Overview

The Federal Signal G-MSC-2C is a Global Series Dual Signal engineered for hazardous location applications. This unit consolidates two audible or visual Global Series signaling devices into a single assembly, featuring a common increased safety "Ex de" field wiring chamber to streamline installation. Its robust construction utilizes a non-metallic, corrosion-resistant GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic) housing, ensuring longevity in challenging environments. The G-MSC-2C is rated for Zone 1, 21, with IECEx, ATEX, Ex d IIC, Ex de IIC, and Ex tb IIIC certifications. It also holds UL and cUL Listing for Class I, Division 2, Groups A, B, C, and D. Offering IP66 enclosure protection, specific configurations like G-LED and G-STR units achieve IP69K compliance. The dual signal design supports independent or tandem wiring of the two integrated devices, or can be configured for redundant alerting systems. Standard M20 cable entries are included, with optional 1/2" NPT and 3/4" NPT adapters, as well as an M25 option, providing flexible connectivity. Available voltages include 120VAC and 24VDC. The G-MSC-2C is ideal for industries requiring reliable signaling in potentially explosive atmospheres, such as oil and gas, chemical processing, and manufacturing facilities. SKU: G-MSC-2C.
