XFD/UC/24/SH/2.5J/Colour

Posted on by

In response to enquiries from some of our key customers, deegee has modified the XFD product to accommodate a Universal Current.  This opens up new possibilities with this little xenon beacon.

Specified at 24V AC and DC, the unit is otherwise the same, housed in the little D housing, with its 102 mm height and 79 mm base diameter.  With an easy to wire terminal block, and entry to the ABS base via a 10mm cable entry hole, the XFD is very easy to install and maintain.  Offering 360 degree all-round and 270 degree all-over visibility, the XFD packs a lot of punch when it comes to flash intensity per unit size. 

Low voltage mains is a popular choice for air-conditioners, heating and cooling systems, and so to have a warning or status signal which works on this same voltage makes for a much easier installation.  One of the specialities of D. G. Controls is its ability to adapt and develop product to more particularly suit customer needs.  This is all possible because of our in-house development department and manufacturing facility.

New Aviation Warning Light Signals The Way

Posted on by

Product development is what drives businesses such as D. G. Controls Ltd forward, and having our own full-time development engineer based at our UK office gives us a reactivity second to none when it comes to developing products to customers’ requirements. 

Recognising our position in the aircraft warning sector, orders are now in from our key distributors for the newest in the range, the SBB LED 10 Candela Aircraft Warning beacon.  Officially termed the SBB/*/*/LED/Type A/Red, this little beacon meets the ICAO regulations for low level intensity warning of aircraft.  Being a 360 degree viewing enclosure, the SBB Type A uses different LEDs from the larger SBE and SBG Type A products, offering a higher light intensity per LED, and meaning that the required brightness levels are met within the much smaller series B enclosure.

Series B is an IP65 rated enclosure, pre-moulded with M10 and M20 cable gland entries.  The lens fits with a specially designed O-ring and tightens on a bayonet-style fitting, securing with a tamper screw  into a blind hole.  Carefully designed to minimise dust and dirt build-up, and fully water-tight, Series B is perfectly suited to the outdoor environment, and with long-life LEDs, makes maintenance a thing of the past.

deegee at SPS/IPC/Drives 2010

Posted on by

23rd to 25th November sees D. G. Controls back at SPS/IPC/Drives in Nuremburg, Germany.

Open from Tuesday until Thursday, with extended hours on Tuesday and Wednesday until 7pm, SPS/IPC/DRIVES is the exhibition for electric automation technology. It covers all components down to complete systems and integrated automation solutions. Find out more about the exhibition topics’ spectrum in detail.

Showing much of the catalogue of enclosures and circuit technologies, SPS/IPC/DRIVES will be a useful opportunity to see the deegee beacons and sounders “in the flesh”, and to discuss your particular requirements with the deegee sales team.  Look out for some new and interesting technologies never before seen in the deegee range!

You will find D. G. Controls Ltd in Hall  on Stand 462

High intensity LED beacon for office use

Posted on by

Using the low profile Series R enclosure from the deegee brand, PSR/*/*/LED-FIRE is a high-intensity, low-current L.E.D. warning beacon ideal for use with fire-alarm systems. Using high-intensity L.E.Ds. the beacon can achieve an effective luminous intensity of up to 115 Candela.

With a standard beacon flash rate of 60 flashes per minute, one of two synchronising modes (/SYNC) can be selected at time of installation using a jumper link.

In /SYNC mode 1 the units are connected in a network (output of beacon 1 to input of beacon 2 and so on) and all beacons will synchronise to beacon 1. In /SYNC mode 2 all beacons respond to a 5mS break in the power supply. This makes PSR/*/*/LED-FIRE perfect for use either individually or in a run for instance down a corridor, where synchronisation is essential to reduce stress on individuals during an emergency.

The systems designer can ensure that the unit is operated with maximum energy efficiency by selecting one of four brightness modes most appropriate to the application – 45Cd, 60Cd, 75Cd or 115Cd (default setting) – by way of two on-board jumper links. 

The Series R enclosure is perfect for public and office installation.

“Series B” – big brother to the new Series C

deegee XFB Xenon Strobe Beacon

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.
