Strobe alarm light

[Q'fied]

Hi there,
Just recently qualified and have been put in charge of installing a new Carel 'PlantWatch Pro' control system for the revamped supermarket we have done.

My problem is I want to hook up a red light to an alarm relay on the Carel control, though I do not want a solid light. Anyone know of a relay I can get to make it flick on and off like your cars' indicator?

Just buy an alarm beacon, they are normally 'flashing' not solid light.

Something like these, from the UK RS Components site.

brian wins,they even incorporate a screamer not that you have to wire it in the only thing you may need is a power supply,compare what your light requires to rated output voltage of alarm relays.blue is pretty much standard in burglar alarms,have used a few for personel trapped alarms

Ha - Thanks fellas. Yeah wasn't sure (until this morning) if they came pre-installed with a strobe relay! All good......
