The Edwards Signaling Products105XBRi Series XTRA-BRITE LED Multi-Status
Beacon is a heavy duty, reliable UL and cUL listed, multi-color visual
signaling device. It features a corrosion resistant Type 4X enclosure that
is UL Listed for Marine use, and can be panel or conduit mounted. The base
is manufactured from glass-reinforced thermoplastic polyester resin and the
double fresnel lens is made of shatter resistant polycarbonate.
The Edwards Signaling's NEW 105XBRi Multi-status Indicator is more
"chameleon-like" than ever. With a quick change to the new 105XBRi
Chameleon's dip switch settings, these flexible multi-status indicators
instantly adapt for use with or without control from an external PLC, PAC,
or control relay. Now, regardless of the application, you will have just the
right device for the job.
The 105XBRi Chameleon devices ships as with Edwards Signaling's XTRA-SAFE
Technology Enabled. XTRA-SAFE multi-status indicating devices employ
patented combinations of color AND flash-rate to provide more definite
status indication to those who are color-blind. With XTRA-SAFE, when
Chameleon multi-status indicators are turned red, they pulse at a rate of
240 flashes per minute, further emphasizing the urgency which the color red
typically connotes. When amber, these devices pulse at a "less urgent" rate
of 120 flashes per minute. When Chameleon multi-status indicators are turned
blue or green and no other colors are energized, the Chameleon devices
remain "steady-on" and do not flash. Even in extreme cases where no color is
perceived, flash-rate variation provides a redundant layer of visual
indication.
While in most cases, the added layer of safety gained by operating a
multi-status indicator with XTRA-SAFE Technology is desirable, some
applications may not require differentiation in flash rates. In other
applications, changes do not correspond to escalating levels of urgency. The
adaptive design of the new Chameleon 105XBRi allows the product to be
adapted to accommodate these requirements through simple dip switch
configuration. With XTRA-SAFE Disabled, when red or amber, the unit pulses
at a rate of 65 flashes per minute. When Chameleon multi-status indicators
are turned green or blue and no other colors are energized, the Chameleon
devices remain "steady on" and do not flash.
The Chameleon multi-status indicators can also be used in applications where
they will be controlled "externally" using a Programmable Logic Controller
(PLC) or other such external controller. When externally controlled by a
PLC, activation of colors and flash-rate are fully customizable, and can be
programmatically determined. In applications, where multiple colors are
activated simultaneously, the lights operate on a priority with red highest,
amber second and blue or green, the lowest.
The Chameleon has three different configurations for mounting that include
the 105BX junction box, the 105BM mounting bracket and the 105PM pipe mount
attachment. The unit can be mounted on 3/4" NPT using the 105PM pipe
attachment. It can also be surface mounted using the 105BM mounting bracket
with the 105BX junction box.
All three mounting options are non-conductive plastic fixtures and do not
provide earth-ground continuity when attached to metallic wiring systems.
They are intended for use with the 105XBRi Chameleon visual signals only
when earth-grounding is not required. They can only be used with metallic
wiring systems when installed at the end of the run.
