YARWAY
LED ILLUMINATOR SYSTEM FOR COLOR-PORT GAUGES
INSTALLATION, OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
2 INTRODUCTION
Yarway LED illuminators are designed to be
mounted readily to the Yarway Color-Port gauge,
as well as most competitive color-port gauges.
All illuminators are complete with a color
screen containing two strips of glass - one red
and one green. Due to the difference in the
index of refraction of light through water and
steam, only the corresponding color is seen:
green for water, red for steam.
Yarway LED illuminators are available in lengths
from 5 ports to 26 ports.
2.1 System description
Yarway LED illuminators comprise five main
components. Use the exploded parts diagrams in
Section 13 as additional reference material.
Illuminator
- light source. It is composed of
an anodized, rigid, extruded aluminum that
protects the PC boards.
Bracket
- used to mount illuminator to Color-
Port gauge. The brackets can be moved up
and down along the extruded body making
assembly and disassembly quick and easy.
Power supply
- provides intrinsically safe
power to the LED illuminator. Power supply is
mounted inside an explosion proof enclosure
that is mounted to the illuminator body.
Cordset
- used to connect the power supply
to the illuminator. The cordset consists of a
straight female connector and a straight male
connector.
Level display
- focuses the light from the LED
illuminator to show the level.
2.2 Accessories
Level display hood and hooded mirror -
enhance the images for outdoor installations or
redirect the image for viewing below the gauge.
3 AVAILABLE MODELS
Yarway LED illuminators are made to fit/cover
the whole length of the Color-Port gauge. One
power supply is required per 26 ports (208 LEDs).
On average an LED will give the user 100,000
hours of use compared to 1000 hours for a
standard light bulb.
