SSI-LXR1612GD-250

Panel indicators and pilot lights are small pieces of mobile electrical instrumentation and automation equipment, often used for visual process indicators. They can be used to indicate when a certain device needs attention or a process is complete, as well as to learn if the device is operating in a safe manner. The SSI-LXR1612GD-250 is a general-purpose indicator which can be used in a variety of automation applications.

Application

The SSI-LXR1612GD-250 is ideal for use in environments such as industrial and manufacturing processes, airports, railroads and other engineering projects. This type of device can be used in a variety of applications as indicator or indicator/alarm lights. It is equipped with a quick-connect bushing, which makes it easy to install and maintain. This indicator can provide easy-to-read visual notifications, providing operators with feedback to indicate if a process is complete or if a process is out of range.

Working Principle

The SSI-LXR1612GD-250 is a general-purpose indicator which operates through a simple, yet reliable, principle. As voltage is applied to the pilot light from a power source, a current passes through a red or green lamp and the relevant LED bulb that is connected in series is illuminated. Depending on the application, different LED bulbs can be used in order to provide a more accurate indication. A steady-on status is indicated via the LED bulb illumination; this can be done simply by connecting the red and green bulbs in series. The steady-on status also provides the user with a quick indication that the power source is working properly.

The SSI-LXR1612GD-250 can also be used in applications where a blinking signal is required, such as in alarm systems. To achieve this, the pilot light is wired differently than for a steady-on application. In this case, the LED bulbs are connected in parallel and a control module, such as a timer or counter, is connected to the pilot light.The timer or counter then cycles through a program, pulses, or intervals and causes the bulbs to blink in succession. The frequency and speed of the blinking can be adjusted depending on the application. By adjusting the frequency of the blinking, the user can obtain the desired signal for the application, ranging from steady-on to fast blink.

Conclusion

The SSI-LXR1612GD-250 is a versatile panel indicator/pilot light that can be used in a variety of applications, from simple process indicators to complex alarm systems. Its rapid-assembly housing makes for easy installing and maintaining, and its blinking capabilities make it ideal for applications that require a dynamic visual indication. With its simple working principle, this device can provide reliable visual feedback in any application.
