Beacon - Sounder Combinations

Beacon sounder combinations are dual function warning devices. They integrate a beacon lamp and an audible sounder to form an audio visual alarm.

How do beacon sounder combinations work?

Beacon sounder combinations come with different tones incorporating high frequencies, low frequencies and industry-standard frequency patterns. They have different coloured lenses to give an enhanced warning signal. They also have a wide range of options available for both indoor and outdoor applications. Some beacon sounder combinations are equipped with volume control and tunable features. Beacons may be constructed with halogen bulbs similar to those used in xenon flashtubes or LED floodlights.

What are beacon sounder combinations used for?

Beacon sounder combinations are often used in emergency situations such as fire evacuations. You will find them in public areas and buildings such as:

• Industrial parks
• Schools
• Offices
• Warehouses
• Institutional buildings
• Laboratories

Beacon sounder combinations can also be used for communication, such as the status of an airport, by the rotational pattern or color of the beacon. They are also used in emergency vehicles such as police cars, fire engines and ambulances to attract the attention of other road users.
