The EMAS IF5M220ZM05-1 is the 230V AC version of the IF5 multicolour beacon: five status colours (white, red, blue, yellow and green) from a single 55mm lens, plus a built-in 90dB buzzer. Unlike the PLC-driven IF5P, colours are selected with volt-free contacts: mains goes to the supply wires only, and each colour wire is linked to a common wire (black for steady, grey for flashing) by a relay contact or switch. That makes it simple to drive from existing relay logic, selector switches or a controller's volt-free alarm relays, in panels where a 24V control supply isn't available.
It fits a standard 22mm hole and is IP65 rated, so it mounts straight onto an enclosure lid or machine guard. For PLC-driven 24V systems choose the IF5P024ZM05-1, and for several colours lit at once choose the IF5T 3-level tower. We also recommend this beacon alongside our 230V AC Novus controllers where several alarm or status indications are needed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this a stack light tower?
No. It is a single 55mm dome that changes colour depending on which wire is switched, so only one colour shows at a time. If you need several colours visible at once, choose the IF5T 3-level tower (24V DC).
Which colour should I use for which machine state?
IEC 60204-1 assigns red to emergency, yellow to abnormal conditions, green to normal running and blue to mandatory action. White has no assigned meaning, so it is often used for "machine on" or "operator call".
How do I wire and switch the colours?
Connect the supply to the two brown wires only. Each colour then lights when its wire is linked to the black wire (steady) or to the grey wire (flashing) through a volt-free contact, such as a relay contact, pushbutton or selector switch. The buzzer sounds when the two purple wires are linked through a volt-free contact. Do not connect the supply to the colour wires. The EMAS IF5/IF6 instruction leaflet above shows the full wiring diagram.
Is there a low-voltage version?
Yes. For direct PLC outputs choose the IF5P024ZM05-1 (24V DC PNP), where each colour wire is driven at +24V. For a 24V AC or DC supply with the same volt-free contact switching as this model, choose the IF5M024ZM05-1.
How is it mounted?
It fits a standard 22mm hole and is secured with an M22 nut, so it can go on any enclosure lid or machine guard you can punch for a pushbutton. For wall or post mounting, add the IKAD22 adjustable bracket and the IFAB03 pipe adaptor.
