BITE Indicators
Model MI 57DA

Print information as a condensed 2 page document

The MI 57DA series magnetic latching fault indicator coil is pulsed by a BITE (Built-In Test Equipment) system. The "clover leaf" pattern provides a high contrast visual indication and an effective warning of system faults.

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 display disc rotates and latches to the magnetic core. The display disc 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.

Return to the "No-Fault" position is accomplished electronically by pulsing a separate internal coil.

ORDERING INFORMATION

When ordering, show model number first, then coil voltage desired, then the color combination desired. If this is a special part, factory modification number will be added at the end of the ordering number.

Example:
Basic model with front panel threaded case for 12 volts with white as set color and black as reset color would be Model MI 57DA-12-W/BLK-LT.
