for EDWARDS AUDIBLE & VISUAL SIGNALSQuick Selection Guide

From the soft melodic sound of a chime, to the ear piercing emergency blast of an outdoor warning signal, Edwards audiblesignals produce sounds that demand immediate attention.

AUDIBLE S IGNALING BASICS

AUDIBLE SIGNALS AND THEIR APPLICATIONSVibrating and Single Stroke Bells6", 8", and 10" bells are used for alarms over large areassuch as distribution centers. 4" bells are used for smallerapplications. Single stroke bells are most useful for pagingapplications.

Vibrating HornsUsed to signal attention and equipment condition in processcontrol lines and other areas requiring human interface.

BuzzersMost often used for local annunciation of noncritical eventsbut can also be used when a distinctive paging signal isrequired.

ChimesSuitable for relatively quiet locations to page or locallyannunciate.

Sirens and Outdoor Warning SignalsFor use in general services and emergency warning overlarge geographic areas.

Multiple Tone SignalsUsed in stand-alone and signaling systems that requiremultiple tone selectability and flexibility.

Voice SignalsUsed where the delivery of specific instructions are required.

SOUND PRESSURE LEVELSSound pressure fluctuations diminish or “die out” with increas-ing distance from the sound source. A distance must gener-ally be specified along with the dB rating to fully describe asound.

The sound pressure level changes 6 dB for each halving ordoubling of distance. For a change in distance of ten times,the sound pressure level changes 20 dB.

TYPICAL DB LEVELS WHEN SELECTINGAUDIBLE SIGNALSIn specifying a signaling device, the above characteristicsshould be considered along with as many factors concerningthe application as can be gathered. Selecting the proper de-vice for each signaling application need not be difficult if thefollowing points are observed.

1. Signal FunctionBasically, the types of functions to which signals can be ap-plied are: general alarm or emergency, start and dismissal,paging or coding, localized danger, and indication.

The first step in selecting a signal is to carefully define thisfunction. Is the signal to be a warning, a call, or an instruc-

tion? Will it be used to protect life or property? How muchtime will be available to take action?

Obviously, the more critical the application, the more startlingthe signal generated must be. A horn is generally the moststartling signal. Its rasping tone commands immediate atten-tion. A single stroke bell can be used for paging applicationswhere danger is not at hand. A small buzzer may serve tonotify a machine operator that a particular operation is com-pleted.

2. Uniform Sound DistributionUsually, better signal distribution can be achieved by carefullypositioning a number of smaller signals throughout a givenarea than by centrally locating a single large unit.

3. Ambient Sound ConditionsThe frequency of the signaling device selected should be asdifferent from the background noise as possible. The signalshould override this noise by a minimum of six decibels. Usu-ally, the noisier the area, the louder the signal required andthe greater the number required.

4. Size of Area to be CoveredThe larger the area, the louder the signal required or thegreater the number of units required. Better coverage is fre-quently obtained by the use of several signals of lower dBrating than by the use of one very loud signal, providing thesignals can be positioned to advantage.

5. Mounting ConsiderationsThe surface that the signal is mounted on can markedly affectthe signal’s performance. A horn, for example, should be rig-idly mounted to a sturdy surface so that all of its energy is di-rected into the sound output and not absorbed by the wall. Abuzzer, however, can sound much louder if mounted on aresonant surface because it will act as a “sound board” for thedevice.

CAT. NUMBER VOLTAGE SUFFIXESEdwards audible signals are available in a wide variety ofvoltages. Each signal has a catalog number suffix whichindicates the voltage of that specific signal. The following is alist of the cat. number suffixes and the voltages theyrepresent:

From the amber light of a rotating beacon at an airport to the double flash of a red strobe in a Division 2 area, Edwards providesthe widest array of visual signaling solutions in the industry. The following is a brief overview of some of the types of visualsignals and applications.

VISUAL S IGNALING BASICS

BEACON TYPES AND THEIR APPLICATIONSRotating BeaconsUsed to signal over a large area such as in airports,distribution centers and large process areas.

Flashing BeaconsUsed to signal attention and equipment condition in processcontrol lines, airport baggage areas, and other areasrequiring human interface.

Double Flashing BeaconsUsed to signal attention and equipment condition over wideareas. Sometimes used in lieu of Rotating Beacons.

Steady BeaconsUsed to identify a continuous source or process.

Strobe LightsUsed for equipment status and malfunction indication overlarge and high noise areas.

Diode Supervised and UL 1971 Strobe LightsDiode polarized strobes are used in electronicallysupervised alarm circuits. When the strobe has a UL 1971listing it may also be used in compatible fire alarm systemsas a signaling device for the hearing impaired.

