Signal Towers

Pilot devices provide control and condition monitoring of different types of processes, equipment and machinery in industrial and commercial applications. They are used for communication from a machine to an operator or from an operator to a machine. Pilot devices can be an audio or visual indicator, or an actuator that is used to control the flow of energy to a process. Visual indicators are: pilot lights, signal towers, strobes and beacons. Audio indictors are: buzzers and sounder horns. Actuators are: push buttons, selector switches, toggle switches and potentiometers.

Beacons and signal towers are used in a variety of industrial automation applications. They provide operators of machinery a clear visual indication of the machine’s status. Signal towers and beacons generally come in five different colors. Red can indicate an emergency stop or machine fault. Yellow can indicate a warning. Green can indicate normal operation. Blue can indicate a help request and white can be a user-defined condition. 

Schneider Electric Harmony Tower Lights and Beacons provide long-distance indication of the operation status or sequences of machines using lights and buzzers. Control the flash rate, color configuration, pattern, and rotation for custom signaling. LEDs increase attention and brightness while extending the life of the tower light. Pre-wired and assembled devices simplifies and reduces installation time.
