Conventional Audible Visual Devices

Sounders with supplementary indicator

> Product Overview
KAC’s conventional Sounder Beacon is ideal for applications where a sounder is required as the primary method of
alarm, but a supplementary light indicator would also be of benefit. The product features a new folded horn design,
LED technology and advanced optics, providing outstanding sound output and supplementary light indication
at very low current draw. The ENscape sounder beacon delivers outstanding quality, reliability and extended
operational life, making it the ideal choice for a wide range of applications.
