APPLICATIONS
Install HLE or MLE Series loudspeakers to efficiently and safely communicate in combustible
and dust-filled areas. All drivers comply with the regulations governing electrical equipment at
hazardous locations as set forth by the National Electric Code. Drivers are listed by UL and
CSA (HLE Series only). They are recommended for paging, signal and voice communication in
chemical processing, petroleum, natural resource exploration and atmospheres as listed in the
chart below.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
HLE-1 Driver mounted to HLE/MLE-30 Horn
(order separately)
Series HLE and MLE loudspeakers are explosion-proof compression driver/horn assemblies
engineered for high-efficiency voice and electronic signal communication in hazardous areas.
Drivers, which are protected within a rugged die-cast aluminum housing, are available in
60-watt (HLE Series) and 30-watt (MLE Series) power handling versions. Models with T suffix include a factory-installed, internally mounted transformer (Note: To meet UL requirements
transformer must be factory installed). All models are equipped with 1⁄2" conduit access and an
adjustable mounting bracket.
Projector horns are available in two styles to meet dispersion requirements. Model HLE/MLE30 is a high-quality, polycarbonate projector that creates a 120 ° x 60 ° pattern for wide area
coverage. Model HLE/MLE-32 is a spun aluminum bell providing a 95 ° circular distribution
emphasis.
Note: – For Canadian use (Price List page 17 Text)
