Model MI 51LP
Qualified to MIL-PRF-83287/4

Print information as a condensed 2 page document

The MI 51LP is a miniature dual drum magnetic latching indicator featuring a nonvolatile two-drum display, excellent positive indication of a fault condition with superior visibility in high ambient light. It is fully qualified to MIL-PRF-83287 and is designed to monitor electronic systems where space is limited.

Covered by U.S. and Foreign Patents. Patent No. 3,465,333
Cleared by DOD/OFOISR for public release under 00-S-1235 dated April 17, 2000.

50 Milliwatt Sensitivity
Manual Reset
Magnetic Latching
Environmentally Sealed

OPERATION
When the indicator coil is energized with a 25 millisecond (or longer) pulse, the highly visible drums spin 180 degrees and latches to the magnetic core. The drums will remain magnetically latched to the core in the position last pulsed. Even if the fault signal is removed, the indicator will "remember" that a fault had occurred.

Reset is accomplished manually by rotating the knurled ring clockwise 60 degrees. The knob returns to its normal position automatically.
