Panel Indicators, Pilot Lights

The 964-BA2-CAO Panel Indicators, Pilot Lights are electromechanical devices used to indicate the status of a given process. They are designed to separate the electrical switch from the light source and are activated when an electric current is applied.

Application Field

Panel indicators, pilot lights are used in a wide variety of applications including safety, hazardous area, and control systems. They can be used to indicate just about any status of a machine, appliance, system, or process. The indicators and lights can be used in simple setups such as signaling the switch-on/off status of an appliance, or in more complex systems where they are used to represent multiple states or process parameters.

Working Principle

Panel Indicators, Pilot Lights are usually powered with DC voltage applied directly from the main circuit. The electric current that flows through the light assembly activates the electro-mechanical device. The device includes a stationary terminal, a movable contact, and a single-leg circuit. When the DC voltage is applied, the movable contact is attracted to the stationary terminal, which allows the electrical current to complete the circuit, which in turn, activates the light.

Most Panel Indicators, Pilot Lights also have an additional single-leg circuit, which is used to provide an indication of the applied voltage. This aspect of the indicator is important in safety and hazardous area applications, as it allows the user to easily identify whether there is an active electrical signal present or not.

Conclusion

The 964-BA2-CAO Panel Indicators, Pilot Lights are an essential tool used to indicate the status of a given process or system. They are relatively simple and straightforward to use and can be used in a wide variety of applications, including safety and hazardous areas.
