The BA386 beacon is significantly less expensive than the traditional Xenon devices, although it has a similar light output, flashes more frequently and is available in three different colours.
The beacon may be used alone, or in conjunction with a BEKA BR385 intrinsically safe sounder.
The high efficiency of the BA386 enables the beacon and the sounder to be powered from a common Zener barrier or galvanic isolator. In combined systems this eliminates one barrier or isolator and associated wiring, thus simplifying the installation and further reducing costs.
