Tunnel lightingLED guidance beacon

Thanks to its 12 LEDs on either side, the BJ guidance beacon acts as a visual guide both in normal conditions and when there is smoke due to a fire. A direct 230 V power supply is also possible – in which case a transformer is inte-grated.

The Mont Blanc tunnel is equipped with the BJ guidance beacon. The emergency lighting in the tunnel was completely revamped following the deadly fire in 1999.

APPLICATIONS

In normal conditions: visual guidance for motorists.

In case of fire: efficient guidance for motorists or pedestrians

and emergency services, even through smoke.

ADVANTAGES

• No maintenance whatsoever

• Very long-lasting diodes (LEDs)

• High tightness level (IP 67) during the whole lifetime of the

guidance beacon

• Very high level of protection against corrosion due to a spe-

cific treatment, identical to the one applied to luminaires

• Resistance to impacts and vibrations

• Compact

• Non-electrostatic material

• Washable with a high pressure jet with no risk of deterioration

DESCRIPTION

The beacon in die cast aluminium includes two sealed win-

dows in polycarbonate or tempered glass, as well as two cir-

cuits each including 12 amber, blue or green LEDs.

The beacon is mounted with stainless steel screws.

Electricity is supplied either by a cable and socket, or by a

compression gland, or by connectors on the back of the bea-

con.

Optional: in the case of a 230V direct power supply, the device

is provided with a box containing the transformer. In this case,

the two screws used to mount the beacon allow access to the

box. Electricity is supplied via a compression gland.

A second compression gland can be installed permitting a

looped feed.

The BJ guidance beacon provides maximum intensity in a 4° angle of vision, which is optimal for both emergency services and motorists or pedestrians heading towards emergency exits.

OPTIONS

• Insulating base to be placed between the unit and its support

• Any RAL colour

• Choice of LED colours

• No box for direct 24V power supply

ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION

In the case of a direct 24V power supply:

- crossover cabling is possible by putting a second compression

gland or a connector behind the head of the device.

When a beacon is unplugged, it is possible to keep the line elec-

trically live by joining the two connectors.

In the case of a 230V power supply:

- the transformer is integrated into the box. A releasable plug is

used to connect the box and the beacon. The transformer can be

very easily accessed via the two screws situated at the front of

the unit.

Consumption: 2 W - 0.08 A

This table shows that the maximum intensity is reached in a 4°

angle of vision, which corresponds to the position of motorists

in normal traffic conditions, or of pedestrians who are heading

towards emergency exits.
