LD6A Signalight Towers
Ergonomically designed for instant visual & audible recognition
LD6A SignaLights combine the latest LED technology with IDEC safety technology. With a new concept and
innovative design, LD6A light towers are ideal for factory automation and many applications.
IEC Standards Color Arrangement
Indicating towers mounted on machines should have colors in the following order from the top down; RED, YELLOW,
BLUE, GREEN, WHITE to meet IEC Standards. (IEC60204-1 Fifth edition Chapter 10.3.2 Colors)
Indicator Light Color Significance (with respect to machine condition)
Color Indication Explanation Operator Action
RED Emergency Hazardous condition Immediate action to deal with
hazardous condition
YELLOW Abnormal Abnormal condition
Impending critical condition
Monitoring and/or intervention
(for example by re-establishing
the intended function)
BLUE Mandatory Indication of a condition that requires action by the operator Mandatory action
GREEN Normal Normal condition Optional
WHITE Neutral Other conditions; may be used whenever doubt exists about
the application of RED, YELLOW, GREEN, BLUE Monitoring

With LD6A, there is a clear
distinction between illuminated
and non-illuminated areas.
RED ?
Because there is no distinction
between the illuminated areas,
it can be confusing to determine
which lens is actually illuminated.
Conventional modelsIDEC LD6A
The non-illuminated area
between the lenses makes the
illuminated color more visible,
even at a distance.

Condensing lens
(spo llumination)
By combining a diffusing lens, which
diffuses light in a wide arc, with a
condensing lens, a super-bright area
is created providing high visibility. In
addition, illumination through a light
guide enhances visibility when the
SignaLight is viewed from below.

Clear lens type available
Because a reflective mirror is not installed in the the LED unit,
diffuse reflection does not occur because of external or bright light.
Also, when the clear lens type is used, it is very obvious when the
light is on or off, even in a bright environment.
Alarm is 3.3kHz with a maximum sound level of 90dB. With a unique IDEC
resonant design, the SignaLight has a frequency that is audible to the human
ear and provides clear sound in 360 degrees. As a result, sound recognition
improves as the alarm can be heard in a noisy environment, enhancing safety.
Unique design with 360-degree sound. Two alarm styles available.

Safety Precautions
Turn off the power to the LD6A before mounting, removing, wiring or
assembling the LED module. Make sure the wiring is done correctly otherwise
electrical shock or fire may result.
Mount the LD6A on a solid surface not subject to vibrations.
Do not mount the LD6A upside-down or horizontally.
Do not leave the LD6A without a cap or unassembled.
Install the supplied gasket, otherwise the waterproof seal will be compromised.
Do not apply any chemicals that may corrode the plastic materials.
If the LD6A is subjected to strong vibrations, the hexagon socket screw may
become loose. Take measures to prevent loosening. (See the figure below.)
2-M4 holes for hexagon socket
set screws
recommended tightening torque:
1.1 to1.2 Nm
Do not loosen any screws if the tightening torque is not specified.
Instructions
Mounting
See drawing below regarding the mounting of the LD6A.
For panel cut-out dimensions, see pages 9 and 10.
Postion the LD6A to make sure the alarm sound is the loudest. (Steady/
flashing/alarm type)
Frame Mounting
Insert two nuts in the frame, and attach the bracket using two M5 screws. 1.
Recommended tightening torque: 2.6 to 2.7 N·m
Mount the LD6A to the bracket using four M4 screws. 2.
Recommended tightening torque: 1.6 to 1.7 N·m
