Strobes
Posted in Conventional Protection
Ever wondered why aircraft strobe lights have a double flash – two flashes close together followed by a slight delay? It's psychology – the first flash gets your eye attention and the second flash confirms the warning. The ASTrobe features this psychological attention grabbing effect, which may be user selectable by simple DIP switch settings.
The ASTrobe is AST's sounder/strobe unit that combines the excellent audible quality of the ASTounder with a wide angle lens offering complete frontal & lateral visual indication of an alarm. The ASTrobe offers a low a profile housing with pleasing aesthetic design that is suitable for all areas except flammable dust, liquid and gas locations. It uses the same IP65 base configurations with the same wiring benefits as the ASTounder – thus giving duplicity across the AST electronic signalling range. |

- Flexibility, with two mounting base options. The standard base model provides low profile features for recessed and ‘back entry’ wiring. For applications requiring surface mount wiring and or a higher level of protection, the deep base IP65 is available.
- Screw fixing into the base together with a rubber seal gives excellent resistance to moisture and dust ingress.
- Separate tone, flash rate and volume configuration.
- Extra long life solid state flash array puts an end to expensive short term xenon flash tube failure.
- Programmable flash rates with unique double flash “attention grabber” technology.
- Micro-current technology provides super low current draw from the strobe/sounder combo – no more expensive UPS devices.