LENS COLORS AND THEIR APPLICATIONSMost Edwards strobes, steady and flashing beacons come insix lens colors: amber, blue, clear, green, magenta and red.Edwards LED signals come in amber, blue, green, red and,in some cases, white. The following are examples of howvarious lens colors are used in industrial and commercialsignaling environments:

AmberDenotes caution.

BlueUsed for safety and security.

Clear (or White) & GreenUsed to indicate normal run operation.

MagentaUsed for radiation alarms.

RedDenotes emergency or warning.

LIGHT SOURCES AND THEIRAPPLICATIONSEdwards signals use a variety of light sources: halogen,standard incandescent, LED, and strobe. The following is abrief overview of these type of light sources and their use.

LEDUse in areas where vibration resistance and long life are ofutmost concern. Light output with older technology LEDs isrelatively poor; newer technology LEDs have vastlyimproved light output but are still expensive.

HalogenUse in areas where high light output and long life areconsiderations. Halogen light sources work well in highambient light areas. However, halogen bulbs tend to performunfavorably in high vibration environments.

IncandescentIncandescent light sources are typically the mostinexpensive. They are often used in applications where costis a driving factor. Incandescent bulbs tend to have arelatively short life span. Their light output, while usuallysufficient, is less than that of a halogen or strobe.

StrobesStrobes are known for their exceptional bright burst of lightenergy. A strobe light passes a brief, intense pulse of electriccurrent through a gas, which then emits a brilliant burst oflight. The gas is usually one of two inert gases, xenon orkrypton. Strobe lights are very vibration resistant and willfunction for thousands of hours before requiringreplacement.

The principles of sound and light apply to hazardous locationsignals as they do to regular audible and visual signals. How-ever, an added factor must be taken into consideration - thehazardous environment where the signal will be used.

NOTE: Information in this section is provided to assist in signalselection only. Classification of areas in which equipment is tobe located is the responsibility of the authority having jurisdic-tion.

THE ENVIRONMENTHazardous Location Environments are those indoor or out-door areas where a potential explosion and/or fire may existdue to the presence of flammable gases, liquids or vapors(Class I), combustible dusts (Class II), or ignitable fibers orflyings (Class III). Whatever the reason for the hazardous loca-tion to exist it is essential that every precaution be used to pre-vent ignition of these hazardous atmospheres.

ELECTRICITY - A SOURCE OF IGNITIONAn explosion in a hazardous location atmosphere may resultfrom a simple burst of ignition energy from common electricaldevices. The routine usage of circuit breakers, motor starters,contactors, switches, plugs and receptacles releases energyin the form of arcs and sparks as their contacts close andopen.

The source of an ignition could come from the breakdown inan electrical system or a power surge. Sparks, arcs and heatcould come from loose wire connections in a splice box, or thefailure of insulation from aging or breaking. Static electricity isalso a potential source of ignition.

TEMPERATURESExcessive equipment temperatures can cause a fire or explo-sion if the ignition temperature of the hazardous substance ofconcern is reached. Accumulations of dust, fibers or flyingscan cause further increases in equipment temperatures. Igni-tion temperatures do not correlate with properties that defineClass and Group classifications.

HAZARDOUS LOCATION CLASSIFICATIONSThe following classification definitions are an interpretivesummary based on the 1996 edition of the National ElectricalCode (NEC, NFPA 70). Refer to the latest editions of NFPA497M, NFPA 70 and the UL Hazardous Location EquipmentDirectory for more detailed information.

ClassesThe National Electrical Code has created three classes ofhazardous location:

Class I - Hazardous GasesClass I locations are areas in which flammable gases or va-pors are or may be present in the air in quantities sufficient toproduce explosive or ignitable mixtures.

Class II - Hazardous DustsClass II locations represent areas that are hazardous due tothe presence of combustible dust.

Class III - Hazardous FibersClass III locations have easily ignitable fibers or flyingspresent, but not likely to be suspended in air in quantities suf-ficient to produce ignitable mixtures in the atmosphere.

DivisionsThe Location Classes are broken down by the NFPA into Divi-sions 1 and 2, defining different levels of risk. In general, therisk of there being a hazardous presence of flammable/com-bustible/ignitable materials is higher for Division 1 than forDivision 2. The specifics differ between the three classes (I, IIand III). Equipment suitable for Division 1 is also suitablefor Division 2 locations.

GroupsClass I and II locations are divided by the NFPA into Groupdesignations identifying specific gases, vapors and dusts bycharacteristic similarities that relate to specific equipment con-struction requirements.

Class III locations are not divided into separate group desig-nations.

Class I Groups (see NEC)

Group A. Atmospheres containing acetylene.

Group B. Atmospheres containing hydrogen, fuel and com-bustible process gases containing more than 30 percent hy-drogen by volume, or gases or vapors of equivalent hazardsuch as butadiene, ethylene oxide, propylene oxide, and ac-rolein.

