The sound selection comprises 32 interna-tionally recognised tones, which can be set via a five-way DIL switch.
The unit’s enclosure is made of lightweight GRP finished in durable red paint; the horn’s flare is made of a tough, durable ABS. The YO9 series is ATEX and IECEx-approved for use in zones 1, 2, 21, and 22 gas and dust. Moreover, the devices are certified for marine use. They are suitable for a -20 to 60°C temperature range; or for a -60 to 60°C temperature range on request. In addition to models for 24 and 48VDC operation, an AC unit requiring a 115 or 230VAC supply is available.
