Direction indicator ES70114

Field of use

The ES70114 direction indicator is used on escalators and moving walks in public transport – for example in railway stations, airports, shopping centres and public buildings. Mounted on the access side of the unit, it shows passengers whether the unit is cleared for their direction or blocked.

Operating principle

The backlit one-way symbol (bar) on a red background is clearly recognisable even from a distance. The homogeneous LED illumination remains high-contrast even in bright ambient light; no symbol is visible when de-energised, so no contradictory signals can arise.

Benefits in use

• clear signalling of the direction of travel or blocking
• high contrast and long reading distance
• low power consumption with homogeneous illumination
• low-maintenance and durable thanks to robust LED technology
• optional function monitoring for safety-relevant units

Versions

The ES70114 is available in two symbol colours and optionally with function monitoring:

Function monitoring reports a failure of the illumination to the controller – recommended for safety-relevant units or units that are difficult to see.

Installation

The indicator is installed in round columns with a diameter of 114 mm; the curved, replaceable front lens is designed for a 70 mm cut-out. Suitable fastening sets are available depending on the structural situation.

1. Position and align the indicator on the access side of the unit.
2. Fix the device in the round or square column or in the base using the appropriate fastening set.
3. Connect the connecting cable (2 × 0.5 mm²) to the supply or control voltage.
4. Apply the operating voltage and check the display for proper illumination.

Thanks to its wide input voltage range (16 … 36 V) and IP 67 protection, the ES70114 is suitable for robust continuous operation.
