Tutorial: How to use Blue Indicator Light AD16-16C 24V

The blue indicator light AD16-16C is ideal for indicating the status of an electronic device or for visual signals on industrial panels. This simple yet essential component is perfect for both beginners and more experienced makers.

What you need

• Arduino
• 24V power supply
• connection cable

Steps

1. Check the system voltage and ensure you have a 24V power supply.
2. Connect the connection cable to the circuit or device you want to monitor.
3. Insert the indicator light into the panel hole, ensuring a stable position.
4. Connect the indicator light input to the Arduino digital port.
5. Write an Arduino sketch to control the state of the indicator light (on/off).
6. Verify that the indicator light turns on correctly when the signal is high and turns off when it is low.
7. If necessary, add a resistor between the Arduino and the indicator light to limit the current.
8. Test the complete system ensuring the indicator light functions as expected.

Example code

void setup() {
  pinMode(13, OUTPUT);
}

void loop() {
  digitalWrite(13, HIGH); // Accende la spia luminosa
  delay(500);
  digitalWrite(13, LOW); // Spegne la spia luminosa
  delay(500);
}

Mini project

Create a simple alarm system that turns on one or more indicator lights when motion is detected.

Common mistakes

• Use a different voltage than specified for the indicator light (24V).
• Omit the current limiting resistor, causing damage to the indicator light or the Arduino.
• Connecting the power supply of the indicator incorrectly according to the datasheet.
• Not adequately testing the indicator before integrating it into the system.

Recommended accessories

• 330 Ohm Resistor
• 24V Power Supply
• Universal Connection Cable
• Industrial Panel Maintenance Kit
