A UK-based manufacturer, Clifford & snell offers a comprehensive range selection of products to address applications such as hazardous areas and IS environments including the petrochemical and oil/gas markets as well as industrial and process control through to requirements of the fire and security industry.

The Yodalex range of explosion-proof sounders and strobes offers a novel design with many features including omni-directional high sound output and an explosion-proof enclosure made from LM6 aluminium alloy which is available as either a single sounder or strobe, or in a combination sounder-strobe format. International approvals such as UL, CSA and Demko are standard across the range.

BASEEFA approved and meeting PFEER and UKOOA requirements, the YO7D explosion-proof electronic audible alarm complements the Yodalex series and incorporates a monitoring facility and a choice of 32 sound tones. For applications where an intrinsically safe product is required, Farnell is now able to supply a range of IS units which will meet the needs of most customers.

Trevor Gage, General Manager, Clifford & Snell, said “This global distribution agreement with Farnell enhances a long and successful partnership between the two companies, which has been in place for many years. Furthermore, the introduction of new products from Clifford & Snell specifically for hazardous area and intrinsically safe applications, complements the existing range of alarm sounders and strobes, and opens new market opportunities for Farnell on a worldwide basis.”

“With Farnell’s excellent reputation as a proactive broadline distributor, the new agreement will allow our successful and well-established relationship to progress considerably both in the UK and on an international basis” he concluded.

Andrew Fawcett, Farnell’s Warning Devices Product Manager, commented: “As a global distributor, it is crucial that we meet the needs of the changing corporate markets. The expansion of our hazardous products portfolio through Clifford & Snell’s audio and visual alarms, is another example of Farnell’s commitment to keeping abreast of global demands with diversification into industrial markets.”
