180 degree visibility
05 January 2017
Specialist in Human Machine Interfaces (HMIs), EAO, has added a compact, high-intensity illuminated and robust LED indicator to its dependable Series 14.

The new indicator offers homogeneous LED illumination, an easy to wire PIT (Push-In-Terminal), a very low back panel depth and 180° all-round visibility – even from great distances. The robust front protection (up to IP69K) and the IK07 impact resistance make this indicator ideal for use in harsh, industrial environments – in interior and exterior spaces along with applications where high levels of humidity and extreme temperature fluctuations can occur – such as for production robot applications.
With a minimal back panel depth of just 9.5 mm, a small outer diameter of 33.5 mm, and a polyamide seal, these units function reliably once mounted in even the most confined spaces. Connectivity through push-in-terminals (PIT) offer ease and flexibility with installation.
Once secured to the panel by use of a fixing nut or a screw thread in the mounting cut-out, the cable is then connected quickly. These units can handle an operational voltage range between 14 and 32 VAC / DC, with a current consumption of less than 50 mA.
The standard range of options includes red, blue, green, orange and white LEDs that offer a lifetime of more than 50 000 operating hours. EAO Value Added Services are possible with customisation options including colours, operating voltage (from 12 to 36 V) and connectors and cables.
