1. INTRODUCTION
The Syrex IS-XN is an ATEX certified intrinsically safe
beacon which will produce a visual warning in a hazardous
area. Red, Amber, Green and Blue output models are
available.
2. DESCRIPTION
The device will start to flash when power is applied to
ter and -. The beacon has two flash rates one double
flash per second and two double flashes per second. The
flash rate is selected by setting an internal pin header. The
unit is factory set to produce two double flashes per second.
3. SUPPLY VOLTAGE
The Syrex IS-XN beacon has been designed to operate in a
hazardous area via a 28V 300 ohm ATEX certified Zener
barrier or galvanic isolator. The beacon may be tested or
used in safe areas without a Zener barrier or galvanic
isolator, but at supply voltages above 16V the internal current
limit will function and the brightness may be reduced. The
beacon should not be continuously operated without a barrier
or isolator with a supply voltage greater than 16V.
4. INTRINSIC SAFETY CERTIFICATION
4.1 ATEX certificate
The Syrex IS-XN beacon complies with the following
standards:-
EN50014 : 1997 + A1 and A2
EN50020 : 2002

T1, T2, T3 and T4.
3) The equipment is only certified for use in ambient
temperatures in the range -40
o
C to +60
o
C and
should not be used outside this range.
4) The certificate number has an ‘X’ suffix, which
indicates that the certificate contains one of more
special conditions for safe use. Those installing or
inspecting the equipment should refer to this section
of the certificate.

related device (as referred to by Directive 94/9/EC
Annex II, clause 1.5).
6) Installation of this equipment shall be carried out by
suitably-trained personnel in accordance with the
applicable code of practice.
7) Repair of this equipment shall only be carried out by
the manufacturer or in accordance with the
applicable code of practice.
8) The certification of this equipment relies on the
following materials used in its construction:
Enclosure:
ABS Plastic
Lens:
Polycarbonate
If the equipment is likely to come into contact with
aggressive substances, then it is the responsibility of
the user to take suitable precautions that prevent it
from being adversely affected, thus ensuring that the
type of protection is not compromised.
“Aggressive substances” - e.g. acidic liquids or
gases that may attack metals, or solvents that may
affect polymeric materials.
“Suitable precautions” - e.g. regular checks as part
of routine inspections or establishing from the
material’s data sheet that it is resistant to specific
chemicals.
The Syrex IS-XN beacon is CE marked for
compliance with the European Explosive
Atmospheres Directive 94/9/EC and the
European EMC Directive 89/336/EEC
