Port hooters
September 1st 2008 The new E2S Hootronic from
European Safety Systems has
been successfully trialled at the
Port of Felixstowe, where the
cranes cannot operate without a
functioning warning device. The
port's cranes currently use
traditional electro-mechanical
hooters, which have several
moving parts and are prone to
mechanical failure. In the trial,
hooters have been replaced by the
electronic Hootronic, which has no
moving parts, eliminating
downtime and increasing
productivity.
Hootronic uses the latest in SMD
class D amplifier technology and
digital to analogue conversion. It is
continuously rated, has low inrush
current and has a high output up
to 124dB(A) at 1m. More articles from European Safety Systems Ltd: |
