A Sounder Beacon is an alarm which has both audio and visual properties and which is usually used in emergency situations, such as fire alarms for evacuations or on emergency vehicles to alert road users. The Sounder emits a loud audible alarm to raise alert to a hazard, while the Beacon provides a clear visual alert - usually by a flashing indicator light through a coloured lens. Conventional Sounder Beacons are often used in commercial and industrial sectors and can be found in public places such as schools, warehouses, offices, construction sites, laboratories and industrial parks.

### How do Sounder Beacons work?

The audio and visual alarms in Sounder Beacons are integrated, making it an enhanced warning device. They can come with different tones incorporating high frequencies, low frequencies and industry-standard frequency patterns. They have different coloured lenses to give an improved warning signal. There is a wide range of alarm system equipment options available for both indoor and outdoor use. Some Sounder Beacons are equipped with volume control and tunable features. Beacons may be constructed with halogen bulbs similar to those used in xenon flashtubes or LED floodlights.

### What's the coverage area of a sounder beacon?

Typically, the audio range of a sounder beacon will be between 5 and 15 decibels (dB (A)) above the ambient noise level. There are many considerations when working out the coverage of a sounder beacon, for example, you'll need to take into account any noise like the sound of people or machinery.

Clifford & Snell Sounder Beacons | RS

<p>Clifford & Snell celebrates a world-leading position in the development of audible signalling devices. Pioneering early technologies for electronic sounders a century ago, Clifford & Snell's sounder beacons are grounded in engineering experience. They feature durable designs which perform in even the harshest industrial environments. For a reliable signalling device, opt for Clifford & Snell.</p><h2>What are sounder beacons?</h2><p>Sounder beacons are signalling devices which have both audio and visual production capabilities. They feature a sounder mechanism which emits a loud alarm to complement a visual alert created with a flashing bulb and coloured lens. Some sounder beacons can be programmed to emit a variety of sound patterns and they come with different lens colours to suit application requirements.</p><h2>Why are sounder beacons useful?</h2><p>When compared to beacons or electronic sounders, which only produce one signal modality, sounder beacons are generally more effective. A disadvantage of electronic sounders is that industrial environments are often loud, which can render sounder signalling devices less effective. While beacons do not share this disadvantage, they do not alert personnel that cannot see the beacon. Sounder beacons combine the two technologies to reduce the eventuality of personnel not receiving the warning signal.</p><h2>Choosing a Clifford & Snell sounder beacon</h2><p>When choosing from our Clifford & Snell sounder beacons, consider lens colour, maximum sounder volume, and mounting style. Create your desired specification using the filters below.</p>
