Panel Indicators and Pilot Lights

Panel indicators and pilot lights are a ubiquitous electrical switch device used to indicate a power, process, or signal issue in industrial equipment. Essentially, they are visually engaging devices that provide feedback to the operator or technician on the status of the system they are controlling. They remain a favorite among electrical engineers for both their utilitarian and aesthetic appeal.

Panel indicators and pilot lights typically use LED light sources, and come in a variety of shapes and sizes. Two of the most common types are “push to test” indicators which are engaged by a momentary pushbutton switch, and devices that are engaged by an on/off switch.

The Application Field of Panel Indicators and Pilot Lights

The small size and fast response time of panel indicators and pilot lights makes them an ideal solution for a variety of applications. They are used in a variety of industrial equipment, including machinery, automotive, process control systems, and consumer electronics, among many others. They can be found in medical, military, and commercial applications, providing a low-cost visual/audible signal or feedback system.

They are also commonly employed in practically every home, office, factory, or other building control system. The cost of these devices is quite low compared to their counterparts, which include highly visible alarms, such as bells, sirens, or flashing lights. In fact, these devices have become increasingly common to indicate important system information or warning messages.

The Working Principle of Panel Indicators and Pilot Lights

Pilot lights are passive devices that provide a visual indication of the operating status of a system. When a button is pushed or a switch is activated, the device is connected to a source of power and a LED light is illuminated. The LED light then turns on or off depending upon the status of the system it is sensing. Panel indicators provide a very low power signal and are simple to wire and mount onto a control panel.

Panel indicators are also used to provide an alarm indication when an operator or technician needs to take a corrective action. The LED light will flash, blink, or otherwise indicate when the system is out of specification or has an anomaly. This lets the operator know that action needs to be taken, and can help prevent major systems malfunctions.

Conclusion

Panel indicators and pilot lights are an extremely useful tool in many applications and industries. The small size, fast response time, and ease of wiring and setup make them a must have for any industrial or commercial system. They are a low-cost yet effective way to provide visual or audible feedback to an operator or technician. As such, they remain a favorite of electrical engineers everywhere for their sense of style and utility.
