WT Series: Weather Tight Annunciator

General Description

The WT Series annunciator is designed for outdoor use and in locations where protection from water and temperature extremes are needed.

The annunciator is housed in a rugged #16 gauge steel enclosure and door, dip primed and finished in a Taupe Powder Coat Enamel. The door is attached with a vandal resistant, hidden hinge with a key locked cover to prevent unauthorized access. The door has a continuous 1/2” close-cell neoprene gasket and the annunciator window opening uses the Scotch VHB joining system sealing gasket to seal the annunciator window opening.

The internals of the WT Series is identical to the LD series so the system is modular and can easily be changed or expanded.
