Felixstowe likes hooters
December 1st 2008 The new E2S Hootronic,
from European Safety
Systems, has been
successfully trialled at the
Port of Felixstowe, where
the cranes cannot
operate without a
functioning warning
device. The port's
cranes currently use
traditional electromechanical
hooters,
which have several
moving parts and
are prone to mechanical
failure. The Port of
Felixstowe is now enjoying
the benefits of replacing
failed traditional electromechanical
hooters with the
new Hootronic.
Reliability, performance,
maintenance and running
costs have always been a
concern for applications that
require the traditional
signalling sounds of hooters,
buzzers, bells and sirens.
Now using the latest in SMD
class D amplifier technology
and digital to analogue
conversion, the E2S
Hootronic can reliably
replicate all of these sounds
in one product.
Hootronic has no moving
parts and is maintenance
free. It is continuously rated,
has low inrush current and
has a very high output up to
124dB(A) at 1 metre. It has a
large termination area with
multiple cable entries if
required, generates no back
EMF and can be configured
with a choice of five first
stage warning sounds, each
with two additional remotely
selectable alarm stages. More articles from European Safety Systems Ltd: |
