824 Series Multi-Strobe Beacon

PRODUCT OVERVIEW

The TOMAR 824 Series is a medium-profile, multi-flash xenon strobe beacon designed for demanding industrial environments. Customers can easily switch between double-flash and quad-flash operation, making it adaptable to a wide range of signaling needs.

Built for reliability, the 824 Series features universal mounting, a full-size 360° Lexan® lens, a solid-state regulated power supply, and a heavy-duty xenon strobe lamp. This ensures maximum light output and long service life—even in harsh conditions.

Reliable, High-Output Xenon Strobe Light for Industrial Signaling

Each beacon is built on a fully potted Lexan® multi-purpose mounting base, making it vibration- and water-resistant. A plug-in xenon strobe lamp and optional photocell allow for easy maintenance and automatic nighttime dimming, reducing intensity when full brightness is not required.

Why Choose the 824 Series?

• Adaptable signaling: Easily switch between double- or quad-flash operation.
• High visibility: Up to 1300 Effective Candlepower (ECP) for maximum impact.
• Durability you can trust: Fully potted base and Lexan® housing resist water and vibration.
• Low maintenance: Plug-in strobe lamp and optional photocell simplify service and extend lifespan.
• Built for tough environments: Proven performance in industrial and outdoor applications.

Power Protection

• DC Power: Units feature polarity protection and built-in filters to protect against radio interference and spike voltages.
• AC Power: Units are designed to withstand multiple line transient spikes of up to 6000V without damage.

Architect and Engineer Specifications

The visual signaling beacon shall be Tomar model 824 or approved equal. The light source shall be a plug-in field replaceable xenon strobe lamp. The beacon shall have a field selectable double or quad flash rate of 68 to 72 double flashes per minute, or 58 to 62 quad flashes per minute. The warning beacon shall have a Lexan® lens and universal mount base. The DC voltage units are to have polarity protection, and must have built-in RFI filters to protect against radio interference and spike voltages. All beacons must have fully potted power supply and base. The AC units shall be designed to withstand multiple line transient spikes of 6000V without damage. Light intensity is to be 950 effective candelas in double-flash mode, and 1300 effective candelas in quad-flash mode. Voltage ranges shall be 12-28VDC, 120 VAC, and 240VAC. Strobe light shall be designed to accept a dome guard and mounting bracket.

NOTE
*ECP (Effective Candlepower) is the intensity that would appear to an observer if the light were burning steadily.
**Peak Candlepower is the maximum light intensity generated by a flashing light during its light pulse.
