MEDC XB15M 5/10/15 Joule Ex Xenon Beacon Range

Eaton's Crouse-Hinds series MEDC XB15M range of 5, 10 and 15 joule metallic xenon beacons are suitable for use in potentially explosive gas and dust atmospheres. They're suitable for both onshore and offshore environments in the oil, gas and petrochemical industries. ATEX, IECEx and INMETRO certified. This product also has SIL2.

The latest addition to the XB15 flagship beacon range not only aligns with the GRP version in terms of spare parts but also introduces enhanced application flexibility. With a removable guard, improved mounting hardware and swappable lens covers, it minimizes spares inventory and allows for relocation – customers can simply select the relevant color for the required location of the beacon to indicate a procedure, process underway or emergency notification.

The housings are manufactured from 316L stainless steel or LM25 marine grade aluminum. Stainless steel screws and mounting backstrap are incorporated ensuring durability in the field.

As well as being certified from -55°C to + 85°C, the XB15M has been designed to consistently energize at -55°C.

This unit is available in a high number of configurations to suit your specification. Please download the datasheet for options.
