Edwards (53B-G1) Edwards 53 series rotating beacon for indoor or outdoor applications. cast base can be utilized as junction box. may be mounted vertically, facing up or down in 3 days.

The Edwards 53B-G1 is a 53 Series rotating incandescent beacon with a blue lens. It runs on 24 VDC, 1.0 A. The cast base doubles as a junction box for direct conduit feed.

This beacon is built for indoor or outdoor signaling. As a result, it suits process lines, machine shops, loading docks, and security applications. The unit may be mounted vertically with the lens facing up or facing down.

How the 53 Series Naming Works

First, the leading letter after “53” is the lens color. For example, 53R = red, 53B = blue, 53A = amber, 53G = green. Then the suffix designates voltage. Specifically, G1 = 24 VDC and E1 = 12 VDC are the documented 53 Series voltage suffixes. Therefore, confirm both the color and the voltage suffix before ordering.

Mounting Notes

The cast base can be used as a junction box. As a result, conduit feeds in directly without a separate box. In addition, the dual mount orientation (lens up or lens down) helps the unit fit overhead or undermount layouts.

Important: This Is an Industrial Beacon, Not a Fire-Alarm Device

The 53B-G1 is a general-purpose visual signal. Therefore, it is not UL 1971 listed for fire-alarm visual notification. Do not specify it on a NAC where UL 1971 candela ratings are required. Instead, use it for process alarms, machine status, security signaling, and general industrial notification.
