Products cranes mills mines PA1 Patrol series Pfannenberg sounders
Pfannenberg, Inc. has introduced the PA 1 PATROL Series Sounder, suitable for audible alarm applications on cranes, in mines, mills, and factories, and in other heavy industry.
Sounders in the series reach a 105 dB (A) Max sound pressure level through a user controlled rotary volume switch and offer 80 pre-programmed alarm tones with 4 stages for distinctive signaling of specific events.
Its electromagnetic sound capsule technology includes a share of low frequency side bands in the acoustic signal for excellent sound penetration of walls and doors for highly effective alarming, the company says.
A polycarbonate/ABS impact-proof housing achieves an IK08 impact rating. It has a captive fastener plus electrical wiring that avoids the need for a 3-hand assembly, providing plug and play functionality.
The sounder features a stay-in-place shape-molded gasket and can be surface or flush-panel mounted and is available in red or grey housing. Certifications include UL, cUL, MED, CE, VdS, GL, and EN 54-3.
