LED indications are one of the most popular forms of signaling, present in a range of different settings – from everyday items such as watches and keyboards to industrial settings. A specific product in this category of lighting is the VLMK3100-GS08 which is a discrete LED indicator with multiple specifications. This article will describe the application field and working principle of this product.

Application Field

The VLMK3100-GS08 is designed to offer an illuminated signal indicator specifically for harsh outdoor environments, including aggressive operating conditions such as high temperature, dirt, and moisture. Due to its reliability and versatility, this product is suitable for a wide range of applications which include factory automation, safety equipment, industrial control systems, public warnings systems and mobile devices.

The VLMK3100-GS08 is designed to be mounted in a variety of ways, however side access mounting is most recommended due its reliability and efficiency. Its large beam angle of 110° allows for a vivid light source with a large window for observation. Furthermore its robust construction makes it suitable for mounting in an enclosed area, for example in a control surface or barrier.

Working Principle

The VLMK3100-GS08 is used as an alert signal for operators, with its brightly visible light source which comes in three different colors; blue, yellow and green. The discrete LED indicator is powered by a voltage supply source of 12/24v, meaning it operates more reliably in these higher voltage environments. The actuator for the indicator is typically a mechanical switch such as a push button or a rotary encoder.

Once the actuator is manipulated, it will activate the indicator, upon which a current will pass through the components. This enables the semiconductor material to emit photons of light, thus giving a visible light output. Due to its robust design and construction, the VLMK3100-GS08 enclosure has an IP rating of 67, meaning it is watertight and dust tight.

Conclusion

LED indications are ideal for a range of applications that require signaling in harsh outdoor environments. The VLMK3100-GS08 is a discrete LED indicator which offers multiple advantages; reliable, rugged and versatile, it is suitable for variable mounting, mechanical and electrical settings and is protected by its IP rating of 67. By powering the indicator with a voltage supply of 12/24V, it ensures that visible light output is bright and clear, making it perfect for various control applications.
