Miniature BITE Indicators
Latching Type

Qualified to MIL-PRF-83287/3
BHG
(Single Coil) Family
BHGD (Dual Coil) Family

Print information as a condensed 2 page document

Our patented latching feature assures fast positive response to a fault signal. The display ball changes color only when the indicator coil is pulsed by a BITE (Built-In Test Equipment) system. Our magnetic indicators have no bearings, springs or filaments to wear out and offer excellent visibility in high ambient light.

Covered by U.S. and Foreign Patents.
Cleared by DOD/OFOISR for public release under 00-S-1235 dated April 17, 2000.

OPERATION
When the indicator coil is energized with a 40 millisecond (or longer) pulse, the highly visible, two-color display ball spins 180 degrees and latches to the magnetic core. The displayed ball 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 has occurred.

Return to "No-Fault" color is accomplished electrically. Model BHG (single coil) is reset by reversing polarity of input signal to the coil. Model BHGD (dual coil) is reset by pulsing a separate internal coil.

Optional features include insulated lead wire termination, special lenses (radius dome, cylindrical, non-glare), O-ring panel seal, internally mounted diodes and RFI panel shield. Consult the factory for details.

Care should be taken in the application of the device as it is subject to magnetic interference from other devices that may emit magnetic fields.
