In challenging outdoor environments, visibility is critical. PATLITE’s new outdoor-rated flashing beacon, the GL10 Series, is a valuable asset for these kinds of applications.

From Extreme Weather to Rigorous Cleaning Processes

The GL10 Series is a rugged, outdoor-rated flashing beacon designed for demanding industries like construction and agricultural machinery. Ideal for outdoor use, it features an IP69K rating, ensuring the beacon can withstand dust, extreme weather and high-temperature, high-pressure washdowns.

The beacon's construction also features exceptional resistance to vibration and impact, with vibration resistance rated at 110m/s² and impact resistance at 1,000m/s², making the series ideal for industries where machinery is subject to constant movement.

Visibility and Signaling Capabilities

The GL10 Series ensures operational statuses are visible even in intense sunlight. It incorporates a multi-colored design with three vibrant colors — red, amber and green — unlocking effective communication of operational statuses and enhancing safety and efficiency on job sites.

The beacon also has two control options:

• Voltage Control Model, featuring three fixed flash patterns.
• CAN Communication Controlled Model, offering 13 distinct flash patterns and four levels of dimming. This mode uses the CAN communication protocol, enabling easy integration with construction and agricultural machinery. By enabling real-time monitoring and providing access to operating statuses, it also enhances situational awareness for operators in these industries.

Advanced Features 

The GL10 Series has a unique ventilation function that prevents fogging due to condensation, ensuring optimal visibility even in environments with fluctuating temperatures and humidity levels. The beacon's ability to project three colors from a single unit also simplifies installation and reduces costs, making it an ideal choice for industrial facilities aiming to optimize efficiency without sacrificing functionality.

Additional features include:

• Operating ambient temperature: -40 to +85°C.
• Durable, integrated globe structure.
• Efficient light distribution, maximizing the luminous intensity with less heat.
• Compliance with international standards like ISO 13766-1 for EMC and ISO 16750 for environmental testing for vehicles.
