BExBGL1D Flameproof LED Beacon

 

For use in Flammable Gas and Dust Atmospheres

 

 

1)  Introduction 

 
The  BExBGL1D  is  a  flameproof  LED  beacon  which  is 

certified to meet the ATEX directive 94/9/EC and the IECEx 
scheme.  The  beacon  produces  visual  warning  signals  and 

can be used in hazardous areas where potentially flammable 
gas and dust atmospheres may be present. The BExBGL1D 

LED  beacon  has  nine  different  flash  patterns  including  a 
steady  ON  state  and  can  also  be  remotely  switched  to  a 

second  and  third  flash  pattern.  The  beacon  can  be  used  in 
Zone 1 and Zone 2 areas with gases in groups IIA, IIB and 
IIC and Temperature Classifications of T1, T2, T3, and T4. It 

can  also  be  used  in  a  temperature  classification  T5,  if  the 
upper  ambient  temperature  is  restricted  to  +40ºC.  The  unit 

can 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 T120ºC or T105ºC if the upper ambient 
temperature  is  restricted  to  +55ºC  and  T95ºC  if  the  upper 
ambient temperature is restricted to +40ºC. 

 

2)  Marking 

 

All  units  have  a  rating  label,  which  carries  the  following 
important information:-

4)  Installation Requirements

 

 
The  led  beacons  must  be  installed  in  accordance  with  the 

latest  issues  of  the  relevant  parts  of  the  BS  EN  60079 
specifications  or  the  equivalent  IEC  specifications  – 

Selection,  Installation  and  maintenance  of  electrical 
apparatus for use in potentially explosive atmospheres (other 
than  mining  applications  or  explosive  processing  and 

manufacture):-

The installation of the units must also be in accordance with 
any  local  codes  that  may  apply  and  should  only  be  carried 

out  by  a  competent  electrical  engineer  who  has  the 
necessary training. 

 

5)  Zones,  Gas  Group,  Category,  IP  Rating  and 

Temperature Classification 

 

The BExBGL1D beacons have been certified Ex d IIC T4 for 
Ta –50ºC to +70ºC and Ex d IIC T5 for Ta –50ºC to +40ºC for 

gas and IP67 T120ºC Ta < +70ºC,  T105ºC Ta < +55ºC and
