Ingress Protection
Follow instructions according to the approvals applied.
ATEX / IECEx & UKEx Requirements Only
If a high IP (Ingress Protection) rating is required then a
suitable sealing washer must be fitted under the cable
glands or blanking plugs. A minimum ingress protection
rating of IP6X must be maintained for installations in
explosive dust atmospheres.
NEC / CEC Requirements Only
If a high IP (Ingress Protection) rating is required then a
suitable sealing washer must be fitted under the cable
glands or blanking plugs. A minimum ingress protection
rating of IP6X must be maintained for installations in
explosive dust atmospheres.
Adapters
The GNEx Beacon Range can be supplied with the following
types of adapters:
M20 to 1/2
”
NPT
M20 to 3/4
” NPT
M20 to M25
It is important to note that stopping plugs cannot be fitted
onto adapters, only directly onto the M20 entries.
Any other adapters used must be suitably rated as per the
applicable standards.
8) Flash Pattern Settings
The GNExB2 beacon can produce different flash patterns as
shown in Table 4. The flash patterns are selected by
operation of the flash setting DIP switch on the PCB, Fig 6.
For SIL 2 operation, only the 1Hz Flash rate is approved.

9) End of Line Monitoring (DC Units)
All DC units have a blocking diode fitted in their supply input
lines. An end of line monitoring diode or an end of line
monitoring resistor can be connected across the +ve and
–
ve
terminals in the flameproof chamber. If an end of line resistor
is used it must have a minimum resistance value of 3k3 ohms
and a minimum wattage of 0.5W or a minimum resistance
value of 500 ohms and a minimum wattage of 2W.
The resistor must be connected directly across the +ve and -
ve terminals as shown in the following drawing. The resistor
leads should be kept as short as possible.

SIL2 line monitoring module product version: see section 19
for standard default values and product coding. See
document D191-06-621 for associated wiring diagram.
10) Interchangeable & Spare Parts
The beacon lens is interchangeable, contact European
Safety Systems Ltd for a replacement lens available in
various colours.
The guard is an integral part of the protection and must be
reassembled exactly the same way as it was disassembled.
To change the lens, unscrew the M5 socket head screws and
remove the M5 screws, M5 spring & flat washers.
Warning
–
Hot surfaces. External surfaces
and internal components may be hot after
operation, take care when handling the
equipment.
Warning
–
high-intensity light source. Avoid
looking directly at the light source for
extended periods of time.
