Frequently asked questions
Common questions about WERMA from 3G Electric.
What is the operating voltage range for WERMA KombiSIGN tower light assemblies?
WERMA KombiSIGN tower light assemblies, such as the 3-tier models (SKU 452T34, 452T30, 452R58) and 4-tier model (SKU 452T92), are designed to operate at 24V AC/DC. This dual-voltage capability allows them to be used in both AC and DC control circuits common in industrial automation. The flashing light modules (e.g., SKU 452R75) and sounder modules (e.g., SKU 452R96) also operate at 24V DC. Always verify the specific voltage rating on the product label before installation.
Are WERMA tower light modules interchangeable between the KombiSIGN 40 and 71/72 series?
WERMA tower light modules are series-specific. The KombiSIGN 40 series (e.g., flashing module SKU 452R75, sounder module SKU 452R96) uses a 40 mm diameter base, while the KombiSIGN 71/72 series uses a larger 70 mm diameter base. Modules from one series are not mechanically or electrically compatible with the other. Wall-mount brackets (e.g., SKU 452T75, 452T63) are also designed specifically for the 71/72 series. Always select components from the same series to ensure proper fit and function.
What IP rating do WERMA tower light assemblies typically have?
WERMA KombiSIGN tower light assemblies and modules are generally rated IP65, meaning they are dust-tight and protected against water jets from any direction. This makes them suitable for use in wet or dusty industrial environments, such as food processing plants, automotive assembly lines, or outdoor installations. The IP65 rating applies to the assembled unit when properly installed with the included gaskets and cable glands. Check the specific product datasheet for exact ratings, as some modules may vary.
Can I add a sounder tier to an existing WERMA tower light assembly?
Yes, WERMA tower light assemblies are modular, allowing you to add or replace tiers. For example, the 4-tier assembly (SKU 452T92) includes a sounder tier, while 3-tier assemblies (e.g., SKU 452T34) do not. You can purchase a separate sounder module, such as the siren sounder (SKU 452R96) for the KombiSIGN 40 series, and integrate it into the stack. Ensure the sounder module matches the series (40 or 71/72) and voltage (24V) of your existing assembly. The sounder tier typically mounts between light tiers or at the top of the stack.
What is the sound output level of WERMA siren sounder modules?
WERMA siren sounder modules, such as the model for KombiSIGN 40 (SKU 452R96), produce an intermittent siren tone with a sound pressure level typically around 85 dB at 1 meter. This level is sufficient for audible alerts in moderate-noise industrial environments. The sound operating mode is intermittent (pulsing) to distinguish it from continuous alarms. For higher noise areas, consider using multiple sounders or a louder model. Always refer to the product datasheet for exact decibel ratings and frequency characteristics.
How do I mount a WERMA tower light assembly on a wall or machine?
WERMA offers wall-mount brackets specifically for the KombiSIGN 71/72 series, such as the bracket base (SKU 452T75) and wall mount bracket (SKU 452T63). These brackets attach to a flat surface using screws (not included) and provide a mounting point for the tower light stack. The bracket includes a cable gland for routing wiring. For the KombiSIGN 40 series, a separate mounting base is typically used. Ensure the bracket is compatible with your tower light series and that the mounting surface can support the weight of the assembly.
