Roobuck Intrinsically Safe LED helmet beacon

Click2Contact

The Roobuck Intrinsically Safe LED helmet beacon is designed to highlight the wearer’s presence, making them clearly visible and safe at all times.

The circuit is powered by an embedded coin battery. There are three signal modes, including ‘slow flashing’, ‘fast flashing’ and ‘stable’. It can be turned on or off, as well as setting the operating modes, by pressing the push-button.

LED mini-beacons can be easily attached to a helmet. They are lightweight so that the wearer does not notice they are there. The signal can easily propagate 100 m away underground. A flashing operation further enhances the visual effect. The helmet beacon is a completely sealed unit and is robust, specifically designed for coal miners and rescuers.

The product is a disposable unit. Once the battery is running out, the user must dispose of it as they would a general replaceable battery. The operating period is up to 200 h in a flashing mode, corresponding to a 4-week work shift. The ambient temperature is -20 to 40°C.

The beacon is designed and made in Australia and certified by TestSafe in NSW.
