BINAY LED (LIGHT EMITTING DIODE) - BASED INTEGRAL INDICATOR MODULES FOR PANEL INDICATION

BINAY is the pioneer in the manufacture of specialised types of filament and gas-discharge lamps in the country.

The Binay Integral LED Module has been perfected in keeping with the Binay philosophy of developing an LED replacement for every incandescent light source. This is an original development - a world-wide first, invented by Binay and util-ising self-developed patented technology - and offers the following advantages:

  • A long life of 1,00,000 hours (11 years calculated on a continuous burning basis, thus requiring no further replacement once fitted; as such, they are a ONE-TIME EXPENSE - we guarantee for six years)
  • Low current consumption, and thus excellent energy conservation characteristics (e.g., half watt only at 220V AC), giving significant reduction in energy costs.
  • Solid-state reliability - shock-proof, vibration-resistant construction.
  • Ability to withstand an input voltage fluctuation of ± 25% without change in life or light output.
  • A short payback period.
Binay Integral LED Module Indicators are integral, self-contained LED indicator units, and can be directly mounted on the panel. The rated input voltage can be directly applied to the Module input, as all controlling circuitry is built into the Module body itself. As a separate holder is not required, in many cases these Modules are more economical than standard filament lamp/holder assembly combinations (as are available in the market).
The design of the LED Indicator is dependent on the limitations of the LED. High intensity Industrial-grade LEDs are necessarily required, not only for effective luminosity, but - more importantly - for user reliability. Also, the electronic characteristics of the device necessitate the use of special protective circuits to safeguard the LED in the industrial environment. For example, the LED is a 2-volt device; for operation at high voltages such as 220V and 440V (especially in DC), the use of a series resistor to drop excess voltage would normally NOT be an efficient so-lution, but rather a non-technical arrangement which would waste power in the form of heat. Moreover, the ex-cess heat would have a negative affect on the electronic characteristics of the LED which - being a semiconduc-tor device - is heat-sensitive. Such a design may severely compromise the reliability of the indicator.

Combining several years of experience with its patented technology in LED circuit design, Binay has devised innovative con-trol circuits for its LED Modules which offer dependable operation and low power consumption.Binay's primary objective is to satisfy the end-user's requirement of a bright, reliable, long-life indicator with MINIMAL power consumption. Binay LED Modules come with a SIX-YEAR free-replacement guarantee against manufacturing defects

Binay Integral LED Module Indicators are available in the following basic models:

For panel cutout diameters of 22.5mm, 25.5mm, 27.5mm, 30.5mm, and 19.5mm
JUMBO Integral LED Module
  • Available integrally in all voltage ratings up to 440VAC or 220VDC (as per requirement)
  • Input cable termination by screw terminals
These Jumbo LED Modules are ideal for indications on electrical control panels and control desks. They are available in several ranges: the Industrial Series, the Enhanced Series, the Primary Series, and the Economy Series. Each Series offers successive levels of features, and as such the user can make a selection depending on the require-ment.

INDUSTRIAL SERIES Jumbo LED Modules

The Industrial type has been developed for more discerning industrial users. This series features heat-resistant, flame-retardant thermosetting epoxy/DMC material construction, with a chrome-plated brass bezel for mounting the polycarbonate lens. Light emission is through use of standard, industrial-grade LEDs. In addition, the speciality of the Industrial series is that each Module incorporates a Low Voltage Glow Protection (LVGP) circuit and a series fuse. The LVGP circuit prevents glowing of the LED at leakage voltages (which are very common in industrial environments, and are generated due to inductive coupling between adjacent long runs of control cables). The internal fuse provides protection against an accidental short-circuit in the Module. Each Module undergoes a burnin (ageing) process for 24 hours at an accelerated voltage of 280V.

ENHANCED SERIES Jumbo LED Modules

These Modules also feature heat-resistant, flame-retardant bodies made of thermosetting epoxy DMC material, with a chrome-plated brass bezel on which the polycarbonate lens is mounted. Standard, industrial-grade LEDs are used to provide a reliable indication. Each Module undergoes a burnin (ageing) process for 12 hours at an accelerated voltage of 280V.

SIMULATIVE ADAPTERS: Industrial and Enhanced Series Jumbo Modules are available in SIMULATIVE (look-alike)
BEZEL/ADAPTER Sets for different panel cutouts. The Bezels and top lenses of these Adapters simulate the frontal appearance of the lens assembly of popular makes of pilot lamps. The following types are presently available:
  • For 22.5mm dia. panel cutout-"Siemens 3SB" Simulative Bezel/Adapter set
    - Square flat lens Bezel/Adapter set (suitable for legend imprinting)
  • For 25.5mm dia. panel cutout -"3SC" (similar to Siemens) Simulative Bezel/Adapter set
    - "English Electric ODL" Simulative Bezel/Adapter set

  • For 27.5mm dia. panel cutout- "3SD" (similar to ABB pilot light units) Simulative Bezel/Adapter set

  • For 30.5mm dia. panel cutout- "Siemens 3SL" Simulative Bezel/Adapter set
    - "L&T" Simulative Bezel/Adapter set

Standard, industrial-grade LEDs and components are util-ised for reliable light service. Modules are available for 22.5mmf, 25.5mmf, and 30.5mmf panel cutouts. Each Module under-goes a ageing procedure for 12 hours at an accelerated voltage of 250V

BICOLOUR INTEGRAL LED MODULES

Many of the above Modules are available in Bicolour versions. These utilise special dual-colour (red/green) LED arrangements. One Module can thus be used to indicate two states of operation.

FLASHER type UniMIDI, MultiMIDI, 16-L and JUMBO INTEGRAL LED MODULES

UniMidi, MultiMidi, 16-L and Jumbo Modules are also available in FLASHER versions. These have an in-built circuit which causes the Module to flash at a rate of 2-4 Hertz when the rated input voltage is applied. This is extremely effective for drawing attention, and these Modules are suitable for positions which require to be attended to immediately.

TRISTATE JUMBO LED MODULES

Jumbo LED Modules (in certain ratings) are also available in tri-state versions. These have an extra input, which has a flasher function. A single Module can thus give ON, OFF, and FLASHING indications, serving dual purposes.

HIGH VOLTAGE CONTROL CIRCUIT UNIT FOR USE WITH LED MODULES

Standard, Mini, and Liliput LED Modules, which cannot be made integrally in higher voltages or in flasher versions, can also be used at these ratings (above 60V - 110V, 220V, or 440V) or with the flasher function with the inclusion of our High Voltage Control Circuit (HVCC) Units. These are of basic dimensions 90mmX25mmX25mm (LxBxW). The Unit is fitted externally to the Module, and is provided with terminals for input (from high-voltage source) and output (to Module).
  • RESISTIVE HVCC Unit: This is for use on AC/DC input conditions (above 60V up to 110VDC only)
  • IMPEDANCE HVCC Unit: For use on high voltage AC input (above 60VAC to 440VAC)
  • PULSED CIRCUIT: This is a special circuit for use on high voltage DC input (above 120VDC to 220VDC).
  • FLASHER HVCC Unit: This circuit causes the Module to flash at a steady rate of 2-4 Hertz (above 45VAC or 45VDC only)
