Cooper Wheelock DB3 Series User manual

Horns - Up to 108dB(A), Hazardous Location, Weatherproof
DB3 Range
ATEX
Architects and Engineers Specifications
This range of light weight all GRP, explosionprrof horns is intended
for use in potentially explosive atmospheres and has been
designed with high ingress protection to cope with the harsh
environmental conditions found offshore and onshore in the oil,
gas and petrochemical industries.
The flamepaths, flare and the body, are manufactured completely
from a UV stable glass reinforced polyester. Stainless steel
screws and sinter are incorporated thus ensuring a corrosion free
product. A tapered flamepath is used to overcome the problems
of assembly of parallel spigot flamepaths.
An optional Exe terminal chamber is available.
