Klaxon has launched the latest version of its Syrex 9M electronic sounder, which has an IP65 rating, sealing the durable unit against the ingress of dust and water.

A full range of control equipment is also available including hardwire and radio-controlled units.
Ruggedly constructed for outdoor use and designed for long life, the reliable unit has a powerful sound for wide area coverage, and emits universally recognised emergency signals.

With sound outputs reaching 145dB at one metre, Klaxon's motor-driven range of wide area sirens can be heard up to 6km away and are ideal for isolated or spread-out installations such as nuclear processing facilities, petrochemical refineries, mines, harbours and airports.

Solenoid-operated shutter mechanisms, fitted to the heads of the sirens, are also available to provide a clearly defined and characteristic signal in conjunction with a programmed controller.
