Datasheet - Beacon X80

Product catalog summary

Overview: The X80 Series is a cost-effective and energy-efficient flashing beacon suitable for local signaling applications. It uses a Xenon tube to emit a bright white flash and is controlled via a PCB.

Features: The beacon is continuously rated, with a Xenon output of 1-2J, low current consumption, and a wide operating voltage. It offers 120° light output around the vertical axis and is available in different voltages. It is suitable for stud, surface, or conduit box mounting.

Material: The beacon features a UV stable polycarbonate lens and a UV stable ABS plastic base, ensuring durability.

Specifications: Operating temperature ranges from -25 to +55°C, with a flash rate of 60 flashes per minute (FPM) and an IP67 rating.

Mounting Options: The beacon can be mounted using a surface, conduit box, or wall mounting with a two-piece fixing plate. The plate is optional for surface/panel mounting but required for other installations.

Voltage and Current Consumption: The beacon is available in various voltage ranges with different current consumptions: 18-30vDC (33mA @24vDC), 10-100vDC / 20-72vAC (100mA @24vAC), and 115-230vAC (27mA @230vAC).

Effective Candela: The effective candela is 1.2 for amber and 1.0 for red, calculated using the Blondel-Rey formula.

Weights: The net weight varies slightly with voltage: 0.130 kg for 18-30v, 0.132 kg for 10-100v, and 0.145 kg for 115/230v.

Catalog excerpts

The X80 Series is a flashing mode style of Beacon (single stage alarm) and is suitable for a wide range of ‘local' signalling applications where a low cost and energy efficient solution is required. Xenon Beacons (sometimes called strobes) are controlled via a PCB and put out a very brief but bright flash of white light through the Xenon Tube by ionizing and then discharging a large current through the Xenon gas. The Beacon is supplied fully assembled, ready for immediate installation and offers three mounting options: Surface, Conduit Box or Wall Mounting, using the two-piece fixing plate supplied. One plate is fixed to the appropriate surface, the other to the Beacon. The two plates then ‘Snap Fit' together to complete the installation. Please note, the mounting plate supplied is optional, as it is not required for surface/panel mounting. However, it is required when the Beacon cannot be mounted directly to a surface using the two studs located on the Base.
