STX beacons can be installed either surface mounted using the fixing plate supplied, or panel mounted using the two mounting studs and nuts provided.

Offering an optimum level of output, the units have compact physical dimensions of 76mm diameter, with a height of 49mm panel mounted, or 65mm for surface mounted.

Two voltage versions are available: STX-24DA (10V to 28V ac or dc) and the STX-230A (115V to 240Vac).

The beacons are supplied prewired and ready to install,with 550mm connection cables, coloured red and black for the low voltage units and brown and blue for the high voltage units.

Lens colours available are blue, amber, red, green and clear, and beacons are fitted with a xenon tube that delivers a bright, ‘eye catching’ 1.5 - 2.5 Joules output with a flash rate of once per second.

A high level of ingress protection means STX beacons can safely be installed inside and or outside as fully weatherproof units.
