When we introduced our Terminator line of connection kits, we set the bar of innovation high. The Terminator Beacon end-of-circuit light raises the bar even higher.
End of circuit lights are used to give visual indication that the circuit is energized. Heat tracing circuits often terminate at inaccessible and inconvenient locations. It is an advantage to have a light that can be seen day or night from virtually any location. The “Beacon” has this capability. Our “Beacon” has 32 LED’s and gives superior viewing, day or night, from virtually any vantage point.
Our Terminator DL and ZL kits use a single DIN rail mounted LED. We always felt we could do better. We challenged our R&D group to develop an end of circuit light that was unique and cost effective.
They embraced the challenge and developed the Terminator “Beacon” DE-B and ZE-B end of circuit light.
Heat tracing systems around the world basically operate on (5) standard voltages. Having the correct end of circuit light in stock can be expensive and a logistics nightmare. The “Beacon” operates on every voltage from 100 to 277 volts. If you have it in stock it will work with your heat tracing system.
It is easy to assemble. Requires only a few tools, all of which are commonly used during heat tracing installations.
