Explosion-Proof
Strobe Light
Model 27XST
Federal Signal’s Model 27XST explosion-proof strobe light
produces 80 high-intensity flashes per minute. This warning light
operates on 24VDC, 120VAC, and 240VAC 50/60Hz.
The 27XST is UL Listed for Class I, Division 1, Groups C & D;
Class II, Division 1, Groups E, F & G; Class I, Division 2, Groups
A, B; and Class III. The 27XST is CSA Certified and Marine Rated.
The 24VDC 27XST features a voltage in-rush limiting PCB design
that provides greater compatibility with factory automation control
systems and less electrical interference with in-rush sensitive devices.
The 27XST is Type 4X rated; constructed to IP66. Corrosion
resistance is achieved with a powder epoxy finish applied over
the copper-free aluminum housing. All exposed hardware is 316
grade stainless steel.
Federal Signal’s Model 27XST has an effective candela
850 and a two million peak candela. A pendant mount is supplied
and a ceiling mount and 90° wall mount are available options. For
easy installation, the mounting box is first installed and the fixture
is then threaded onto the mounting box, making the electrical
connection. Electrical continuity is made when five threads are
engaged.
Federal Signal’s Model 27XST is specifically designed for explosionproof atmospheres and/or corrosive environments. Because it is
easy to install and requires very low maintenance, it is ideal for
use in areas such as oil rigs, mines, refineries, and chemical plants.
