August 14, 2025
New PROTECT Series Signaling Devices: Engineered to Thrive in the Harshest Environments and Meet the Highest Standards for Performance & Safety
At Pfannenberg, they are committed to redefining what’s possible in industrial safety and signaling. Following their tradition of innovation, they are excited to unveil the new PROTECT Series, a robust line of signaling devices engineered to thrive in the harshest environments and meet the highest standards for performance and safety.
Build for the Toughest Environments
The PROTECT Series sets a new standard for signaling durability, featuring a virtually unbreakable die-cast aluminum housing. This rugged construction ensures reliability across a wide range of industries, from fire alarm and marine applications to machine safety, functional safety, and hazardous areas. Whether you’re dealing with extreme weather, heavy impacts, or challenging industrial settings, the PROTECT Series is designed to deliver dependable performance where it matters most.
Versatile Solutions for Complex Needs
The series includes both sounders and combined sounder-light devices, available with six different lens colors and options for either Xenon or LED visual signaling. This flexibility allows you to tailor your signaling solution to your specific application, ensuring maximum visibility and audibility.
Key Features at a Glance
- Certified for Safety: The PROTECT Series meets stringent industrial standards, including Safety Integrity Level (SIL), Marine Equipment Directive, and UL Class 1 Division 2 Explosion Proof certifications. This ensures suitability for critical safety applications and hazardous locations.
- Selectable Tones: With 80 tones and four externally selectable additional tones, you have precise control over your signaling. The pre- and main alarm function helps prevent shock reactions by starting with a reduced sound level before escalating, enhancing safety for personnel.
- Adjustable Sound Pressure: Dip switch settings provide seven adjustments from 86–116 dB, so you can match the sound output to your environment’s needs.
- Outstanding Perceptibility: High sound penetration and multi-voltage compatibility reduce the number of devices required, streamlining installation and minimizing inventory.
- Easy Installation: Designed for quick setup to help minimize downtime and installation costs.
Spotlight on PRO 10 & PRO X 10
PRO 10: This versatile sounder is certified for marine, functional safety, and explosion-proof requirements. With a maximum sound pressure level of 116 dB(A) and an IK09 impact-proof rating, it delivers clear, reliable signaling even in the noisiest or most hazardous environments.
PRO X 10-05: Combining audible and visual signaling, the PRO X 10-05 features a high-performance Xenon flash strobe light, 5 Joules, and a sound pressure level of 116 dB(A). Its robust housing meets IP66/IP67 and NEMA 4/4X standards, ensuring resistance to dust, water, and mechanical impacts. Visual alarms provide comprehensive coverage and reducing the number of devices needed for full protection.
Engineered for Efficiency & Safety
Much like Pfannenberg’s approach with the DHS Hybrid Series, where they combined energy efficiency with maximum uptime, the PROTECT Series was made to simplify safety management. Its multi-functional capabilities, broad certifications, and rugged construction for the harshest environments make it a strategic investment for any facility prioritizing safety, reliability, and cost-effectiveness.
