Preparations for this year’s show in Hannover are progrssing very well, including the stand being built by the on-site team.  All the kit is on site and the team are on schedule for a Sunday hand-over.

However, due to the ongoing and ever changing situation with flights in and out of the UK caused by the volcanic activity in Iceland, we have implemented our travel contingency plans for the team due to man the stand next week.  The team will be on-site as expected on Monday morning ready to meet all of you who are able to brave this unprecidented situation.

Safe travels – we look forward to meeting you all next week.

It’s that time of year again when all is in full swing getting ready for the Hannover Messe 2010.  Having had a great response to our 2009 location, you can once again find deegee in Hall 8 Stand B02.

Running from 19^th – 23^rd April 2010, Hannover Messe has always been a platform for meeting with the deegee distribution partners, both long-standing and new, and for discussing the beacon and sounder range with potential end-users from around the world.  2010 will prove to be no different; meetings have been scheduled with some of our newest clients, one of whom is working on a significant volume project with us on a new signalling concept.

This year the stand will be hosted by deegee’s Managing Director, Jon Whiten, who will be ably assisted by Office Manager Lisa Baum, and Sales Administrator Stacey Porter.  Operations Director, Wendy Whiten, will remain in the UK with the Whiten’s two sons, the younger at just 4 months old.

A number of existing deegee distributors came to the stand to share their marketing plans for 2010, and some good contacts were made into other countries where deegee isn’t currently represented.  With the follow-up made and end-user contacts passed onto distributors, only time will tell, but on the whole the show was considered a great success for the business.

Next confirmed stop on the exhibition circuit Hannover Messe 2010……

For the first time in 7 years, the deegee brand of beacons and sounders has been taken to SPS Drives at Nuremberg.  With an exhibition stand based on the theme of “Highlighting Industrial Safety”, and further developing the brand identity from the Hannover 2009 show, the deegee range has certainly attracted some positive attention on the first day of the show.

With many more of our worldwide customers attending the European shows, it’s a very effective way for deegee to meet with our core export distributors, as well as showcase the product range to end-users.

Using the show to focus on the industrial sector, including the stacking beacon range, the panel displays, the warehousing and logistics signals, and the sounders, it is apparent that deegee really does have a product offering for every sector.   

For an opportunity to get involved with the deegee beacon and sounder range, pop along to Hall 5, Stand 462, and have a chat with Jon and Donna.  Remember though, the show is only open until 5pm on Thursday 26th November 2009.

Now that the Series C range of beacons and sounders is formally launched, deegee has followed up in quick succession with the Series B!

Using the ABS Base of the Series C, the Series B is just that bit taller, using a brand new higher dome.  This allows for a different type of electronics inside, such as the best-selling 360 degree viewing LED range from deegee,  which includes a 10cd aircraft warning beacon compliant with the ICAO Low Intensity Warning Beacon standard.

The model range also includes the following beacon technologies:

• 2.5 Joule Xenon Strobe
• 5 Joule Xenon Strobe
• Pulsed (flashing) LED
• Static (non-flashing) LED
• Revolving (simulated rotating) LED
• Pulsed (flashing) Filament Lamp
• Static (non-flashing) Filament Lamp

Compatible with the IAS-C Sounder,  the Series B range can be joined easily to other units, and with a choice of 32-tones available in the sounder unit, a huge number of signalling  requirements are met in this product.

Series B is rated IP65 and the full range of DC and AC voltages are available within the range, as is the full spectrum of deegee colours.

All models are now available for delivery.

The new Series C beacon range from the deegee brand is perfectly styled for office and public area use.

At only 85cm tall, Series C comprises a robust ABS Base and a Polycarbonate lens.   The circuitry is fixed to the lens assembly, allowing easy fitting of bases and wiring during installation, and retro-fitting of the electronics and lenses.
 
