ALARM ANNUNCIATORS

The Undisputed Leader

Many pioneering advancements have been introduced for the first time by
Minilec. The Minilec range of Alarm Annunciators is equipped with well
researched and innovative features highly appreciated by consultants and
customers (and imitated by competitors !)
Some of the trend setting technologies and features initiated by Minilec are as
follows :

Microprocessor based system

For robust design and easier troubleshooting.
ISO 9001 standards : For high standards of quality assurance and
reliability.
LEDs for facia : For lower maintenance costs, long life and low energy
consumption.
Multi coloured windows : For simplified fault differentiation.
Standard modules : For seamless integration and better aesthetics.
Moulded enclosure : For space savings and improved aesthetics.
Easily accessible DIP switches : For faster programming by eliminating
the need to open the unit.
Any operating sequence : For added flexibility and convenience.
Serial communication : For computerised fault detection and automatic
documentation.

Solutions for Varying Needs

The Minilec range of annuciators is highly diversified and adaptable to a wide
spectrum conditions. Be it a Power station, Sub station, Sugar factory, Steel
plant, Fertiliser / Petrochemical plant, ships and dockyards, railways or for that
matter, any process plant. Be it in the hot summers of Rajasthan, Egypt of
Indonesia or the humid atmosphere of Clacutta, Chennai or Malaysia, Minilec
takes it all in its stride !
The Product Range
MBAS 08 - for 4, 6, & 8 Points
MICROWARN 0600 - for 6,8,12 points

MBAS 9900 screens Annunciator accepts 12 / 24 V DC potential

input & also provides control relay output. Added built-in buzzer &
push buttons makes it complete Annunciator with control output.
This output is interlocked until all fault input resets. MBAS 9900 is
presently available in 4 point & 6 point small window (30 x 30mm)
configuration. Both 4 point & 6 point systems come with built-in
push buttons.

Microfacia are LED window assemblies for RUN, TRIP or

FAULT indications. With microfacia windows the panel
designers can improve aesthetic value to the panel indications
in a Row / Column format. Microfacia is useful for direct
operation with AC or DC voltage
