RB6000-W-B Direction Indicator

The RB6000-W-B direction indicator is a white backlit directional arrow on a blue background. It offers high visual contrast with low power consumption and homogeneous illumination.

Use on Escalators and Moving Walkways

Direction indicators from RLS Wacon signal the direction of travel or the clearance of the unit to passengers on escalators and moving walkways. The illuminated symbol shows passengers the permitted direction of travel. Depending on the version, installation takes place in the balustrade, round or square column, or base. The bright, homogeneous LED illumination remains clearly visible even in ambient light; when de-energized, no symbols are visible. A curved, replaceable front lens and a wide input voltage range ensure robust continuous operation.

Features

  • For installation in balustrades with 60 mm cut-out
  • Curved front lens, replaceable
  • Wide input voltage range
  • Robust and durable
  • No symbols visible when de-energized
  • Special version for 12 V available

Field of use

The RB6000 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 the permitted direction of travel.

Operating principle

The white backlit direction arrow on a blue or green 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.

Benefits in use

  • clear signalling of the direction of travel
  • high contrast and long reading distance
  • low power consumption with long LED service life (50,000 h)
  • low-maintenance and durable thanks to robust LED technology
  • optional function monitoring for safety-relevant units

Versions

The RB6000 is available in two background colours and optionally with function monitoring:

Feature Options
Symbol Direction arrow (white)
Background Blue or green
Function monitoring optional (“-check” version)

Installation

The indicator is installed in balustrades; the curved, replaceable front lens is designed for a 60 mm cut-out (installation depth 65 mm). 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 balustrade 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 RB6000 is suitable for robust continuous operation.
