Frequently Asked Questions

Is the 371DST suitable for hazardous areas?

Yes, the Model 371DST Commander® Double Strobe is specifically listed under the "HAZARDOUS LOCATION" category.

What does the IP69K rating signify?

IP69K is the highest IP rating, designed for products regularly exposed to high-pressure and high-temperature washdowns. It ensures protection from powerful, close-range water jets and prevents dust ingress.

Where are IP69K products typically used?

IP69K products are ideal for applications in Food and Beverage, Wastewater, Pharmaceutical, Marine, Medical Facilities, and Medical Equipment Manufacturing.

What water resistance testing do products undergo?

Products endure high-pressure steam jet cleaning and water sprays of 1160–1450 psi at 176°F (80°C). Water is sprayed from 4 angles, 4–6 inches away.

What dust protection does IP69K provide?

IP69K ensures no ingress of dust is permitted. Products are dust-tight, tested in an Arizona A2 Dust chamber for five hours.

What certifications do Federal Signal products have?

Products meet or exceed UL, CSA, CSFM, IECEx, and other global certifications. Federal Signal also holds ISO 9001 Certification.

How do IP69K products benefit operations?

IP69K products reduce failures from water/dust ingress, increasing productivity and decreasing production downtime in harsh environments.

How does IP69K differ from NEMA Type 4?

IP69K protects from close-range, powerful, high-temperature water jets. NEMA Type 4 involves high volume, low pressure, and long-distance water exposure.

How to Install the 371DST Strobe Light

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing and wiring the 371DST Strobe Light in hazardous locations.

Estimated time: 45m

Tools needed:

Screwdriver, Wire strippers, Drill, Multimeter

Supplies needed:

Mounting screws, Terminal connectors, 1” NPT conduit hub, 1” NPT close-up plug

  1. Unpack and Inspect the Light

    Carefully unpack the 371DST Strobe Light and inspect it for any damage that may have occurred during transit. Do not attempt to install if damaged.

  2. Mount the Light
