OVERVIEW

Prevent Downtime with the Western Enterprises BIA-3 Alarm

In a high-production welding environment, running out of shielding gas in the middle of a critical weld is more than just an annoyance—it's a costly mistake that leads to rework, porosity, and wasted materials. The Western Enterprises BIA-3 Remote Audio/Visual Alarm is your first line of defense against unexpected gas depletion. Designed specifically for single gas service applications, this rugged alarm box connects to your shop's manifold or bulk gas system to alert you the moment your gas supply needs attention.

The BIA-3 is built to be heard and seen. It features a loud 90 decibel buzzer that cuts through the noise of grinders, arcs, and ventilation fans, ensuring your team knows immediately when a tank needs changing. For shops where noise levels are extreme, the bright red strobe light serves as an unmistakable visual cue. This dual-alarm system allows you to address low-pressure situations instantly, swapping out cylinders before the line runs dry and the torches sputter out.

This remote alarm is designed for easy integration into your existing shop setup. It can be mounted on a wall up to several hundred feet away from the actual gas cylinders, bringing the status of your gas supply directly to the shop floor or the maintenance office. It operates on standard 115V power and works in conjunction with a pressure switch on your regulator or manifold. Don't let an empty tank halt your production line; equip your facility with the Western Enterprises BIA-3 and keep your arcs burning and your projects on schedule.

FAQ

The BIA-3 is designed to provide both audio and visual warnings when a single gas source reaches a low-pressure condition, alerting personnel to change cylinders.

No, the BIA-3 is the alarm unit itself. It requires a separate pressure switch (typically installed on the manifold or regulator) to trigger the alarm.

The buzzer produces approximately 90 decibels, making it loud enough to be heard in most industrial environments.

The standard BIA-3 unit operates on 115 VAC power.

Yes, the alarm box itself is electrical and does not contact the gas. As long as the pressure switch and manifold it connects to are oxygen-cleaned, it is safe for use with oxygen systems.

The alarm can be mounted remotely at a significant distance, limited only by the length and gauge of the wire used to connect it to the pressure switch.

The BIA-3 is generally designed for indoor use (NEMA 1 type enclosure) and should be protected from direct rain or washdown environments.

The alarm will typically continue until the low-pressure condition is resolved (i.e., cylinders are replaced) or power is cut to the unit, depending on the specific wiring configuration.
