Floor Safety Sign Projector
150 W SL150 floor safety sign projector automated by WACS
The SL150 illuminated signage projector projects a highly visible safety sign onto the floor, such as a Warning: Forklift Trucks pictogram, a STOP sign, a no-entry warning or any other prevention message suited to your industrial environment.
When combined with WACS wireless technology, the projector switches on automatically when a forklift truck, handling vehicle or other vehicle fitted with a WACS beacon approaches the area to be secured.
This dynamic illuminated warning solution attracts more attention than a static sign and helps improve safety at intersections, building exits, pedestrian crossings and industrial traffic areas.
An illuminated warning activated only when a hazard is present
Unlike conventional floor markings, the illuminated sign is projected only when a risk is detected. The warning is therefore more noticeable and remains effective for pedestrians and drivers.
The WACS transmitter beacon installed on the forklift truck communicates wirelessly with the receiver positioned near the projector. As soon as the vehicle enters the configured detection zone, the system automatically activates the illuminated projection.
How the projector works with the WACS system
- A WACS transmitter beacon is installed on the forklift truck or industrial vehicle.
- The WACS receiver automatically detects the approaching beacon.
- The SL150 projector switches on and projects the illuminated sign onto the floor.
- Pedestrians are warned before the vehicle reaches the hazardous area.
- The projector switches off automatically after the configured time delay.
The fully automatic operation requires no action from the driver. WACS radio technology also eliminates the need to install communication cables between the vehicle and the warning device.
Examples of projected illuminated signs

Industrial applications
This illuminated warning projector can be installed in many hazardous areas:
- intersections between forklift trucks and pedestrians;
- warehouse and industrial building exits;
- blind spots in logistics areas;
- pedestrian crossings across vehicle traffic lanes;
- high-speed doors and sectional doors;
- loading bays and dispatch areas;
- order preparation areas;
- production workshops and factories;
- covered car parks and access ramps;
- AGV and industrial vehicle traffic areas;
- access points to overhead crane handling areas;
- areas temporarily closed to pedestrians.
Benefits of the WACS illuminated projector
- Automatic activation: the sign switches on only when a vehicle fitted with a WACS beacon approaches.
- High visibility: the illuminated projection immediately attracts pedestrians’ attention.
- Dynamic warning: temporary activation reduces habituation to permanent warnings.
- No wired communication required: vehicle detection is based on WACS radio technology.
- Customisable signage: the projected sign can be adapted to the risks present on the site.
- No floor marking wear: the illuminated sign does not peel off or fade under vehicle traffic.
- Indoor and outdoor use: the projector has an IP65 protection rating.
- Can be integrated with other alerts: siren, beacon, flashing light, relay or industrial automation system.

Dimensions of the projected illuminated sign
The projection size mainly depends on the distance between the projector and the floor, as well as the selected lens.
With the standard 20° lens, the projection width is approximately equal to the projection distance multiplied by 0.35.
- At a distance of 3 metres: projection approximately 1.05 metres wide.
- At a distance of 4 metres: projection approximately 1.40 metres wide.
- At a distance of 5 metres: projection approximately 1.75 metres wide.
- At a distance of 6 metres: projection approximately 2.10 metres wide.
These values are indicative. Actual visibility also depends on ambient light, floor colour, projector angle and the selected graphic.
Installation and automation
The projector is generally installed at height on a wall, roof structure, post or above a doorway. It must be aimed towards the area where the illuminated sign is to appear.
The WACS receiver controls the projector through a suitable relay or electrical control device. The time delay can be configured to keep the projection active throughout the vehicle’s passage.
Electrical installation, projector adjustment and connection to the WACS system must be carried out by a qualified professional in accordance with applicable regulations and site safety rules.
Solution contents
Depending on the selected configuration, the solution may include:
- one SL150 illuminated signage projector;
- one HD glass image disc with the custom graphic;
- one WACS transmitter beacon for the forklift truck;
- one WACS receiver for automatic activation;
- one timing or control device;
- the required mounting brackets and accessories;

Creation of a custom illuminated sign
The graphic is manufactured according to the required safety message. You can select a standard sign such as Warning: Forklift Trucks or STOP, or request a custom design suited to your activity.
For optimum visibility, we recommend a simple pictogram, strongly contrasting colours and a short message that pedestrians can understand quickly.
Frequently asked questions about the WACS illuminated projector
How does the projector detect an approaching forklift truck?
The projector does not perform the detection directly. A WACS transmitter beacon is installed on the forklift truck. When it enters the defined zone, the WACS receiver automatically switches on the projector.
Does the system operate without driver intervention?
Yes. Activation is fully automatic. The driver does not need to press a button or switch on the projector manually.
Which signs can be projected onto the floor?
The projector can display a Warning: Forklift Trucks sign, STOP sign, No Pedestrians sign, Slow Down warning, Danger warning, speed limit, pedestrian crossing or a custom graphic.
Can the projected image be customised?
Yes. The HD glass image disc can include a pictogram, text, logo or safety sign suited to the site’s requirements.
Can the projector be installed outdoors?
Yes. The projector has an IP65 protection rating and can be used indoors or outdoors, provided it is installed in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations.
Can the projector remain switched on continuously?
This model is primarily intended for automatic or timed operation. Continuous use is limited to 16 hours per day. With WACS, a minimum activation time of 30 seconds per trigger is recommended.
What is the size of the projected sign?
The size depends on the distance and lens. With the standard 20° lens, the projection width is approximately 35% of the distance between the projector and the floor.
Does the WACS system require a Wi-Fi network?
No. Communication between the beacon installed on the vehicle and the WACS receiver uses dedicated radio technology. Basic operation does not depend on the company’s Wi-Fi network.
Can one forklift truck activate several projectors?
Yes. A forklift truck equipped with a WACS beacon can activate different receivers installed in several areas of the site, depending on the system configuration.
Can a siren or warning beacon be added?
Yes. The WACS receiver can be integrated into an installation that includes a projector, siren, flashing light, warning beacon or other compatible signalling equipment.
Does the projector replace other safety measures?
No. The illuminated projection is a supplementary warning device. It does not replace traffic procedures, mandatory signs, physical protection, driver training or any other required preventive measures.
Who should install the projector and WACS system?
Installation and connection must be carried out by a qualified professional with the necessary expertise in electrical systems, automation and industrial safety.
Need help configuring your illuminated warning system?
The projection distance, ambient light, mounting height, sign size and detection zone must be assessed before installation.
