Product Description
The Blazon3 is a top - mounted strobe light and annunciator that combines a xenon lamp with an audible annunciator (90/85dB). When any signal lamp button on stations in the same circuit is pressed, it activates right away. The xenon lamp is always connected. You can set the audible annunciator to constant, pulsed, or turn it off. Key features include the ability to switch the audible mode, a 4 - second post - trigger sustain circuit, a 2Hz flash rate with 8 flashes per cycle, and it connects to the headset intercom system like a belt pack. Technical specs: Supply voltage is 24 - 30 VDC nominal, switch - on voltage is at least 8 Volts, switch - off voltage is at most 5 Volts, switch - on time is 75 milliseconds, switch - off time is 4 seconds, flash rate is 2Hz with 0.75 joules of flash power, input impedance is 1 Meg Ohm, power consumption varies from 21.1mA (ready) to 56 mA (strobe only) and 108mA (strobe & annunciator), size is 3.70x4.30x5.80 in. (93.98x109.22x147.32 mm), and weight is 20oz. (0.567Kg).
Using the Blazon3 is easy. First, make sure it's properly connected to the headset intercom system, just like you'd connect a belt pack. When someone presses a signal lamp button on a station in the same circuit, the Blazon3 will turn on. You can choose how the audible annunciator works - set it to be constantly on, pulsed, or turn it off completely. As for the strobe light, it has a nice 2Hz flash rate. When using it, keep in mind that the supply voltage should be between 24 and 30 VDC. If the voltage goes below 5 Volts, it'll switch off, and it needs at least 8 Volts to switch on. For maintenance, keep it clean and check the connections regularly. Since it has a 4 - second post - trigger sustain circuit, don't be alarmed if it stays on briefly after being triggered. Also, be aware of its power consumption, which varies depending on whether it's just the strobe or both the strobe and annunciator working.
