Switchtec expands its STX range of Beacons
Switchtec expands its STX range of Beacons to include Dual “Flashing or Continuous” LED version. Addressing the need for a compact, competitively priced, low profile LED beacon, Switchtec has developed from the “Ground Up” the STXLED beacons to meet the demands of control panel manufacturers and those in the field of factory automation. Switchtec has expanded its popular STX range of Xenon beacons to include the STXLED range, a Dual output Flashing or Continuous LED beacon. Addressing customer demand for a Continuous output was not possible with Xenon technology. Utilising LED Technology, Switchtec has been able to develop the STXLED range which offers a Dual Flashing or Continuous output LED Beacon by the selection of 2 of the 3 connection cables. The STXLED beacons have 3 x 550mm connection cables coloured for easy recognition. Connecting 2 cables produces a continuous output, and connection of the 3rdproduces a flashing output. The beacons can be surface mounted using the fixing plate supplied or panel mounted using the two mounting studs and nuts provided. STX Beacons have been designed to produce an optimum level of output but with a 76mm diameter and with a height of 49mm panel mounted or 65mm for surface mounted. They are available in two voltage versions; 24DA which will operate from 10V to 28V AC or DC and 230A which will operate from 115V to 240VAC. Colours available are Red, Green, Amber, Blue and Clear/White and are fitted with 3 ultra-bright coloured LED’s that delivers a bright eye catching 6 Lux output. The flashing output flash rate is 1 Hz (Once per second) Dust tight and able to stand jets of waters, the STX beacons have an ingress protection of IP65. STX beacons can be safely installed inside or outside as they are fully weatherproof units. The STX beacons will be of great interest to those in the fields of control automation, factory automation, panel building and those operating in applications such as security and hazard/warning applications. Xenon beacons still remain a popular go to product for manufacturers looking for a competitively priced flashing beacon, but LED Technology offers the additional benefits of Dual Flashing or Continuous Light output, longer operational life, lower power consumption and a greater resistance to vibration. Both the LED and Xenon versions of the STX beacons are available Ex-Stock from Switchtec.

Switchtec supplies three stackable lighting and sounder modules for greater versatility and performance
Available from specialist distributor Switchtec, Sirena’s TWS range of light towers incorporates three modules to the stackable tower Automax range. The TWS range provides visual and/or audible indication of the status of a wide variety of process machines, vehicles, lifts and other factory and industrial equipments. Automax is Sirena’s most complete range of modular and multifunctional stacklights purpose engineered for the automation industry. The TWS S is a multifunctional SuperBright LED module offering no less than four effects, namely steady, flashing, strobe and a new random effect. Exhibiting versatility, six different dome colours are available: blue, amber, red, green, yellow and clear. The TWS RGA is a multicolour, SuperBright LED module with three levels (colours) of alarm from one module: green, amber and red. The third module, the TWS A+ is an electronic sounder that has 16 different tones, a maximum sound level of 93dB and a high degree of protection for a sounder of CE/IP65 GOST UL/NEMA 3R. TWS S and TWS RGA offer an excellent degree of protection to CE/IP66 GOST UL/NEMA 4X and operate from 12/24V AC/DC supplies. The TWS A+ is similarly empowered, but is also able to operate from 90/240V AC supplies. All three modules are available in base unit colours of grey or black. The basic principal of any light tower is to provide a quick visual indication, warning or notification. Most light towers are pre assembled and have to be ordered in the required colour sequence, voltage and illumination type and are manufactured as a complete Item. Sirena’s TWS family provides flexibility to customers, stockists and distributors by the use of a modular system. The customer simply orders the colours they need, output type (flashing or continuous), the required bulb voltage, then by use of Sirena’s simple assembly mechanism, stack the colour modules in the order required. This expanded TWS range from Sirena builds on the success of the original TWS that was known for its ease of assembly and flexibility. However its 70mm diameter was often too large for customer’s requirements. Smaller diameter lights towers were available from other manufacturers, but lacked the TWS’s stackable flexibility. So Sirena developed the Mini, Baby, Micro and Nano TWS to address this demand. That’s a total of five ranges with the following diameters: 18, 25, 36, 55 and 70mm. Find out more about Switchtec here
Switchtec’s cost effective Ethernet switches provide storm protection for industrial users
Available from specialist distributor Switchtec, Kyland’s Opal series industrial Ethernet switches meet the growing demand for smaller, smarter control panels that need to communicate with external devices and systems in the industrial environment. Available in 5, 8, and 16 port variants, the versatile Ethernet switches are unmanaged types, and as such require no setting up, they are plug and play. An unmanaged switch allows Ethernet devices to communicate with each other automatically using auto-negotiation to determine parameters such as data rates and whether to use half-duplex or full-duplex mode. Kyland’s Opal series Ethernet switches are supplied with dual/redundant power inputs, and beingmulti voltage they are able to work on 18 to 30VAC, and 12 to 48VDC powered systems. The switches are DIN rail mountable and are of a compact design, the smallest OPAL 5 measuring just 115 x 68 x 30mm in size. Supplied in a rugged aluminium DIN rail mount housing the switches are rated to IP30 and have an operating temperature range of -10 to +60 degrees C. For ease of use in deployment, the switches feature full LED Link/ACT indication and dual LED power supply indication. Kyland’s Opal seriesEthernet switches feature selectable storm protection. A broadcast storm occurs when a network system is overwhelmed by continuous multicast or broadcast traffic. When different nodes are sending/broadcasting data over a network link and the other network devices are rebroadcasting the data back to the network link in response, this eventually causes the whole network to go into meltdown and the failure of network communication.So being fitted with selectable storm protection, the Ethernet switches protect the network from this potentially dangerous problem. The Opal series is manufactured in accordance with FCC CFR47 part 15 and EN55022/CISPR22 Class A for EMI, and IEC61000-4-2/3/4/5/6 and IEC60068-2/27/32 for EMS. And providing confidence for the specifier or buyer, the all-important approvals are cULus, UL508 class1 Div 2, Atex zone 2 IECEx, FCC and CE approved. Further, each Kyland Opal Ethernet switch is supplied with a 5-year manufacturer’s warranty. For use in control panel systems for building management systems (BMS) integration, the switches will find favour with panel builders, equipment manufacturers, OEMs and those directly involved with BMS integration. They are a cost-effective product providing a compact, easy to install and set up solution that is fully approved and manufactured to internationally recognised standards. www.switchtec.com
