R247-G (Gen 3)

Flashing Beacon that can Exceed ITE Intensity 24 Hours a Day

The R247-G 24-Hour Flashing Beacon emits a continuous flash output that boosts the visibility of warning signs and stop signs. This cabinet-based 24-hour flasher has the solar panel on the top or side of the pole, and the batteries and EMS in a separate cabinet enclosure, allowing for more solar panel, battery, and mounting options. This beacon can be customized to your application requirements and the surrounding conditions. Sizing the system to meet ITE standards and other site-specific configurations and performance requirements is possible with this versatile solution.

The R247-G requires no trenching, cabling, or in-ground wiring, and it’s built to last: durable and dependable, this product comes with a 5-year warranty for peace of mind.

Three reasons to choose the R247-G:

1. Multiple panels and battery sizes allow for high performance, meeting and even exceeding ITE intensity.
2. Solar- and AC-powered versions available with support for up to four beacons and third-party devices.
3. Prewired for Carmanah’s calendar software and customizable with third-party calendars.

Manual Override Control Switch

The R247-G is available with a lockable pole-mounted manual override box installed lower down on the mounting structure to allow easy access by individuals on the ground. This override box allows work crews, emergency personnel, and other users to temporarily stop the beacon flashing. The override box can be mounted on 2” square perforated and round poles.  

Beacon Mounting Configuration

The R829-G supports multiple beacon mounting setups depending on your project requirements.
