The 5110F4-12V panel indicator is typically used for visual indication of electrical or mechanical status on a panel, in a machine or system. It is designed to operate in low voltage applications and is an economical alternative to other types of panel indicators.

Application field

5110F4-12V panel indicator is used in a range of applications, such as in industrial processes, alarm systems, signals, automotive, communications and consumer electronics. They can be used for a variety of purposes, such as providing visual indication of the status of a circuit, indicating the position of a switch, indicating the presence of an electrical current, and providing a visual warning in the case of fault conditions or short circuits.

They are also used in aerospace, fire alarm systems, medical devices and in marine applications. In addition, they are used in audio visualization in an industrial environment, such as to indicate if a line is enabled or disabled.

Working principle

The 5110F4-12V panel indicator is a self-contained unit that uses a single light source and is powered by an internal power supply. The power supply connects to an external circuit, usually at 4 Volts. When the power is connected, the internal power supply powers the light source. The light source is either a light emitting diode (LED) or a neon bulb depending on the application.

The operation of the panel indicator is based on the principle of optocoupling and electrical isolation. The light source is coupled to the external circuit using a photodiode. When the power is connected, the light source emits light which is coupled to the photodiode. The light intensity determines the voltage received by the photodiode, which in turn controls the current flow. The current flow activates the LED or neon bulb, providing a visible indication of the status of the external circuit.

Conclusion:

The 5110F4-12V panel indicator is a reliable, low cost, and low current solution for providing visual indication of the status of a circuit. It is compatible with a wide range of applications, from industrial to consumer applications. Its small size and low current requirements make it an ideal choice for applications that require a compact and cost effective solution.
