Overview

The Federal Signal Global Series Extension Box Kit (G-KIT-EXTB) is a crucial component for expanding the capabilities of your industrial signaling systems. Designed as part of the highly regarded Global Series, this kit provides a robust and reliable solution for creating multi-unit configurations in demanding environments. It enables installers to seamlessly couple single unit Global Series "Ex de" models to other "Ex de" models, offering unparalleled flexibility in system design and deployment. This Extension Box Kit includes the essential e-Box unit, specifically designed without terminal blocks, along with two (2) M20 Plugs. This configuration is ideal for scenarios where custom wiring or integration with existing terminal block systems is required. The absence of pre-installed terminal blocks allows for greater customization and adaptation to specific project needs, ensuring a perfect fit for your unique application. Key benefits of utilizing the G-KIT-EXTB include: * **Enhanced System Scalability:** Effortlessly expand your existing Global Series installations to accommodate more signaling devices or complex configurations. * **Field Configurability:** Empower your installation teams with the ability to create multi-unit setups directly on-site, reducing lead times and increasing project efficiency. * **Robust Construction:** Built to the high standards expected from Federal Signal, this kit is engineered to withstand harsh industrial conditions, ensuring long-term reliability and performance. * **Seamless Integration:** Designed to couple with other Global Series "Ex de" models, guaranteeing compatibility and a secure, integrated system. While multi-unit configurations can be ordered pre-assembled to customer specifications, offering the advantage of reduced on-site wiring and installation time, the G-KIT-EXTB provides the flexibility for field assembly. This is particularly beneficial for projects with evolving requirements or when immediate expansion is necessary. Please note that this kit cannot be field assembled to "Ex d" models, ensuring proper safety and compliance for hazardous area applications. Federal Signal has a long-standing reputation for producing high-quality audible and visual signaling devices that are trusted in critical applications worldwide. The Global Series exemplifies this commitment to excellence, offering advanced features and durable construction for industries such as oil and gas, petrochemical, manufacturing, mining, and transportation. The G-KIT-EXTB is a testament to this legacy, providing installers and system integrators with the tools they need to build reliable, scalable, and compliant signaling solutions. Its inclusion of M20 plugs ensures secure cable entry, further enhancing the integrity of your industrial communication and safety systems.
