SSL-LX3044GT

LED Indication - Discrete

The SSL-LX3044GT is an industrial grade, 4 bit, single in-line light-emitting diode (LED) indicator, which is designed to signify the presence or absence of power or data in industrial or commercial installations. The device is intended for use in environments where a high degree of visual indication is required.

The SSL-LX3044GT comprises four individual LED output indicators, each of which can be configured for a single color or for two colors. The two colors for each output can be chosen so that the LED presentation can have different meanings depending on the operational state of the circuit. For example, the LED can be configured in such a way that an "off" status is indicated by a green LED, while a red LED is activated to indicate an "on" status. The LEDs can be configured in various other combinations.

In addition to its traditional application as a single in-line LED indicator, the SSL-LX3044GT can also be adapted for use as a panel-mount indicator or as an array of discrete LEDs. In panel-mount applications, its robust construction makes it suitable for operation in hostile environments. Its versatility in configuration and design also makes it ideal for medical instruments where its sturdy construction ensures full colour fidelity for a range of demanding applications.

Working Principle

The SSL-LX3044GT is a light-emitting diode (LED) indicator that requires a low voltage to activate. The device is a discrete element and consists of four insulated metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) switches encapsulated in an epoxy body. When a voltage is applied to one of the switches, current flows through the LED, causing it to light.

The SSL-LX3044GT is designed to operate over a wide range of input voltages, including alternating current (AC) and direct current (DC) sources, and can also operate with either positive or negative voltage polarity. The device is designed to be tolerant to voltage spikes, surges, and other transient voltage variations.

The SSL-LX3044GT is designed so that it can be mounted in various orientations to suit the specific application and type of existing or planned equipment. It is available with terminals in various sizes to accommodate different wiring practices, and the LED output indicators can be supplied in different colors to improve readability. The device can also be mounted in a recessed orientation to increase the viewing angle and reduce visual clutter.

Applications

The SSL-LX3044GT is primarily used in industrial and commercial settings as a status indicator for power and data. Its ability to be configured in four different ways makes it ideal for indicating the status of power supplies and data lines, as well as for monitoring the functioning of the equipment itself. The device can also be used in warning or alarm systems and as indicators for factory automation processes.

The SSL-LX3044GT is suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications thanks to its resistance to dust, dirt, and moisture. It is also designed to withstand temperatures ranging from -20°C to + 70°C, and has a wide operating voltage range. Additionally, its robust construction and low power consumption makes it a suitable choice for energy-efficient equipment.

The SSL-LX3044GT is an ideal choice for applications where a visual indicator is required, including process control systems, security systems, audio-visual equipment, and medical instrumentation. With its versatile design and wide range of features, the SSL-LX3044GT is a cost-effective solution for numerous applications.
