"Mini" Bite ™ Indicator
Model MB 25
Qualified to MIL-I-83287/5

Print information as a condensed 2 page document

Our nonvolatile internal drum indicator offers the designer a device which rotates when pulsed to change display color. Mounted on a P.C. board, the unit displays a color to indicate a fault or other desired circuit condition. The unit has excellent wide angle visibility under high ambient light conditions and contains no filament to burn out or replace.

Cleared by DOD/OFOISR for public release under 00-S-1235 datedApril 17, 2000.

OPERATION
The unit is provided with a set and reset function. A 20 millisecond pulse of the proper polarity applied to the set coil will cause an internal drum magnet to rotate and display a red or white color. A similar pulse of proper polarity applied to the reset coil will cause the drum to rotate and show black. The drum is magnetically latched and will remain in the position last pulsed. The device is nonvolatile, remaining in the set or reset condition without input power.

For matrix configurations this indicator may be gang mounted with minimum space between adjacent units.
