When choosing a warning signal there are many things that need to be considered for selecting the correct warning signal for the intended environment. Firstly, you need to start by looking at the location of the intended warning signal and consider:
– The IP rating required.
– The ambient temperature of the area.
– The available electrical supply in the area.
– The noise level if selecting a sounder.
– Any existing lights in place in the area if selecting a beacon – note, it needs to differentiate from the light already in place.
– Potential explosion area.
With these points in mind, evaluate the specific application for the warning signal. Here are the top three areas where warning signals are most commonly used:
⚡ Fire Warning Applications
For example, fitted to ceilings, doors to alert fire exits and assembly points. Fire warning signs may also point to the location of fire-fighting equipment. Install these warning signals in commercial buildings and facilities that demand enhanced public safety, including hospitals and schools.
⚡ Automotive Applications
For example, slow moving vehicles, forklift trucks and emergency vehicles. Automotive applications typically use amber flashing warning signals, seen on vehicles from tractors to airport baggage trucks. However, emergency vehicles require red or blue flashing lights.
⚡ Industrial & Marine Applications
For example, loading bays, warehouses, factory floor and marine ports/docks.
Since industrial and marine environments can be hazardous, it’s important to consider a product that can withstand harsh weather conditions, shock and vibrations.
Within an industrial factory, they also need to be bright and loud enough to be seen/heard over the machinery that may be in place.
