E2S has introduced a new option for its BEx range of explosion proof sounders. A new design of output horn turns the sound 90˚ into a radial, omni-directional pattern without reducing the unit’s sound output levels. This is especially suited to combined sounder/beacon units that are normally installed with the beacon at the top and the horn facing downwards so that the sound output is pointing directly at the floor, limiting its range and impact. In addition to improving the effectiveness of the BEx combined units, the radial horn offers a smaller footprint than the directional one.
