4 Function and device design
4.1 Function
Product series FL6S is designed to provide a visual signal which can be used to alert,
warn or draw attention to an event. Corrosion resistance is a key feature of the device
which is ideally suited for applications in the harshest of environments both onshore and
offshore.
The device must be regarded as a supplementary alarm indicator when used for
alerting/evacuating the occupants of the buildings/structures.
In hazardous areas the devices have explosion protection for ATEX/IECEx Zones 1 & 2
for gas and 21 & 22 for dust. Gas groups covered are IIB & IIC, and dust protection for
IIIC.
The device is not intended for continuos use.
The life of the xenon flash tube is guaranteed for the following number of flashes:
DANGER
Explosion hazard due to modifications and alterations to the device!
Non-compliance results in severe or fatal injuries.
• Do not modify or alter the device.
No liability or warranty for damage resulting from modifications and
alterations.
DANGER
Explosion hazard due to improper use!
Non-compliance results in severe or fatal injuries.
• Use the device only according to the operating conditions described in
