Description

Catalog Series 51SIN Adaptabeacon signals are general purpose visual/audible signaling appliances. The 51SIN series are combination steady-on lights with horn. The signals are PLC compatible and can be flashed either from a PLC or an external relay.

The 51SIN series signals are suitable for indoor or outdoor (weatherproof) installation and utilize a standard base that allows direct surface mounting, mounting on a 4" (102 mm) octagon box, or mounting on 1/2" (13 mm) NPT conduit. For outdoor installation, the signals must be mounted on conduit.

WARNING

To prevent electrical shock, ensure that power is disconnected before installing the signal.

WARNING

To prevent leakage and a potential shock hazard, use care when disassembling the signal to prevent tearing of the permanently affixed weatherproof gaskets.
