Panel Indicators, Pilot Lights

The C46-NWR120-NRO series of panel indicators, pilot lights, and other terminal devices form the basis of efficient system operation in a variety of industrial applications. Popularly used in assembly line monitoring, process control, and machine input/output (I/O) signals, the C46-NWR120-NRO is an important factor for industrial safety and providing accurate readings to personnel. This article will discuss the application fields and working principle of the C46-NWR120-NRO series of panel indicators and pilot lights.

Application Fields

When an electrical signal is present, the C46-NWR120-NRO series of panel indicators and pilot lights indicate that the signal is present by emitting a visible light. The types of signals that can be indicated by the C46-NWR120-NRO series include AC/DC voltage, current, frequency, phase, impedance, and resistivity. The indication is available in both panel and machine-mount models, with the panel type having two types of housings that make them suitable for din-mount, cable-hung, and front panel mounting. The machine-mount models are designed to be mounted onto industrial machinery and other equipment.

The utilization of the C46-NWR120-NRO series is extensive. It is widely used in the industrial environment to monitor the status of various pieces of equipment. This includes testing for circuit voltage, output phases, line voltage, system performance, and shut-down status. It is also used in assembly line monitoring to ensure that the machines are operating correctly and within safety parameters, and in process control, where it is used to indicate when the process is at optimal levels of performance. The C46-NWR120-NRO series can also be used in machine input/output signals, where it is used to indicate the status of various inputs and outputs to and from the machine.

Working Principle

The C46-NWR120-NRO series of panel indicators and pilot lights utilize LED technology to provide a visible indication of an electrical signal. When an AC/DC voltage, current, frequency, phase, impedance, and resistivity is sensed, the panel indicator will emit a visible light. This light indicates whether the signal is present, or is indicating a fault. The LEDs used to create the light used in indication are designed for long life, typically up to 50,000 hours.

In terms of their functionality, the C46-NWR120-NRO series of panel indicators has a wide input range, with an input voltage range of 1 to 32 volts AC/DC for the panel model, and 1 to 440 volts AC/DC for the machine-mount model. It also has a wide range of optical signal indications, with five different signal offerings which can be adjusted to indicate a range of signals. The signal indications are also adjustable, with three different brightness levels available for optimal visibility in different lighting conditions.

The C46-NWR120-NRO series of panel indicators and pilot lights is extremely robust and reliable. This is due to its rugged construction, with an environmental housing made from polyester and a UL94V-0-rated, impact-resistant lens that protects the LEDs from dust and moisture. It is also designed with a wide operating temperature range of -40 to +85°C.

Conclusion

The C46-NWR120-NRO series of panel indicators and pilot lights are a reliable and efficient way to monitor the status of systems in industrial applications. They offer a wide range of features, including a wide input voltage range, adjustable brightness, and a robust environmental housing, making them suitable for a variety of applications. Ultimately, the C46-NWR120-NRO series of panel indicators and pilot lights provide an easy and cost-effective way to monitor and control systems and processes in the industrial environment.
