Attention-getting equipment status signals

March 2012 Operator Interfaces, Switches & Relays

Banner Engineering has introduced the new EZ-Light TL50 beacon tower light – a hybrid of its popular TL50 tower and K50 beacon lights – to its existing line of lighting and indicators. Like other models of the TL50, the new beacon tower is segmented and may be ordered with 1-4 different coloured LED lights, thereby allowing several messages to be conveyed at once. The new TL50 also features the ability to have any of the segments flash or rotate the extremely bright signals in addition to displaying a solid ‘on’ indication.

“We see tower lights as an important solution for so many industrial applications, and our new TL50 is one of the most versatile indicator lights we have developed,” says Chuck Dolezalek, product development manager at Banner Engineering. “Not only does it work for both indoor and outdoor applications because of its brightness, but we also have audible models, which opens the door to the number of applications even wider.”

The extremely bright output of the LED beacons provides easy-to-see indication from all directions when multiple lights may need to be on simultaneously. As a result, operators have the ability to monitor equipment status from a distance. Audible models that have easily adjustable sound intensity are also available, as are a number of bracketing options to enhance functionality and placement options. The TL50 has a wide 12-30 VDC operating range, which enables it to be used in battery-­powered mobile applications.
