Pilot Lights and Equipment

Pilot lights and signaling equipment are panel-mount indicator lights, illuminated columns (stack lights), beacons and sirens that report the operating and fault status of a machine or facility by light or sound. They are used to show operating and fault information on the panel door, make the machine's status visible from a distance, and alert the operator with sound or light. The subcategories include 22 mm LED pilot lights, models with ammeter and voltmeter displays, illuminated columns, beacons and sirens; EMAS, Schneider Electric, Siemens and Isıso products come in voltages such as 12 V, 24 V and 230 V. Choose the operating voltage according to the control circuit, the color according to the condition to be signaled, the mounting diameter according to the panel hole, the number of tiers of the column and the need for an audible alarm according to the machine, and the IP rating according to the environment. On machines, the meaning of indicator colors is defined by EN 60204-1: red signals an emergency, yellow an abnormal condition and green a normal condition. In modular columns, the base, light and sound elements may be sold under separate codes; check the product name to see whether an item is complete or a single element.
