TLVS4200

LED Indication - Discrete

LED indications are used widely in both commercial and industrial applications. This article will talk specifically about TLVS4200 discrete indicators. Discrete indicators are ideal for generating visual alerts, providing information to improve efficiency in user’s work operations and machines and starting control systems with activation buttons.

TLVS4200 Application Field

The TLVS4200 multi-channel indicator from TE Connectivity is designed to meet the most important applications. With its features, it is especially suitable for use in motor- and machine start/stop operations, testing of electrical circuits, operation sequence control, product movement tracking, shift and jobs status and alarming. Its main application fields are industry automation and medical equipment.

In addition, its competitive price and high quality make it an excellent choice for a variety of industries, including electrical, industrial, automotive, data and telecommunications, aerospace, commercial, and medical.

TLVS4200 Working Principles

The TLVS4200 discrete indicator is a LED system that operates on two drivers that form a bridge circuit. The first driver, the bridge rectifier, is a device used to rectify an alternating current to a direct current. The second driver, the alarm relay, provides the interface between the LED and the power source. The first driver provides the power for the LED and the second driver acts as an amplifier, increasing the current and voltage so that the LED can be driven from the relay.

The TLVS4200 discrete indicator is usually equipped with a number of LEDs which can be adjusted to indicate different levels of intensity or colour. The LEDs can be activated in one of two ways. A voltage surge to the peak level of the current or voltage can be used to trigger the alarm relay, or alternatively a feedback signal from a control unit or the power source can be monitored to activate the LEDs when a certain level is reached.

The TLVS4200 has a wide operational range. When operated at a high voltage up to a maximum of 60 VDC, the LED can be triggered by both a voltage surge and a feedback signal. At a voltage of 30 VDC, the LED can be triggered only by a voltage surge. In both cases, the operating current level should not exceed 0.5 A.

Conclusion

The TLVS4200 discrete LED indicator is a versatile device that is widely used in a variety of industries. With its features and competitive price, it is an excellent choice for use in motor- and machine start/stop operations, testing of electrical circuits, operation sequence control, product movement tracking, shift and jobs status, and alarming applications. Its two drivers and wide operating range make it a reliable and versatile device.