Lens assemblies fit to the bases by bayonet fitting with an O-ring seal, and secure in place with a single securing grub screw.  With no other external fixings, and all connections between enclosure parts protected by O-rings, Series C is certified to IP65 ingress protection, making it suitable for indoor or outdoor use. 

The full range of deegee technologies fit the Series C enclosure, including LED, Xenon, Filament, and Indicator Signs such as Cross, Arrow and No Entry.  AC and DC voltages across the ranges are available on most models, as are the full complement of deegee colours of Red, Amber, Green, Blue and Clear.
 
All models, colours and voltages are now available for delivery.

With formal launch of the “Series C” Industrial Sounder, the IAS-C, with its sound output of up to 110 dB, focus as always with the deegee range is on how versatile our products are.

Developed with an eye on the flexibility of the Series C range, a core application is the combining of the Industrial Sounder with the Series C Beacons as well as the Sign-Indicators such as the Cross, Arrows and No Entry.  The combined audible and visual signal greatly enhances the effectiveness of the warning.  Given the user-choosable 32 tones, with secondary tones, units can be tailored according to the specific hazard.

Joining the Series C units is easy, using the M10 moulded entries on the sides of the base.  Since the electronics are housed in the cap of the product, the bases can be installed at an earlier fitting phase, and the electronics installed as a second phase.  The cap is held in place with a single securing grub screw, rendering the unit  tamper-proof.

Any number of units can be joined together, and with an ingress protection rating of IP65 the Series C suits both indoor and outdoor applications.  

Most DC and AC voltages are covered within the range, and the full spectrum of deegee colours is available for the visual beacons and sign indicators.

All models are now available for delivery.

Development is now complete on the deegee brand “Series C” Industrial Sounder, known as IAS-C.  Using the same white ABS housing as the Series C Beacons, the Sounder can be used as a stand-alone unit, or joined with one of the many visual beacons in the Series C range.

With a sound output of up to 110 dB and an initial complement of 32-selectable primary with secondary tones , the IAS-C packs a lot of punch for its size. 

Compatible with all of the Series C beacons, including the Indicator Signs, the IAS-C can be joined to the other units using the M10 moulded entries.  A further moulded M20 entry to the underside of the base makes it perfect for mounting direct to 51 centres of a conduit box.

Conforming to IP65 ingress protection, the sounder is effective for both indoor and outdoor applications.  Its low profile (85cm) makes it an attractive and discreet unit for office and public area use.

With models to cover DC and AC inputs, the IAS-C is well-equipped to suit any application.  Specifically the units cover the voltage range

• 10 – 30 Vdc
• 24 Vac
• 48 – 78 Vac
• 95 – 250 Vuc

All models are now available for delivery.

Attending the Brussels Expo venue for the second time in 2009, Inelmatec, distributor of the deegee brand in Belgium, is showing the deegee beacon and sounder range at Mocon Hydromech 2009.  Inelmatec will be exhibiting in Hall 7 Stand 7089.

Specialising in motion control, production automation, assembly techniques and control and operating systems, Mocon Hydromech runs on 14th and 15th October 2009, at the Brussels Expo in Belgium.

Like the sweets in a sweetie shop, the deegee brand of beacons is available in a rainbow of colours to suit virtually all visual signalling applications.  Even our LED beacons are available, from stock, in the standard range of Red, Amber, Green, Blue and Clear.  In addition to the standard colour range, Series D beacons and Series SA Stacking Beacons can be supplied in Purple for specialist applications.  (To be honest though, we have yet to launch the “Princess Pink” range – Watch this space ?!?)

Of course, we acknowledge that you may not find exactly the product you need for your specific application.  DO TALK TO US as we can probably accommodate your specific requirements – In fact, it is most likely that we have already produced something very similar in the past

We look forward to hearing from you.

The future’s bright – follow the rainbow!

“Red and yellow and pink and green, purple and orange and blue.  I can sing a rainbow, sing a rainbow, sing a rainbow too.”
