Larson Electronics LLC has announced the release of an explosion proof solar powered siren that is both weatherproof and dustproof, for use in explosion proof locations where hazardous conditions are present.
The SPEPSN-HRN-PA is a solar powered explosion proof siren that provides operators with an alert/signal system that can be heard over the day to day operation of industrial machinery and can withstand the conditions present in wet and marine locations. This explosion proof horn has 8 different tones that can be remotely operated and switched on during priority alerts, reaching a peak output of 110dBA. The housing of the siren is constructed of aluminum with a weather-proof grey powder coat for maximum resistance to corrosion in wet environments and NEMA4x rated. The horn itself is made of fiberglass for thermal and structural advantages.
The included 30 watt solar panel is also weatherproof, and soaks up enough sun light to recharge the siren’s battery in 5 hours, great for locations where constant power sources are not readily available. It is built to operate 24/7 and day/night with a photocell. It includes a security motion sensor and on/off manual switch, and can connect to operator provided switches with flying leads. An LED light is activated at night when lighting falls below 1 lux and a lead acid battery pack is sealed within the solar panel. This siren can be mounted on flat surfaces, as well as square and round poles.