Group C. Atmospheres such as ethyl ether, ethylene, or othergases or vapors of equivalent hazard.

Group D. Atmospheres containing acetone, ammonia, ben-zene, butane, cyclopropane, ethanol, gasoline, hexane,methanol, methane, natural gas, naphtha (petroleum), pro-pane, or gases or vapors of equivalent hazard.

Signaling Devices for Class I LocationsEdwards signaling devices for Class I, Division I hazardouslocations are housed in enclosures that, for the marked groupunder normal atmospheric conditions and non-extreme ambi-ents (-25C to 40C per UL), are built strong enough to containan explosion, if a hazardous vapor of the marked group entersinto the enclosure and ignites, and is constructed with jointsbetween parts designed to inhibit the resultant flame frompropagating out of the enclosure.

The external surface temperature has been evaluated by ULas not exceeding, unless otherwise indicated, 100C in a 40C

ambient with proper electrical connections and circuit protec-tion.

Typical Class I Hazardous Areas

• Spray painting and finishing areas (residue factors to be aconsideration).

• Utility gas plants.• Petroleum refining production plants.• Petroleum dispensing locations.• Dry cleaning facilities.• Dip tanks containing combustibles or flammable liquids.• Plant facilities extracting solvents.• Inhalation anesthetics areas.• Process facilities manufacturing or using pyroxylin

(nitrocellulose) type plastics(Class II as well).

Class II Groups (see NEC)

Group E. Atmospheres contain-ing combustible metal dusts, in-cluding aluminum, magnesium,and their commercial alloys, orother combustible dusts whoseparticle size, abrasiveness andconductivity present similar haz-ards in the use of electricalequipment.

Group F. Atmospheres contain-ing combustible carbonaceousdusts, including carbon black,charcoal, coal, or dusts that havebeen sensitized by other materi-als so that they present an ex-plosion hazard.

Group G. Atmospheres contain-ing combustible dusts not in-cluded in Group E or F, includingflour, grain, wood, plastic, andchemicals.

Signaling Devices for Class IILocationsEdwards Class II Division 1 signaling devices have enclo-sures designed to inhibit entrance of the dust of its markedgroup to ignition sources inside the signaling device and in-hibit escape of sparks from arcing contacts from within thedevice to the outside of its enclosure. The same temperatureinformation as for Class I Division 1 signaling devices applieswith the additional consideration of the affects of dust accumu-lation.

Typical Class II Hazardous Areas

• Flour mills.• Feed mills.• Grain elevators and grain handling facilities.• Aluminum manufacturing and storage areas.• Magnesium manufacturing and storage areas.• Coal preparation and handling facilities.• Starch manufacturing and storage areas.• Confectionery plants.• Pulverizer sugar and cocoa manufacturing, and storage

plants.• Spice grinding and storage plants.

Signaling Devices for Class III

Edwards Class III Division 1 signal enclosures are designedto inhibit the entrance of fibers and flyings and the escape ofsparks from arcing contacts. Same temperature information asfor Class II Div 1 signaling devices.

Typical Class III Hazardous Areas

• Textile mills.• Woodworking plants & furniture manufacturers, except if

wood flour (dust) is present.*• Cotton gins.• Cotton seed milling plants.

• Flax plants.• Carpet manufacturers.*Wood flour (dust) is Class IIGroup G.

IDENTIFICATION OF EQUIPMENTCLASSIFICATIONThe National Electrical Code hasestablished certain equipmentmarking requirements so that thesuitability of equipment for a par-ticular environment can be readilydetermined in the field. The follow-ing points should be kept in mindwhen reviewing equipment mark-ings and specifications - under thesame Class and Group: The Divi-sion classification on UL Listedequipment is not shown on theequipment marking unless theequipment is limited to Division 2areas, where it will bear a “Division2” or “Div. 2” designation indicatingthat it is only suitable for Division 2areas of the particular Class(es)and Group(s) specified. Equipmentsuitable for Division 1 is also suit-able for Division 2.

• Equipment suitable for Class II, Group G Division 1 locationsis also suitable for Class III locations, except for fan cooleddevices where fibers or flyings will reduce the effectiveness ofthe forced air cooling system.

IDENTIFICATION OF HEAT PRODUCING EQUIPMENTA T-Code identification numbering system has been devel-oped which correlates to the equipment temperatures. Thisinformation is important in assessing if the equipment canreach the ignition temperatures of the hazardous atmosphere.Refer to NEC Hazardous Locations section for this table.

SELECTION OF SIGNALS FOR HAZARDOUS LOCATIONSThe signal selected should be UL Listed and marked for atleast the same Hazardous Location Classifications dictated bythe application and its marking should indicate a temperatureless than the ignition temperature of the hazardous sub-stance.
