What is the IP69K rating?
IP69K is the highest standard on the Ingress Protection (IP) rating scale. It is designed for products regularly exposed to high-pressure and high-temperature washdowns.
What applications are suitable for IP69K products?
IP69K products are ideal for applications in food and beverage, wastewater, pharmaceutical, marine, medical facilities, and medical equipment manufacturing.
What certifications do Federal Signal products have?
Federal Signal products meet or exceed UL, CSA, CSFM, IECEx, and other global certifications. The company is also ISO 9001 Certified, demonstrating commitment to quality.
What are the benefits of using IP69K products?
IP69K products help reduce product failures due to water/dust ingress. This increases productivity and decreases production downtime.
How does IP69K differ from NEMA Type 4?
IP69K protects from close-range, powerful, high-temperature water jets and ensures no dust ingress. NEMA Type 4 involves high volume, low pressure water from a longer distance.
What testing do Federal Signal IP69K products undergo?
Products are dust-tight tested in an Arizona A2 Dust chamber. They also undergo high-pressure steam jet cleaning with water sprays of 1160–1450 psi at 176°F (80°C) from 4–6 inches.
How to Install the SSTX3-MV Electronic Siren
This guide provides step-by-step instructions for safely installing and configuring the SSTX3-MV electronic siren in hazardous locations.
Estimated time: 1h
Tools needed:
Screwdriver, Wire strippers, Drill, Multimeter
Supplies needed:
Mounting screws, Terminal connectors, Wire
- Unpack and Inspect the Siren
Carefully unpack the SSTX3-MV siren and inspect it for any shipping damage. If damage is found, file a claim with the carrier.
- Select Mounting Location
Choose a flat surface for mounting the siren, ensuring it is free of obstructions for optimal sound distribution. The siren should be mounted horizontally or slightly downward.
- Mount the Siren
Remove the mounting bracket from the siren. Use the bracket as a template to mark drill positions on the mounting surface. Drill holes and secure the bracket with appropriate screws.
- Attach the Siren to the Bracket
Reattach the siren to the mounting bracket using the previously removed bolts and washers. Ensure it is positioned for desired sound coverage and tighten securely.
- Route Wiring
Route the power and activation wires through the NPT threaded openings in accordance with local electrical codes. Ensure wire size is appropriate for the operating current.
- Connect Power Supply
Set the voltage selector switch to the desired voltage. Connect the AC or DC power leads to the appropriate terminals on the connector plug. Ensure no loose strands are outside the connector.
- Connect Tone Activation Wires
Wire a remote switch to the tone activation terminals on the printed circuit board. Ensure compliance with local electrical codes and that the total loop resistance does not exceed 1000 ohms.
- Reinstall Housing Cover
Carefully reinstall the housing cover, ensuring it is tightened securely to maintain the explosion-proof integrity of the unit.
- Test the Siren
After installation, power on the siren and test the sound system to ensure proper operation. Verify that the selected tone activates as expected.
