E2S manufactures warning signals – horns and strobes – for hazardous area use. World leading independent manufacturer of high performance audible and visual signals for commercial, industrial, marine, onshore and offshore hazardous locations.
E2S D2x presentation video synopsis:
In this presentation, E2S introduces their D2x range of compact audible and visual warning signals tailored for hazardous location applications (specifically Zones 2 & 22 / Divisions 2).
- The video highlights:
- The core design of the D2x series: robust die-cast, marine-grade aluminium enclosures with high ingress protection ratings (IP 66, Type 4/4X/3R/13) enabling use in harsh industrial environments.
- A spectrum of models: from horn-sounders (e.g., D2xS1) delivering up to 116 dB(A) sound levels, through horn/strobe combinations (e.g., D2xC1X05 or D2xC1X10) with Xenon strobes of 5 J or 10 J output.
- Multi-stage signalling capability: devices offer up to four remotely triggered alarm stages, user-changeable coloured lenses for strobes (Amber, Blue, Red, etc.), 64 selectable tones (continuous, intermittent, sweeping, alternating) and automatic synchronisation across multiple devices.
- Global certification and compliance: D2x units are approved for Zone 2/22 and Class I/II Division 2 hazardous locations under IECEx, ATEX, NEC/CEC standards, making them suitable for global deployment.
- Practical benefits emphasised: low-installation cost (loop in/out cabling), compact footprint (e.g., 130 mm wide), high reliability and long-term durability in industrial environments.
- Why this matters: For instrumentation, safety and calibration service providers, the D2x series offers a strong option where hazardous-area signalling is required; thus helping customers reduce ownership cost, meet regulatory demands, and maintain reliable operations in demanding environments.
