cost Intrinsically Safe Sounders / Beacons

Cranford Controls has launched the revolutionary new low cost IS sounder and beacon family. The IS-Minialarm is a 100dB(A) sounder, the IS-Minialite is a beacon that uses an array of 6 high intensity LED's and the IS-Minialert is a combined unit with the beacon mounted in the centre of the sounder horn. All versions are of cylindrical construction measuring 88mm in diameter.

The IS-Minialarm sounder has 49 user-selectable three-stage alarm tone configurations with an output of 100 db(A) at 1 metre. A 4MHz clock ensures that the outputs from all sounders on a loop are synchronised. The IS-Minialite beacon uses an array of ultra bright Amber, Red, Blue or Green LED's to produce a selectable 1Hz or 2Hz flashing warning signal, giving a far brighter and more noticeable visual warning than traditional Xenon tube beacon alternatives in a hazardous area.

Cranford Controls also supplies the galvanic isolating barrier and suitable IP65 enclosure to give a one-stop solution for fire systems installed in hazardous areas and for integration into process control equipment in a wide variety of manufacturing industries. Third party testing to the relevant EN54 Standard and Ex approval for EN50020:2002 for use in Zone 0, 1 and 2 Gas Group IIC environments is underway.

The design features a common base fitted with two 20mm cable entry knockouts; the device itself is fitted to the base using a bayonet latch mechanism and a separate security screw. Connection to the control panel is via a flying lead through the base of the unit directly into the device.
