TRIP Series indicators can be used wherever a noise alert is required, such as for start and stop conditions or an alert notifying a problem has occurred. The series includes several families of indicators: an Internal Drive Circuit family, a Panel Mount family, and a group of specialty indicators.
The TRIP family indicators with internal drive circuits emit a continuous tone (beep) for a high-pitched alarm at 2,700 to 4,000 Hz. Fast and slow pulsing options are also available. These beepers are designed for PC mounting (through-hole) and for screw-hole installation. These DCV units are available with wire leads or PC pins. Ideal for medical, security, and safety applications, the lower frequencies included in this TRIP family are well-suited for portable diabetes equipment, respirator pumps, and other non-life-supporting medical devices.
The Panel Mount TRIP family indicators are used in AC/DC applications. They are larger, rugged, and louder; designed to be hard-wired to the panel. Three different tone options are available: continuous, fast pulsing, slow pulsing or any combination. The typical operating voltage is 24V DC, although the products range from 6 to 28V DC (or up to 250 ACV). This Panel Mount family of indicators is ideally suited for industrial applications, such as reverse alerts in vehicles (i.e., forklifts), machinery problem alarms, as well as other material handling, factory floor, and vehicular applications where ambient noise competes with less audible signal devices.
