3-way Traffic Light IPN/018/Red/Amber/Green has been developed by DG Controls following success of the 2-way Traffic Light

Following on from the success of the IPN 2-way Traffic Light (IPN/002/Red/ Green), a request for a 3-way Traffic Light in the range was fulfilled with the IPN/018/Red/Amber/Green. The size of the unit, being just 200mm x 150mm x 80mm deep makes it ideal for locations where space is at a premium, and where conventional traffic lights are too large.

IPN 3-way Traffic Light (IPN/018) was designed specifically for traffic management in automated industrial plants, but it is well-suited to all indoor and outdoor traffic management, being rated to IEC Protection Class IP65.

It is also suited to status-warning indication on large industrial plant, where the light can be seen from a long distance, ideal for areas where there are low numbers of personnel.

IPN 3-way Traffic Light (IPN/018) is available in 24V DC and in 115V AC and 230V AC versions.

Ultra-low power LED beacon ’sees’ everything

DG Controls launches the latest addition to its deegee beacon range, the new ULP-LED beacon

ULP-LED has a full 360degree all-round and 180degree all-over viewing angle, but uses less than 1/6th of the power of the equivalent filament lamp version. Available as either a static (SB/ULP-LED) or a pulsed (PS/ULP-LED) beacon, both types are available for AC (dual voltage 115/230V) , and 12V or 24V DC voltage.

The low power consumption makes it the ideal choice where power is at a premium, or where heat output is a problem, for instance in a confined space.

Using the latest Superflux LEDs, which have a 90degree viewing angle, the ULP-LED beacon is the perfect combination of excellent light coverage and low-profile format.

ULP-LED would typically be mounted in the low profile R (SBR or PSR/ULP-LED) or S (SBS or PSS/ULP-LED) heavy-duty cast aluminium housings.

However, for a recent rail maintenance project, Inelmatic NV requested the robust W housing.

This has the same low profile lens as the R series of beacons, but mounts onto the black polycarbonate base, which has formed cable entries on each side.

The siting of the beacons meant that clearance was restricted, but at only 150mm overall height, and given the light output through the sides of the lens, the SBW/ULP-LED proved to be the ideal beacon for the contract.

An added feature of the ULP-LED is that it can be combined with a sounder module to offer a chime, mono or pulsed audible signal.

This adds only 8mm to the total height of the unit.

All of the deegee housings mentioned are rated to IEC Protection Class IP65.

The newest addition to the deegee range of low energy beacons is the long life SB_/CFT

Fitting the E, G, H, J, K and T deegee housings, the SB_/CFT is a great solution for applications where low power consumption is essential, but without compromise on brightness. Using a fluorescent lamp, which has a life of around 10,000 operating hours, the reduced maintenance schedule makes the SB_/CFT ideal for more remote locations.

The 11W lamp draws over 5 x less current at 230V AC, than the equivalent brightness filament lamp, for the same light output.

* All the deegee enclosures are rated to IEC Protection Class IP65, apart from the SBG/CFT which is rated to IP68.

The SBT/CFT is supplied with all cable glands, whilst the other units have drill-outs for cable entry and mounting.

Housings are made from UV-stabilised engineering plastics (ABS for SBE/CFT, SBH/CFT, SBK/CFT base and polycarbonate for all lenses and SBG/CFT and SBT/CFT bases).

The SBJ/CFT base is cast aluminium, excellent for robust heavy-duty applications.

*46mA 11W Fluorescent Lamp compared with 242mA 60W Filament Lamp at 230V AC.

Rotating mirror beacon features LED light source

DG Controls is launching the new RF*/RMLED/, a traditional rotating mirror beacon with solid state LED light source, offering 360degree all-round visibility

DG Controls (deegee) are pleased to announce the production launch of the new RF*/RMLED/, a traditional rotating mirror beacon with solid state LED light source, offering 360degree all-round visibility. With an extremely high light output, for example on the Red RMLED of 278Cd, and a very pure colour obtained from using the same colour LED as beacon lens, this is truly a revolutionary product.

The product has been designed to use extremely low power, typically 5W power use at 24V.

This makes it suitable for fire and security systems, and for systems which feature battery back-up in case of failure of the primary power source.

The Ultra-low current draw means more units can be powered from a single source.  The lower power usage also means less energy is being wasted as heat.

The long life of the LED (100,000 hours typically) means low maintenance and, fitting into deegee’s E, G, H, J, K and T housings, a solution is available to suit all types of finish and application.

All deegee’s housings are certified to Environmental Standard IP 65 to afford shower-proof protection, or for more exposed environments, take the G series with its IP68 Certification.

The RMLED can be combined with Piezo Sounder - pulsed, chime or monotone - in E deegee housing.

Red, Amber, Green, Blue, Clear colour options are available, all made from UV-stabilised polycarbonate.

Brackets and Protective Guards are available for most models.

Combined beacon and sounder uses little power

A new ISB range of compact, IP65, low-current, combined flashing beacon and sounder units is being launched by DG Controls

These are particularly suitable for alarm systems where power is at a premium. All models incorporate a pulsed ring of high intensity red LEDs behind a red translucent polycarbonate sounder horn. The integral 110dB(A) sounder has 32 tones, selectable by internal DIP-switches, with the primary tone energised by a simple 2-wire connection and a secondary tone via a third wire.

Maximum volume can also be adjusted by internal preset.

Two basic housing styles are available.

The standalone ISB-E is built upon the same white ABS base as the popular Series E ‘High Dome’ beacon lamps to retain the traditional look-and-feel of this long-established range of visual indicators.  The ISB-E is also compatible with existing wall-mounting brackets and cage guards.

The ISB-T utilises the same black polycarbonate base as the Series T, U, V and W beacons, with its novel ‘ratchet’ linking system which allows two or more beacons and/or sounders to be clamped together as an integrated unit.

Versions for all popular supply voltages are offered: 12V DC, 24V DC, 115V AC and 230V AC.
