BExDCS110-L1D
Flameproof Combined Sounder / LED Beacon
1) Introduction
The BExDCS110-L1D is a flameproof combined sounder /
LED beacon which is certified to meet the requirements of the
ATEX directive 94/9/EC and the IECEx Scheme. The
combined unit produces both loud audio warning signals and
visual warning signals that can be used in hazardous areas
where potentially flammable atmospheres may be present.
Thirty-two different first stage audio alarm sounds can be
selected by internal switches, and each one can be externally
changed to a second or third stage alarm sound (
see tone
table on Page 5
). The sounder produces output levels in the
110dB(A) range. The beacon section has nine different
selectable flash patterns including a steady ON state and can
also be remotely switched to a second and third flash pattern
(
see flash pattern table on page 5).
The unit can be used in
Zone 1 and Zone 2 areas with gases in groups IIA and IIB
and with Temperature Classifications of T1, T2, T3 and T4
and can also be used in Zone 21 and Zone 22 areas for
combustible dusts and has an IP rating of IP 67 and a surface
temperature rating of T115ºC (T100ºC at +55ºC).
2) Marking

Zones, Gas Group, Category and Temperature
Classification
The BExDCS110-L1D unit has been certified Ex d IIB T4 for
Ta –50°C to +70ºC for gas and Ex tD A21 IP6X T115ºC
based on max. Ta of +70ºC for dust. This means that the
units can be installed in locations with the following
conditions:-
Area Classification:
Zone 1
Explosive gas air mixture likely to occur in
normal operation.
Zone 2
Explosive gas air mixture not likely to occur,
and if it does, it will only exist for a short time.
